Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Now a message pops up no longer on sale. Eff the AFL.

There is a hiatus between 2 and 3 pm when Members sales ended and General Public opens.

@dworshipThanks.

That is weird.  Every time I clicked on an 'available' bay it didn't show what seats were available; it just sent me to some other bay in a whole different part of the ground.  Happened about 3 or 4 times.  FOMO set in and I gave up trying to get seats in what looked like 'available' bays and took what the computer generated.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the AFL just tells clubs that Home and Away is their time to shine and make money and the finals is theirs. 

Yes and I think we try to do packages to make a bit of extra. Associated with all this I understand the Grand Final winner gets a cheque from the AFL but do the other finalists?

I discovered in last few years , the Afl reserve has interstate club local melbourne  members who pay top dollar and so get into afl reserve. This dilutes availability of tickets for normal afl members 

If you wants a hint as to how diluted it actually is, it was once called the AFL Members Reserve and now is just the AFL Reserve.

Every man and their dog are able to access the reserve if they are an interstate member.

Richmond Premium members can access it too for away games...

Then they gave P15-P20 to the Medallion club which are always empty.

I understand that I can get Medallion Clubs in N19 which are incredible but woulkd rather have level 2 and 2A back with us members.

My old Man been an AFL Member since it became a thing and he gets beyond pissy that we lost the best seats on 2A.

It will be interesting to see what public seats become available. The hiatus is just weird, if there are member seats still available surely a Member should be able to purchase one even after 2pm.

Question about todays sale. You could have clicked on Sydney member and got tickets after putting the barcode in. So if we had played the Pies would they have taken all our tickets as well. 

Maybe but we have bought out almost all of Sydney Level 1,2 and 2A allocation so there are a lot more Melbourne members who crawl out for finals

Don't know for sure but I doubt it as it is our "Home game"

Well, yeah exactly. That sounds like a pretty ugly truth.

Its a good bay M50 right next to the MCC members and the benches.

 

This is where we generally sit so I was stoked to get M50 again. 

 

It's just always hard to know if what you are given is a Melbourne allocation, not that Swans supporters worry me, I just rather sit with my own kind 😆

Did anyone have trouble with getting MCC seats. I was in around 9.10 and couldnt get three tickets for level 2, tried level 1 not enough tickets. Ended up in Q nosebleed territory for the first time ever. Went back in and only seats left are in Q and walk up. MCC is going to be rocking Friday night.

Exactly the same story for me as well. Not sure how many tickets have been allocated for walk up start.

If anyone is wanting better tickets or group of tickets, two of my family members miscommunicated and bought 6xtickets in twice when we only need six.  So six available in bottom level olympic stand forward pocket.  DM if interested, selling for face value of tickets, not scalping or anything like that.

I've followed most of this thread. There's been some happy posts and some bloody sad posts.

Overall though there has been far too much confusion and far too many problems. We are club members who pay up. We represent  reliable money in the bank for the club and the AFL.

We deserve better treatment.

Consider the facts.

We have 60000 plus members, so lets allocate them 10 tickets each! Even my basic grasp of mathematics suggest that something is amiss with that equation!

We have 2 major games coming up in 2 weeks ( two weeks away).  Well logically let's put the tickets for both on sale at the same time. FMD!

Oh and for good measure, let's sell those tickets through an online system that seems designed to be as obtuse as possible.

There are computer systems that can land and operate a dinky toy on Mars FFS!

Surely the AFL could do just a little bit better?

Once again Ticketek has proven to be useless.

1. They allocate tickets by bay.  So the best seats in one bay are not available until the worst in the bay next door are sold.

2. How many times do they have to stuff up to learn you cannot sell all the finals games on the one day at the same time?  Small wonder people cannot get on. The first game is 8 days away. 

3. They have insufficient staff, so don't try to call them to fix up their mistakes.

4. Any barcodes get a ticket, even if for opposing sides....wait until the Collingwood crowd find out and buy out all the tickets for their next game.

4.  The problem is the MCC, not the MFC control who sells tickets.  They have contracted Ticketek.

Marvel stadium owned by the AFL uses Ticketmaster, and buying tickets through them is a breeze.

Got on at 10 couldn't get 5 cat 1 seats together - they kept on giving me rubbish seats. So just went what the hell and took what they served up... went to pay and then got ..... Oops something went wrong.... 

Back to the end of the queue.... 30+minutes later gave up on 5 seats and took 3 together (stiff bickies for the 2 extra people I was trying to buy for) 

Ended up in M56... could be worse I guess

And to make matters worse, Collingwood supporters hog most of the AFL members reserve

Going to be a nightmare getting tickets in the AFL members if we play them in a prelim.

And if we do get tickets, it's going to be a nightmare sitting next to the ferals.

Hopefully they go out in straight sets.

So I got distracted and logged in at midday and after looking at some pretty bad seats I gave up and just got what it assigned Level 2A, P7... I don't know the level, someone told me I'll need to go down to Level 1 to get Beer, is that right?

That's my seating area during the H&A.

IMO they are great seats , good view and no you don't need to go to level 1.

MCC hardly a privilege in these corporate-deal days. Complete nose-bleeders in pocket after clicking for Level 1's for too long. How the Hell could Level 1 exhaust in 7 minutes? 

Level Q is like a vacuum even when filled.

Beats watching on tellie though.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
