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.

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.

Level exhausted so far because only 3 bays actually go on sale and 3 under cover sections.

Most of level 1 is walk up on the day

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.

 

 

So in theory could I use my Dee's barcodes to buy for a non-dee's game? or only the game we're in.  Might test that out.

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

Work meetings meant I couldn’t get on till midday, managed to get 5 seats in M54. Very much feels like lucky dip with Ticketek.

That said, stoked that I’ll be able to take the kids to their first finals games.

My son was getting the tickets for me and said he was having trouble, we have 6 legends seats in N49 and he was offered seats elsewhere before he got cut off.

I hade received an invitation to attend a function to be held in the Ponsford Stand but they were $550 each so I had to consider if I wanted to play that much. End result was my son got 2 in M9 behind the goals the Punt road end and I got 2 behind the other goals at the other end of the ground in the Ponsford stand.

Really disappointed that we have been so shabbily treated by the club and they have allowed members to get [censored] seats and possibly given ours to opposition supporters. 

I'll probably offload the seats behind the goals but they cost $171.50 and are considered premium seats, not sure what that's based on.

My mate, also a premium member, used his barcode to buy 6 good tickets - 4 non members. No fault on him of course.

I put this on the club..

Paying members must get better treatment.

It's not the clubs fault, it would be the MCG/AFL making these decisions.

It's not really the club's fault - they are at the mercy of Ticketek. I can't remember having the option to buy 10 tickets in 2018, but this is a ridiculous idea. Perfect for scalpers who want to use the Ticketek re-sale site, so Ticketek get their commission twice on those tickets.

Really hope everyone who wanted a ticket, managed to get one. If not, and you are a member, the club is surely obliged to find you tickets?

Why are they making us scrap for tickets when there will likely be only 65K at the match?

and $82 for a seat? GAGF!

I just bought some Cat 5 swans members seats ($35) just to get in the ground. ill sit wherever or stand

I think there will be way more than 65k. AFL Members almost sold out, MCC reserved seating sold out and most general public seats available are in the nosebleeds (except for a handful of single seats level 1 Ponsford). Should be looking at 80k-90k.

really? I dunno.  maybe if no rain. you'd expect 50K demons fans, 15K sydney, a few neutral?. 

to get 70K would be amazing! Let's hope its a ripper loud crowd.

that's assuming the "apparent" sell-outs are real sell-outs and not a ticketek balls-up

Exceeding 70K will depend on AFL members.  We don't have many and that stand is generally rather empty when we play i/state teams.

I doubt Sydney have many AFL members.

The crowd could easily be 80% demon fans and we will make quite a noise!

No doubt you are correct Dr. and it is the MCC or AfL make these decisions.

However, it is up to the club to represent its members. Surely the MFC is not without influence. Further, I'm sure other clubs have similar issues. It would be interesting to see how, say, the filth supporters went when purchasing their finals tickets today.

The AFL should ultimately represent the clubs who in turn, represent their members.

Swans are one of the biggest supported interstate teams in Melbourne (Old South Melbourne supporters)

And surely that would not be a difficult program fix!  If you can identify unique bar codes to individual teams (and I have no doubt that you can), I can only repeat, this would be a very quick fix.

Will they? Of course not

In our 2021 game, Sydney actually outnumbered us in the AFL members.

We certainly do not have many AFL (MFC) members

Further to @david_neitz_is_my_dad and @Bring-Back-Powell observations, recall fondly the lengthy outrage and counteroutrage herein about Swans supporters outnumbering us this year!

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 

I don't think that's the case for finals games though I could be wrong - H&A definitely which is utter crap but that's why they renamed it the AFL Reserve instead of the AFL Members Reserve some time ago. AFL members typically only get 13k tickets to the GF in a 23k seat reserve - all the AFL hangers on plus 5k medallion club members get seats in the AFL reserve.

@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.

You were probably trying to select more seats than were available in that bay. So instead of kicking you back to select again it gave you seats in the most comparable section available

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.

Fortunately you can usually go and sit wherever you want for Melbourne H&A games. I walked up to level N and P a few times this year and just sat wherever I wanted.

    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
