    Got a couple; Wednesday and Yesterday. Put them both into junk mail! Damned if I know how they obtained my email address (although maybe I can guess). 
    Cheeky ba***rds!

    Yep, I also got a junk email for the North Melbourne tipping comp. Strange. I would guess a legacy of past tipping comp participation and the way data is held.

    There is a company out there now which you can authorise and pay a modest amount to systematically identify everywhere that your data has been retained, and go through the process of formally requesting removal.

    I'm too broke to do it but will right on it as soon as I have any identity worth protecting.

    The mailing list is handled by the ticket company. Not impressed at all.

    This is what I posted on the ticketing thread:

    On a related topic I have got some strange emails from the membership depts managed presumably by the ticketing companies.

    First was last week encouraging me to renew my MFC membership which was done 4 months ago. Yesterday I got one asking me to join the North Melbourne tipping comp. The footer said I had registered to receive updates from North Melbourne which of course I have never done.

    In these days of cyber hacks you wonder how secure and maintained your data is. Not to mention where it is

    My wife did. I assume it was as a result of buying a reserved seat ticket last year on our Ticketmaster/Ticketek (whichever Marvel uses) account. 

    We got similar spam email from Brisbane and Fremantle after buying reserved seats for those games last year. 

    Seems they data mine that info. Best to unsubscribe.

    I did and I always tick the no promotional box when buying tickets

    • Demonland changed the title to Spam Emails from North Melbourne

    They're sponsored by Tiktok, so suddenly they're a very powerful club with "ways" of finding things out, and not to be messed with. Woe betide the club that beats them in a match this year. There will be a price to be paid.

    I advise everyone who received this "offer" to take it up, otherwise you'll have an "exchange student" living in your house reporting everything that's said or done to "Tiktok" headquarters.

    GO DEMONS ROOS!!!

    I do too. But I still received promotional emails from Brisbane & Freo after attending those games. Unsubscribing straight away solved the issue. 

    I purchased the reserved seat for the North game in Round 10 and didn’t receive any spam from them until last week.

    I received one of those Nth Melb emails a couple of days ago, about 7 days after I renewed my membership. Being in Sydney I haven’t purchased any seating this year as yet. Not very impressed at all. I can’t live with the thought that someone thinks I might follow Nth.

    I purchased last year and received the spam email last week.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
