    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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
