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.

Melbourne long range weather forecast

June 12th top 14 degrees and wet. Not what we want to see. 

Long range weather forecasts are about as reliable as Michael Bloody Christian!!

It largely depends on whether people who already have reserved seats turn up. My reserved seats sections is never anywhere near full and I don't believe there are any spare seats available for sale.

I will put my hand up as potentially one of those members who has a reserved seat near you and doesn’t use it. I am also a MCC/ MFC member and prefer sitting there, although I may sit in my reserved seat on Kings Birthday to try and avoid Collingwood supporters as much as possible and hopefully give another Melbourne supporter a chance to get in.

That's not the actual situation. Access to any part or section is "subject to availability" no matter if you have Members tickets.  Yes there are some small loopholes maybe but if you don't act with some haste fully well knowing that Anzac Eve or Kings Birthday are likely challenges to the norm. 

Gawndy the Great in his heartfelt post about MFC members possibly missing out is nice empathy but some members are very complacent and assume it is the same as a 25,000 entry.
I love the fact that Melb are now getting benefits that they only dreamed of a decade ago but it has been a well earned ride. The bottom line is 85,000/90,000 plus many of who have doubled dipped with our Membership and reserved seats contributing. Pies fans also contribute and non members with the GA pay at the gate and some have reserved seats and a minimum not. 
But the bottom line is that we will pocket $1.5/2million and that is what we have earned the right to because of our status over the last 3 of 6 seasons plus 2018 also included. 
Gawndy rabbited on about Cwood getting all the silver service from the AFL and this galling and unfair at times. But don't get down about our lot in life no one wants to pay attention to a jealous loser who can't celebrate the good in their Club. 

I don't want to ever return to the depths of despair from 2007-2014 where again was as precious as a flag.  And life is changing for us snd it's all good just go with the flow  or you will be left behind to sit in a corner and sulk. 

Here's hoping we go to KB Monday (after 2 more wins and are 9-3) and provide the upset of the year. 

We are not that far off but need to lift as the whips  start cracking as we turn for home and September as our main course for the year. Up and at em Go Dees. 

good post. I am one of the complacent ones. I really haven't been in this position much, and its great! 10 years ago I had a bay to myself on ground level and it sucked

Agree with your sentiments, why complain about what the Pies have? Think about a year ago and now consider we have Anzac eve, BF monday, many night games and lots of TV exposure.  If you are correct and we could make 2M from this game it is bloody fantastic!

Now over the Gawn, Vines and the boys to make us proud

Yes results are expected as well Letsstart Saturday and flick out the Freo flames. Won't be easy it's  a 50/50 game I suspect. ScoMo if our B graders and role players will need to contribute.

Just bought a couple MCC guest passes for @DubDee, the PAX number on the tickets are 83,000 which means 83,000 tickets have been sold (including our reserved seat members) with MCC walk ups (around 8k) to be added on the day. 90k a real possibility

Shout out to my man FTB!  lovely chap who went out of his way to make sure me and my mate can attend. And attend in style in the MCC, I'll have to fish a collared shirt out of the wardrobe!  lol

That's it, embrace the big crowds. Get there early so there's no issues getting your seats etc. I've got mates who complain that it was easier to just rock up in the old days 5 minutes before and get your seat. Well with success comes more responsibility for us fans too. 

When we're cellar dwellers again then they can go back to cramming in as many beers as they can before bounce.

Hopefully it has a snowball effect too - in future more people will reserve seats earlier so they don't miss out meaning it will become a fully ticketed event in perpetuity. That's the hope anyway (for this and Anzac Eve).

The problem with that is people could still miss out. Sell outs are good financially but people can still miss out.

It was mentioned earlier here or on the ticketing thread, but I just wanted to stress the point that tickets are still available for GA members. On Ticketek select 'Club Members & Public Reserve', enter your membership barcode/s, hit unlock tickets then a pop-up appears and select 'Melbourne Supporter Allocation'.  Still a handful of seats available in the bays highlighted in the image below. Mostly single seats, but some pairs of seats still available together. It's only a sellout for the general public.

Some like me have MFC Memberships but sit in the MCC area. There's quite a lot like that who simply want to support the club financially and directly.

Yeah for sure. All the publicity has been about how the match is a sellout so many won't even look, or worse some GA members might have missed the communication and turn up on game day thinking they'll be able to enter the ground. Where did these seats come from anyway? Reserved seat members?

I reckon they should remove some seats on lvl 1 and make large standing areas at the back right around the ground. This would increase the capacity significantly.

Ye they are the unsold reserved seats. Collingwood are doing the same thing in the ponsford.

can imagine there’s going to be more than one person that rocks up on the day and tries to scan in with an error message

As a redleg member without a reserved seat { my choice } I wouldn't expect to miss out on a seat.

People public tickets are sold.

If you have a MFC GA membership you need to purchase a seat, which you still can. there will be no walk ups on the day. No reserved seat no entry.

    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
