The Melbourne Football Club is turning 150

Recommended Posts

The club has informed us that the Demonology/Demonland 150 club syndicate recently hit $9,676 out of the $12,386 required for our syndicate to become full members of the Melbourne Football Club's 150 Club. This is thanks mainly to site members 'support of the 'Pay So He Can Play' initiative in regards to Michael Newton, which alone raised the club over $1,500.

The money donated for the 150 Club goes towards the fitting out of the new stadium in the Olympic Park precinct, which will help our club move towards gaining state of the art training, gym and recovery facilities, as well as a genuine base for the club in the middle of the city, right next to our playing home, the MCG - something the MFC has not had for a number of years.

As members of the Demonology and Demonland sites, we have already showed our support and love for the Melbourne Football Club. The 150 Club is another way to show this support for a club that desperately requires it - only in a more tangible way.

There is no doubt that this is the biggest thing to happen to this club in the past four decades since the last premiership. The club is making efforts to entrench itself as the club of Melbourne and a home base in the heart of the city will certainly help to achieve this.

For the Demonology/Demonland syndicate, we have come up with a relatively simple category system for donations, as follows:

Platinum member = $415

Gold member = $330

Silver member = $250

Bronze member = $165

Red and Blue member = $85

Donations: $20, $30, $40, $50, $60, $70

Any donation you could make would be fantastic, and would go a long way towards making our club more competitive off the field and on the field in what is becoming an increasingly uncompetitive arena.

To become an integral part of the Melbourne Football Club's future and make a donation, please email me by clicking HERE so the donation form can be forwarded to you. Please remember to write 'Demonology' next to your name on the form so the club can tally our donations. You can also PM me your email and I'll forward you the form or any information there.

Thanks must go to Greg Romanes at the club for helping to make this possible and tallying the donations for us. Anyone who has questions or queries about the 150 Club, or the possibility of becoming a full member yourself, you are welcome to contact him on 9652 1122, or BY EMAIL

This is a great initative and Whispering Jack is working on a function which will hopefully help to get us across the line to enable our syndicate to become full members of the Melbourne Football Club's 150 Club.

Just wondering how close we are to having the syndicate becoem full members?

And how close the club is to getting to the target?

We are currently just $990 from hitting out target as a syndicate...

As for the club's target, I'm not sure.

Can you give us an update on the target for the syndicate? If we are still short I may be able to get us over the line.

I need to know before Wed night ( 5 Nov) if possible.

I've just received an update from the club.

The Demonology/Demonland 150 Club Syndicate has so far raised $11,961 of the $12,384 required ($423 to go)

We are incredibly close to being full members of the 150 Club, which is a testament to the two sites.

To anyone who would like to make a pledge to see us get over the line, you can download the donation form HERE.

Just remember to write "Demonology/Demonland" next to your name on the form.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
