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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
