Got a letter from the club regarding the supporter group and plans for our 150th birthdy and it occured to me that coincidentally it is our tenth birthday as a group in 2008.

Was thinking we need to do something and wondered if you guys had any ideas on how we can tie this into the club celebrations without taking away the importance of the 150th anniversary.

I was thinking of a tshirt or something with both the 150 years MFC and 10 years Qld Demons but not sure.. once I have a good plan I will put it to the club.

    Come on guys give me some ideas...

    Tshirts?

    Polo Shirts?( more expensive but better wear and tear)

    hats?

    stubbie holders?

    key rings?

    fridge magnets?

    none of the above?

    Just would like to have something to celebrate both events. I would expect the club to come out with a lot of merchandise for the 150th but if we could get something with our 10th birthday on it also.. well it would be pretty cool.

    Yes, Forest it will mean automatic Qld Demons membership. If you PM me with your contact details I will forward you an official membership form once I have made them up for the next season.

    We are also having a get together at Ormeau - halfway between GC and Brissie on 8th December so you can meet some fellow Qld Demons and we can discuss this year's disaster and next year's promise.

    Once all the details are formalised a more official invite will come out.

    So, any ideas what you would like to celebrate our birthday?

    a good old fashioned stubby holder is always a winner, but a polo shirt probably is the most appropriate. There always quite practical and get a bit of use

    It looks like the polo will be the go... just have to work out the logistics of it as I will probably see if the club will get them done for us and we sell them and give the cash back to the club.

    If you are an interstate member of the MFC, you are automatically entitled to be a Qld Demon for no extra cost however for those who prefer snail mail to email, we do charge $10 to help cover cost of postage for newsletters etc.

    All I need are your personal details...eg name address phone and email address and I will forward a membership card to you.

    Membership applications are not yet done - design and alteration dont take long - just getting around to it. My guy who was helping out in this area with design has gone AWOL and so I have to do it all myself again..

    hence the delay.

    Helo Demondeb.

    I have been in Qld for a while now, and at one stage you sent me a Qld demons membership form that i may or may not have completed.

    Is it possible to check to see if i am registered, and if not, to send another form out, as i am probably in a position to attend some of your functions now.

    What details do you need?

    Regards, Faultydet

    Hi Faulty

    PM me with your details as I cant tell if I have you on the books or not. We are having a bit of a postmortem/prexmas/preseason get together on 8 December at Ormeau.

    I will have membership forms for people to take or fill in then. I dont have them done yet. Bit of a design issue at the moment.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
