  • 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.

I sign up, and nag my folks to as well, once the first correspondence with a renewal form comes out every year. Also last year I managed to convert my 12-yr-old cousin from collingwood to melbourne, and am now working on his 6-yr-old younger brother.

That's right, 4Dees!!!

I(and my family) will be proud to once again sit through a bad season as a staunch supporter,as in "65 to '87, with little or no joy. I'll watch the reigning premiers every year revel in ephemeral "bandwagon jumpers" patting them on the back. I'll know that when our day of glory arrives(should have been '87 or '90), we true supporters will really deserve the euphoria that a premiership would bring.(unlike the West Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide "new-chums", who have no idea what loyally following a Club through years, no, decades ,of thick and thin is all about.)

In the mean-time, we'll have to go back to mid-nineties mode , and concentrate on the survival of our club as we know it.

Every year we survive in our own right is a year of triumph.

If you join up now, after this rotten start, you're showing the sort of loyalty we want!(though you should have joined earlier, now it is a real feather in your cap to make the commitment.)

I'm an MCC member and to be honest with you (don't hate me), I haven't bought a 2008 MFC membership yet. This is the first year that I've had to buy my own and I will hopefully get around to it soon.

Sadly, I do know quite a number of supporters who are in the same position as I am (age-wise and having to buy it themselves for the first time), who have not bought a membership and have no intention of doing so.

Am only a $40 MCC/MFC member - which would surprise some I guess.

I decided it was better to buy a $40 membership for myself and 3 of my friends than the one full MCC/MFC membership. Adds 3 members to the tally and get the club the same amount of money.

wow I expected it to be high, but +95%

so just who ARE these 250,000 supporters we supposedly have

It's not very surprising that the vast majority of visitors to this site are contributing financially to the Club.

Nah.

Grew up in a small country town and hadda take a 10 year hiatus from Aussie Rules til I was able to forget all the miserable, bullying, chauvinist, hyper-blokey, pack-mentality shite that goes with country footy. If yr a country footy hero, well, you can't get away with murder, but you can certainly get away with rape. It's the kinda thing to turn a principled young buck off footy for... oh, about 10 years.

But anyway.

I'm back. And just in time too. I'll be lodging an application to become club president after this Gardiner bloke nicks off. In fact, I'll be lodging an application to become centre half back too.

But to answer yr question: I'm not a member. Tried to buy a membership online, no good. Tried to buy a membership before the match against the Hawks, but I showed up at the G late in Q1 and although there were two Hawks tents not far off, there were no Demons tents in sight, so no good. I'll get around to it.

I do attend every home game, unless I'm high, low, or flat out sideways.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
