Quite a pleasant surprise to see Lynden Dunn in this Tik-Tok video. Great to see him wearing a Demons scarf! He did play 165 games for the Melbourne Football Club after all! https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRkVKqA3/ Was a bit of a cheeky comment by Lynden to that Jordan bloke from Melbourne Fan TV but having said that I wouldn't be able to be runner at the club either. 😂😅🤣

I am still going to keep bugging the MFC board until this project has been completed. We cannot let up on this issue. Every other AFL club has a home base but us! It is an absolute disgrace and must be rectified! Collingwood had Victoria Park and now Olympic Park with its multi-million dollar administration and training base known as the Holden Centre. Carlton have Princes Park. Richmond have Punt Road Oval. Which is getting an $85 million dollar upgrade I think? Western Bulldogs have Whitten Oval and another upcoming training base in the Western suburbs of Melbourne which is getting paid for with Government money. Geelong have Kardinia Park or whatever it is called now? GMHBA stadium? Hawthorn had Glenferrie Oval, currently Waverley Park in Mulgrave and will have a massive new multi-million dollar ($50 million?) home base being built in Dingley. I drove past it over the weekend and it is a massive piece of land! Essendon have Windy Hill and Essendon Fields known as "the Hangar" which is a huge multi-million dollar facility. North Melbourne have Arden Street Oval. St. Kilda had Junction Oval, the Moorabbin Oval, then Seaford and are now back at Moorabbin Oval. Whereas our club, the Melbourne Demons are basically AFL nomads. Our spiritual home is the MCG but we cannot even train there. We were temporarily at Junction Oval for over 20 years. Then we moved to Gosch's Paddock after Collingwood had the Holden Centre at Olympic Park completed. We also have Casey Fields in Cranbourne East which has been wonderful for us. The MCG sized training oval there has been wonderful for us. Nevertheless, we still need a place to combine both our administration, training and a social club. Let's hope this can be done by the MFC board in the next 5 to 10 years. Getting our home base completed will be almost as significant as winning a Premiership as we will finally have a place that property belongs to the Melbourne Demons. While breaking our Premiership drought of 57 years has been the ultimate achievement. We will judge the current MFC board on whether or not they can achieve this incredibly significant task of a home base.

Was thinking that the best option would be relocating North Melbourne to Tasmania perhaps? Hobart Kangaroos? Anyway, I guess we shall wait and see what happens. I do think there should be a Tasmanian team in the AFL eventually. Money is the issue unfortunately.

I honestly would be extremely surprised if this happened. From my understanding Toddy Viney is enjoying retirement up on his farm in country Victoria. I also think Todd Viney wants to see another Premiership or two won by the Melbourne Demons at the MCG (this time). I cannot see Todd Viney making a comeback to AFL ranks but you can never say never.

An outrageous outcome. Protecting a player should overrule rough play. But oh well...this is up to the AFL to deal with these ridiculous inconsistencies at the tribunal. As for our beloved Melbourne Demons we can only beat who is in front of us. If Cripps is now playing then so be it. You need to beat the best to be the best.

I still haven't given up hope that Luke Jackson will re-sign to the Demons for another 2 years. He will then end up at West Coast and replace Nic-Nat. Anyway, fingers crossed he can play in another Melbourne Demons Premiership first.

Last time we took a former Collingwood ruckman in Peter Moore he won a (2nd) Brownlow for the Melbourne Football Club back in 1984. However, unless Brodie Grundy has recuperated from his injuries and learns to kick goals I don't think he is worth the risk. Let Port Adelaide have him.

After a few days of seething in anger I have (finally) recuperated from our loss to Collingwood. It really was a game we should of won. What annoys me the most about Collingwood isn't even their players. I can have begrudging respect for some of the Magpies players. It is the numerous amount of vile, disgusting, obnoxious and arrogant Collingwood supporters that there are and the fact that they still think the Melbourne Football Club are a joke to them. Getting stuck on the train carriage full of them on the way home from the MCG is never a pleasant experience. I have always had the view of quality over quantity when it comes to Melbourne Demons supporters. In many ways being reigning 2021 AFL Premiers didn't do much except give them more reason to ridicule us when we lose. Getting beaten by them twice so far this season has really sucked. I am definitely hopeful we can enact revenge upon them in the finals. Anyway, I hate Collingwood and I look forward to the days when we can begin beating them again on a regular basis.

There's only so many jokes about "going on holidays to the snow" that I can take from Collingwood Supporters. I personally haven't been to the snow in well over 15 years! Best to just laugh off any comments said. Collingwood Supporters certainly like to dish out the insults and banter but if you dare to do the same back it can often lead to violent altercations. So always have your wits about you if you think a fight is going to start. Some Collingwood Supporters have a history of thuggery. Stay safe all those going tomorrow night.

Would of preferred Ed Langdon to be a bit more humble. Let our actions do the talking. Anyway, it will definitely be a very tough and exciting game tomorrow night. I genuinely despise Collingwood and their feral supporters. I encourage as many Melbourne supporters as possible to show up! GO DEMONS!!!

Angus Brayshaw now a Demon for life! Let's hope he obtains a few more Premiership medallions for the Melbourne Football Club! ON YA ANGUS! GO DEMONS!!!

Great to see the Melbourne Demons President Kate Roffey barracking hard with the Demon Army! Fantastic stuff! I also loved seeing the old school 1980s Demons logo signs in the Demon Army!

I was quietly confident that Angus Brayshaw would re-sign for the Melbourne Demons. He definitely loves the Melbourne Football Club. The interview with Garry Lyon last year in the player rooms after the Premiership win when he proudly said "Our Club" was incredibly significant. This just goes to show how vital it is to have a positive culture and to win games regularly. A Premiership has definitely invigorated not only the entire club but the players. I genuinely wish Angus Brayshaw the very best and hopes that he has further Premiership success as a long-term Demons player and also ends up playing 300+ games for the Club.

Fingers crossed that Angus Brayshaw does indeed re-sign with the Melbourne Football Club. He is vital to our culture and the overall leadership of the team. Angus is a pretty talented and inspirational player too!

I am still hopeful Luke Jackson will sign a 2 or 3 year contract to win another Premiership with the Demons. Why leave when you have the chance to win another Premiership or more? I under home sickness is a factor but what about loyalty to your team mates? However, the longer this drags on the less likely this will happen and he will return to Perth. If we are to lose Luke Jackson to either West Coast or Fremantle we need to be fairly compensated. This means either a good quality player and a first round draft pick or 2 first round draft picks. Remember, it cost us 2 first round draft picks to Adelaide to get Jake Lever so I see that as being the ideal trade deal for us to ask for from either Fremantle or West Coast.

Exactly! Stage 1 now complete. Time for Stage 2! We now need our home base built with administrative and training facilities. Ideally a social club too. Paint the buildings red and (dark) blue and put up a statue of David Neitz out the front of it. I certainly won't be satisfied until our home base is finally built for the Melbourne Football Club.

Would love for Sam Weideman to seek out some help with his aggression and marking. I am sure there are people out there he could ask? Whether it is our own David Neitz, David Schwarz or Garry Lyon. Otherwise, he could even try Jonathan Brown (who I think offered his help previously?), Wayne Carey or Matthew Lloyd. I want Sam Weideman to succeed but he has definitely gotta change his attitude and become a lot meaner and attack the ball more.

Incredibly angry about tonight's performance. We need to do better than that! The Demons had their chances to win but made far too many mistakes. Not hungry enough attacking the ball either. I cannot help but call out Steven May's absolute howler of a kick which was one of the main factors why we lost the game to the Bulldogs. In the end the Bulldogs were more desperate and wanted to win the game more. The Demons players certainly need to pull their fingers out if they expect to be any chance against Fremantle next week in Perth.

This book sounds fantastic! I was very much hoping someone would write a book about our 57 year long drought! I am incredibly relieved the Premiership drought is now over. I will definitely look to purchase a copy of this book.

Wow! Just amazing! I am glad to be proven wrong. I didn't expect us to get past the milestone of 65,000+ Melbourne Demons members. This really is an absolutely fantastic achievement by the Melbourne Football Club. To think that 10 years ago we were lucky to get to 30,000 members and we were striving for 40,000 members which, at the time, seemed almost impossible. The late and great Jimmy Stynes would be incredibly proud! It brings a tear to my eye thinking about how far we have come after so many years of pain and misery. 🥲 We now need to have sustained success over the next few years with more Premierships so that we can compete with the bigger clubs and look to have 80,000+ Melbourne Demons members on a regular basis in the near future! 😎👍

Was hoping for 65,000+ members. But nevertheless 62,813 (so far) is an amazing effort for the Melbourne Football Club. Congratulations to all those loyal Melbourne Demons supporters have have signed up! As I mentioned previously, I remember the days when we were happy to get at least 20,000 members. How times have changed and it just goes to show that you not only need to win Premierships but you must have sustained success over many decades to compete with the likes of Collingwood, Richmond, Essendon, Carlton and Hawthorn. I am hopeful that we are on the right track to eventually have over 80,000+ members in the future. But it will take time and more Premierships!

Great to see Nathan Jones playing footy still. Especially for a Demons team!

Fantastic news! I definitely rate Daniel "Disco" Turner. Lets hope he gets another chance to play with the Demons AFL side some time in the near future.

What a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect this to happen this year with Clayton Oliver signing a long-term contract. It shows that Clarrie has a lot of faith in the Melbourne Demons and wants to be part of long-term success. Let's hope this signing inspires both Angus Brayshaw and Luke Jackson to follow suit with signing their contracts. Time to build a Demons Dynasty with multiple Premierships!

No changes unless there are injuries. Toby Bedford is starting to play with confidence and realising he can be an AFL player!
