About the Ballarat Demons
Like MELBOURNEfc, we are always looking for new members. This year we are aiming to have 100 Demon supporters from the Ballarat area paid up and proudly supporting the team.
Joining our group is a great way to meet fellow fans, travel with them to all home games without the driving and parking hassles, attend our meetings to enjoy meeting special guests and help MELBOURNEfc all at the same time.
Adult membership, by donation, is $10 for the season, which includes an exclusive members’ only badge. If you are under 17 on April 1 this year, membership is the cost of the badge, $5.

Ballarat Demons Support MELBOUNRNE fc
In November last year, we were delighted to present the football department with a much needed piece of equipment- a portable training table purchased from Athlegen, a local manufacturer.
The presentation was made at the Members’ Information Night and was received by Chris Fagan on behalf of the players and training staff. He thanked the members and supporters who give their time and resources to help the Club and assured them that the table would be put to constant use.
Many of the players made a point of thanking us personally and it was wonderful to see how much they appreciate our support.
