IT IS NO COINCIDENCE that the words 'heart' and 'love' feature in our Melbourne Football Club Song.
‘Every heart beats true' for each and every supporter that holds a deep passion for the club, has ‘red and blue’ blood running through their veins. For the Melbourne faithful will say that this club is ‘the team we love’.
Any Melbourne supporter can point out a personal match highlight from games gone by and tell you why our great club’s existence is special and by far the best in the world.
As members don the red and blue attire each week, it defines our proud history, our culture and where we have come from.
It has been a personal honor of mine to form a tight and dedicated allegiance with the Melbourne Redlegs Social Club.
Through thick and thin, highs and lows, the rollercoaster ride has been an amazing experience.
Now is the time for all those who believe in our great club, to ‘Let Their Demon Out’ and support the club we love.
What is the True Redlegs Experience? The Redlegs Social Club was one of the first membership packages formed at the club.
It boasts a large membership base, dedicated reserved seating and the most important of features - feeling part of the club.
Redlegs patrons are welcomed to access The Lindsay Hassett Room and Medallist Bar for all beverage and food needs, share a meal with other members, listen to the half-time members address from club board members, or attend the occasionally after-match function.
What better an opportunity than to hear how YOUR club is going!
After-match functions feature designated Melbourne Football Club players and special guest speakers.
This is prime opportunity to feel a sense of belonging and make the most out of your membership with the club.
The support for the players in the Redlegs area during the match is spine tingling.
The ‘Melbourne’ chant goes up around the stadium after every goal as the Redlegs join as one, united in their quest to help their team get across the line.
The passion and dedication from the Redlegs stand is unanimous.
The Redlegs area is a sea of red and blue on match days. Supporters are decked out in old and new attire.
Some with 80s style duffle coats, others sporting the club’s prestigious heritage jumper.
We are a very proud bunch, a culture Demon supporters have been proud to display. We are the mighty red and blue.
Forming an allegiance such as this one with the Redlegs is like none other, for being able to be part of the Redlegs Social Club is a true privilege.
In a way, the Redlegs is its very own ‘Demon Heartland’, it is a place where members bring belief in their team; it’s a game we can win - no matter what the circumstance.
Come and enjoy the amazing visual experience at football’s Mecca - the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), home to the Demons since 1858.
Over time, we have witnessed generations of highlights, Legends wearing the jumper with pride and supporters wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
Our history is rich, our culture vintage, as we all want to see our club’s existence prosper further for generations to come.
Nothing else matters at Melbourne but ‘Passion’ and ‘Belief’.
