40k is still going to happen but 45 is a target for next year after a good year this year!

45k is a target this year should we start 4-0 or 5-0. Suspect maybe 100 sign-ups on Saturday, and if we win, expect an additional few hundred against Freo and then Richmond, perhaps 1000.

Throw in bandwagoners jumping on board at that point.

If we start 5-0, we will hit 45k.

38,299 is only four more members in the two days since Tuesday's total (38,295)! Smallest daily rise all year and I hope not a bad omen!

I sense an announcement coming.  I reckon tomorrow or early next week 40K hit plus new premium sponsor.

Now that's the optimism that we need around here!

Old Dee, for almost half a century we have had blind optimism, hopefully we are entering into an era with our eyes wide open.

the 40K mark no question we will hit over the next 7 days, the Back of Jumper sponsor no idea but can only hope.

No doubt we have improved but still some way to go. as for the 40k mark, we need to win next weekend or IMO forget it before May.

Not a win but yesterday's game will help memberships. 

Full memberships are still excellent value as we have played only 1 Home game; 10 to go!  So more reason for people to sign up.

We will break last years, all time record of 39,211 THIS WEEK! 

That is 3.5 months earlier than last year.  Not bad, eh.

Sorry to do this dr. but there is only two days to go and we don't look like bridging the 40k mark.

[Pates 9,536]

If we'd got the chocolates against the cats I reckon we would've almost cleared 40k this week. 

We'll get there but I don't think it'll be a smashing over 40.

But we might just get the 363 needed to break last year's all time record of 39,211 this week (which was achieved at the end of July 2016).

I signed my 15month old up last week -the question I pose to you is , am I a [censored] of a father, or will I be teaching him some inherent valuable life lesson in resilience?

A win last saturday and we had a chance LH.

Sadly we lost and the doubters are thinking I knew it I want more proof.

I'm unclear whether you think you might be a bad father for signing him up or for waiting 15 months to do so. On balance, I'd say the 15 month delay is the greater concern.

Pitched battles in the family home with the geelong supporter wife mate... its been a war of attrition.

In that case I can understand the delay. And given that it only took you 15 months to wear her down so she finally accepted that the child was to be a Demon, I think you should be proud of yourself. You're not a bad father after all.

That's why you sign them up straight after birth while the wife is still in the hospital. Come back with a baby size Demons jumper and scarf. Deal done.

Kids need to build resilience Dan and what better way to do it than support the Dees.
