I just purchased my new membership. The membership consultant Bernard was very helpful. I asked him how many members the club currently has and he said its sitting just on 16,000.

Its really great to see the club has passed the 15,0000 target it was looking for!

Good Stuff demon85, your joining at a really exciting time!

35,000+ without even breaking into a sweat. I might have to up my original prediction of 38,000+ Wouldn't it be great if like Carlton we won the preseason comp.

Roost It, 38,000 ? I doubt that very much. I will stick to my prediction earlier, 31,565.

If we win a few early I agree 35k+ is a real chance. If we start similar to last year 30k will be closer. Very important to have a good NAB cub game even if we loose. It has to be a close game.

Agree HT. 31-32k would be a great result, any more fantastic. I believe that would easily be our record.

Anyway you can add 4 more as I am about to renew for my family as soon as I finish this post.

More often than not, in NAB Cup games upsets occur. I doubt Hawthorn will be fielding a full strong list in Rd 1 of the NAB cup. Melbourne on the other hand will want to present well for its fans and its "new sponsors/partnerships". An earlier start to the pre-season and good preparation IMO will ensure Melbourne puts in a strong list for their opener. I think it will be close, and it would not surprise me at all if the Dees come up trumps over the Hawks.

HT. I'll wager you 1 Demon Heartland membership we get over 35,000 members in 2009. Now there's a bet no good Demon can lose!

haha. Good stuff. Alright, we're on. We'll see June 30, 2009. The Mfc will be the winner! I like it.

edit: - And just to show you how confident my predicted tally of 31,565 is, if I get 'within' 500 either way (500 less or 500 more of 'MY' predicted tally), I'll buy another 2 x Demon Heartland memberships for 2010. (ie. between 31,065>32,065)

Hope you are right. I am sick of watching us play our NAB cup game on TV, lose and then never see them until the season proper because they play challenge matches in Nar Nar Goon or Wagga Wagga.

Have I told you I hate the AFL, lately?

Have they kept with the Gold, silver and bronze idea they started last year?

I hope so because I am due for a gold one for 2009.

yes they have

the cards look fairly similar in fact with the logo in the bottom right hand corner but they have a big demon logo on a diagnal...

i like them

however, every year, everybody will get new cards, they are not continuing the renew thing cos the system they did it on last time was faulty

Thats four more members, my family have renewed. Thrown in a prospective new member as well.

Good stuff. I put my family in too, with a new addition this time (7 week old son).

Back to the NAB Cup, Luke Hodge may be in doubt for NAB Cup, but they're expecting him to be available mid- NAB Cup (they didn't even say if they're still in it - they're cocky aren't they!: -

Campbell and Croad also a chance to miss the opening of the NAB.

Pre-Season delay for Hodge

Last year we played at Geelong, Cranbourne and Ballarat - all within an easy drive from the 'G.

Anyway, I support having teams play in regional centres etc. You're unhappy about missing out on a few NAB challenge games - imagine how you'd go living out there ;p

Shouldn't I buy them if your that accurate? I'll tell you what I buy 2 more if we get to 38,000 members.One thing everyone needs to remember is that we ned these memberships to be ongoing.

I agree, tell you what, it's a real conspiracy theory of mine this NAB fixturing. It seems the AFL actually WANT us to get off on a dampener as this is the second year in a row playing the reigning premiers away from home - bear in mind the odds of that just happening naturally are 900 to one.

I'll be buying my unemployed friend his first membership, in the hope that once he gets a steady paycheck he will continue it and we will have one more member for life.

Great idea mate!!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
