Ditto. Not 6 though. 5. :)

Only four in my family, and I am sure my Essendon supporting brother will be less than impressed :P !!!

According to their website, North are sitting on 2,800.

Combine a poor 2008 finish and the loss of sympathisers and I doubt they'll crack 30,000 next year.

bloody hell I hope they haven't updated that in a while - you don't want to have a quarter of anyone's membership let alone OUR membership!

anyone have any idea of figures for other clubs at this stage?

we'd probably be up there right now

we started a fair bit earlier than most clubs

and i may be wrong here, but i believe that the loyal melbourne supporters (most of the ones that have probably paid up already) are just as loyal as any other supporters and are quick to jump on board (hence our early success); however, in short time, is when the bigger will really start to take over us in membership, as our daily membership purchases start to decrease

having said that, i predict this year we will get more members than both doggies and roos

If we get to halfway by Christmas (15,000), that would be a great achievement.

So go buy anyone you know and love (or hate, depending on who they barrack for) a Melbourne membership for Christmas/Hannukah/New Year

We desperately need to achieve 30,000 this year, and anything beyond that, especially given the current global economic crisis, will be a massive bonus.

If we get more than 30,000 members, which I think we will, we'll brain the doggies and roos. We might even catch and pass the saints.

edit: If we bookmark this, my guess for the final membership total is 31,565.

We really need to aim for 35,000.

If we all make an effort to sign up ASAP then the Club will be able to focus its efforts on a smaller than usual balance that are slow in renewing and on new members.

Thinking positively there is much more excitement about the Dees than at this time last year so lets go for 35,000!

I actually bought him an infant one at the start of last year. It's a little bit big for him, but it's always draped over his hutch.

He's a passionate little fella!

just a random membership qn: Last year we were told our actual membership cards would be "reusable" every year (which i thought was stupid). Have they decided to persist with this format or are they issuing new cards this year?

You should have received your new card with your 2009 renewal notice.

Well at least I did.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
