2,800?

Wow, I would love to see a league-wide table at the moment.

Go the Dees!

    Ditto. Not 6 though. 5. :)

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

    Anything to [censored] off an Essendon supporter Queen, especially buying a Dees membership in the process!

    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?

    Getting all the members is essential but as important to get big numbers to games every week which I believe to be the biggest challenge.

    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.

    It's just life.

    I admire your optimism, but I think we're at least 6 years off that figure.

    Let's bookmark this and see where we end up

  • Quote

    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 signed myself up last week. Dad's going to take some convincing though..

    and signed my rabbit up for his third consecutive year. He's pumped!

    Nice work AFI - now you'll just need the tiny bunny jumper to fit him!

  • Quote

    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!

    I am signing up again today.

    Had to wait till payday but all ready to go. Got the cats in as well. Plus social club although that is overly optimistic at this point as i only have it for GF seat guarantee

    Awesome!

    We're killing North (3,200) at the moment. Although they don't have the 'member for life' category.

    Bulldogs were 10,000 last Monday.

    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.

  • Quote

    what do the membership cards look like?

    are they supposed to be new each year like it was or are they doing what PG and SH tried to start last year, where u use the same card?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
