Hi all,

I don't post very often any more but anything to do with my little man brings me out.

Demon_jacob received his little demon membership last night. Well done MFC, he loves it!! He had the beanie (or as he calls it, meanie) on first thing this morning, and even wanted the scarf too. The mini scarf is a great idea.

He's not 2yo yet but his membership says 3 years membership. Not a bad effort. Might even have to attend his first game next year.

Keep up the great work membership department.

I'm trying to upload a picture. Anyone know why its not working?

The Mini Scarf is great, my daughter ran up to her Nana who is trying to convert her to the Kangaroos wearing the Scarf and put it around her neck. It was like holy water on a vampire.

I take it 'Nana' is your mother in law ;)

I am a MFC "tragic" living in Adelaide (and am making my first post). I have a 3yo son, who was signed up on the day of his birth as a MFC and a Norwood FC member by me, and an Adelaide FC member by his grandfather. My son happened to be in a humidicrib at the time. My wife questioned my priorities but I'm sure that all Forum members would agree that I was right. I do not want to "impose" the Demons on my son living in Adelaide. I hope that he makes the right choice between the Demons and Crows (Port not being an option compatible with life in our household).

Anyway, I was about to "blast" MFC for not supporting and encouraging their junior members. The Crows sent a parcel with a football, a trucker cap, an iPod "sock" and other stuff within 2-3 days of paying his membership this year. Nothing had arrived from MFC. I could see that I was losing the battle. Then, two nights ago, a parcel arrived from MFC containing a soft footy, a high-quality cap, a calendar, stickers and other stuff. My son was over-joyed. The MFC parcel easily "beat" the Crows offering.

Despite the MFC's financial situation, I believe that we must "break even" or even make a small loss on our junior memberships by offering these sorts of enducements. We must win the "hearts and minds" of the next generation of "tragics" that will hopefully include my son. I am perhaps in the ideal position to view what a wealthy club like the Crows can offer. Well done to the MFC administration for competing (and winning) on this year's junior membership package! Apart from a premiership, I think that it is probably the most important "competition" in which MFC is invloved.

Thanks for the good news story Norwood Redleg. I'm not sure what profit / loss the club is making on the "little devil" membership but one thing it does do is illustrate to the AFL that there is a new generation of supporter coming through.

Qouting Norwood and giving no reply...my apologies.

What I was going to say was let the club know. Send it an email at the least, send a photo of your son (and good health to him) or encourage it in some other way. This is an initiative that needs encouragement.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
