I signed up for the $25 Age subscription (which is a great deal), which stated that we would receive Fri, Sat, Sun, Monday's Age newspapers for all of 2009.

The first one (Friday 2nd Jan) didn't arrive so I called up the Age subscription people - it turns out that they don't have my address on file as the MFC has shut down over xmas-new year and hasn't yet sent across all the information. This may be understandable if I signed up for my membership in late December but I renewed in early November and received a call from the club just after to confirm the address details specifically for the newspaper delivery.

Supposedly it should come through around the 16th Jan - which is six papers I'm missing out on. Not the biggest concern in the world but you worry that if they can't organise a newspaper subscription how can they run a footy club.

    Our is delivered by the local newsagent, can you take it up with them in the interim? It may be as easy as showing them some ID or printed receipt of purchase and you're all good. Otherwise maybe it hasn't formerly commenced yet and your 52 weeks will will end later cos it started later

    good luck

    I have already been receiving mine for the last 4 weeks. Had no problems. Sounds strange. But also, I don't think The Age have anything to do with delivery. It would be your local newsagent. I may be wrong, but I think that's generally how it works.

    Not the best, but don't panic, I'm sure you will get your 52 weeks worth one it gets started.

    Mine started on Dec 18, and I re-signed mid october from memory

    It's done by the local newsagents (who I assume have a list handed to them by The Age).

    The first few I had kept getting nicked, I went in to ask if they could throw the papers further down the drive and he said no worries, and also to pick up a copy of the day's paper.

    It's a great initiative and will save you money in the long run anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just ask the newsagents

    A quick question on this, I signed up for it, got my first paper today, but when I signed up I didnt enter my membership number (stoopid computer wouldnt load the field), so I was wondering how they identified I was a member, does anyone know?

    How much did they charge your credit card?

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
