We have a Country/Interstate type membership that gives the members limited number of games for $110.00. I note that Hawthorn's cheapest ticket for their Tasmanian members is $60, which gives them general entry into ALL 4 games played at Aurora.

Hawthorn state that the AFL recognises these memberships & are therefore allocated in their overall membership tally of 50,000.

I think Melbourne should consider a $60/4 game ticket to make available to those members that either can't afford a standard ticket OR are unable to make it to all home games. Not sure what extra numbers this would attract, but the Dorks have over 6,000 Tasmanian members!!!

What do people think?

Does anyone know if our number includes the automatic renewels that are sent out by the club? Is the figure paid up members only, or does it include all the renewals they hope will turn into paid up members?

I received memebership cards for myself and two kids months ago, but only got around to filling them out and returning them today. Will the membership go up by 3 or are just 3 of the already counted members just been confirmed?

If true that represents a very good profile of members.

8,000 die hard Hawks is a fantastic contribution.

12,000 juniors augurs well for the future.

It would appear they have very few concessional adult ticket holders. I wonder what clip they get off 19,000 reserved ticket holders.

Well down Hawks. Hell they have an ugly jumper!!

Should do a special Promo for the 30,000th member, offer a free membership to the person that is the 30,000th member only if they sign up on Sunday, it would be plucking a person and hopefully we have 300 sign up but pick a kid how excited would the kid be to win.

Good idea drdrake. But the club would want to get onto it pronto. 30,000 mark might well be passed on Sunday.

30000 now a certainty. Well done to all involved.

Neil Mitchell rung by Colin Sylvia off air to join membership. Neil said Colin didn't know who he was nor did he know what 3AW was when he told him. They had an interesting chat. Neil said to Colin to tune in next morning and he would hear him interview the Prime Minister. Colin asked how John Howard was and then said oh no its that other guy.

My points are that a lot of footballers are not too bright and we should cut them some slack some of the time and that it is good to see the boys helping with membership sales.

PS. On a footy show the boys were shown singing the club song after the win and I have never seen our team sing so enthusiastically after a home and away win. If anyone doubts what winning means to players have a look at that vision.

Melbourne increased its lead over Sainters as they embark on the 30,000 mark this weekend.

Nth Melb overtook Western Bulldogs (Dogs haven't given update yet).

Contacted both Sydney and Fremantle membership departments for their figures. Fremantle won't let out they're figure until the cut-off I was told, but I managed to smooth talk an approx. figure out of them. ;)

* Are Sydney & Brissy figures a worry do you think for the AFL in terms of GC17 and WS18????

A disgrace I reckon that Mitchell isn't already a member. Is he still giving his money to the Bulldogs?

I'm so glad that this is going so well.....

Last nights TV seemed to be a success (well done to all involved on the phones and to Millsy on The Footy Show), and hopefully it will flow into today as well.

We're nearly at our desired destination (but not stopping hopefully), and I for one am so proud of this club and of its members :D !!!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
