I think we will get up to 32,000 by the membership cut off sales in sometime in June. C`mon Dees keep trying and getting past 30,000 every year now.

    I must admit I paid the ultimate sacrifice. I was a member at the start of the year but to get my fiance (who's a saints fan) to also take one out I had to take a saints membership out also. I figured it was worth it, the more members the better!

    You are a bloke. What you say should go, no compromises.

    Woman were gifted with the fine art of cooking skills, we were gifted with the art of hunting. Hunt down more members fellas. Woman us warriors will get tired and need good food ready when we get back from the hunt.

    Never do that again. Buy a second Melbourne Membership if you must spend more. We are The Demons-the opposite of Saints.

    I want a flag before those losers get one!

    Having never dated a Melbourne supporter, I've always tried to make deals with boyfriends where they buy a Melbourne membership and I buy a membership for their chosen club. The trick here is, make sure they buy the Melbourne membership first, then conveniently forget to purchase that Essendon/Port/Sydney membership you promised you'll get ;)

    I have proudly supplied our club with extra memberships over the years, but have never spent a cent helping any other club.

    Having said that, I would definitely think about holding my end of the bargain for a Dogs or North supporter.

    I dated a mad Collingwood supporter once. It's true.

    Relationships can be difficult enough without bringing football into it.

    I used to think that it would be better dating someone who didn't care about football, as opposed to various Essendon, Port, Sydney, Carlton, Richmond or Collingwood supporters, until I dated a guy who didn't know a thing about football and would look at me with a dumbfounded look everytime I mentioned anything football related (which is quite often).

    What the hell are you meant to talk to these football virgins about? :lol:

    Well we've reached record membership so you must really be putting in the hard yards :lol:

    Hmmm... do I take credit for this and discredit my reputation, or do I just move right along...? :unsure::P

    Do you apply this standard to other areas of your relationships?

    Perhaps you two could solve each others membership issues and hook up.... :lol:

    It would be a win-win-win. Go Dees!

    No, just the most important area.... football rivalry ;)

    Sorry to be late, but I'm here now......

    Don't think I could be of much assistance though, I've never dated a Demon supporter, but my excuse is that I live in Sydney and to even find one is a monumental achienvement!!!

    That being said we will not judge Jaded for her year with a Port man, because we all have skeletons we would rather keep hidden ;) :D !!!

    But I will help her out in that I have managed a membership or two for the MFC over the years with that same trade off, generally for a Swans membership (which is really the only way I get to see live AFL up here anyway so it really is a kind of win win), or for a league team (memberships of which no-one really don't cares about, and watching is fine) or the Waratahs (who I love and support anyway).

    I can handle the opposition supporter that can be fun ( ;) ), just not the guy who doesn't love sport at all.......

    Although the sqabble (spoken from sad experience) for the remote to watch the footy can reverse all sorts of gender cliches :P !!!

    So true.

    It's ironic when you want to go to the footy, and your other half wants to go out partying with his friends... or you want to watch replays on Foxtel and he wants to watch some renovation show <_< :wacko:

    The smart ones learn very quickly that football comes first, and they come a distant second, and learn to adapt. The dumb ones get given their marching orders :lol:

    (The Port supporter was bad, but the rivalries I had going with the Essendon supporter took the cake. We actually banned ourselves from going to watch each others' teams play in the end).

    What's 31,484?

    Weren't you guessing mid 32000s?

    This must be another record year for total memberships sold? Or at least heading that way.

    31,484 was my estimated guess. Well documented.

    I hope we can knock off the Saints, a new scalp would be nice.

  • Quote

    We'd do very well to reach 31,000 I think.

    Saints have a new membership campaign this, combined with how well they're going, should see them move past us soon.

    We should be very proud of our efforts coming off a wooden spoon year, especially compared to other finalists.

    North's membership looks pretty good too, considering last year's 32,000 is regarded as being "fake"

    As a guy, I'm used to dating women who have no interest in football or sport in general. But most girls I've dated tend to give up whatever token football allegience they might have and hope for the best for the Demons, only because they recognise how much it means to me.

    What I have had trouble with are the girls who see football as a rival for my attention (and/or affection) and as a result resent it. Never did work out well with that type.

    But now I am married to a woman who used to go for Essendon but knew nothing about them, only favouring them because she liked their colours, and never having been to a game in her life.

    I am happy to say however that she is now a paid up Melbourne member.

    She still doesn't go to games though, preferring to stay home and follow the scores on the radio or TV. But she knows most of the players. (I think she has a thing for Brad Miller.) And she gets excited. When Addam Maric kicked that goal from 50 on Sunday she screamed 'Go little Addam!!'.

    So all in all, I've done well. :D

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
