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

Nice one Einstein!! Pretty sure my wife fancies Brad as well!! And I fancy Brad`s Missus ;)

    Good to see the doggies getting a few members.

    Saints are now 30,368.

    They only have that many??? I thought they regularly (I don't know how, with the lack of success they've had down there) got 35,000+. Apparently, I was wrong.

    Go the dees though! Just imagine if we were on top, 7 straight...we'd have at least 35,000 then. ;)

    Dob in a Demon:

    One good thing: I dobbed in the future Brother in Law, didn't answer his phone, they then sent him a follow up letter - good to see.

    Not the best thing: After the drama of dobbing in the fiancee and her using my card, we noted it only cost $84, we assumed it'd been a cheap deal because of being referred. Got it yesterday, only admits to 3 games, we would've been willing to pay more.

    Great idea though, our numbers are showing because of it too

    I hope after today's showing we can get a few hundred more people on board.

    Walked past the marquee near light tower 2 where they were signing quite a few 1 hour prior to game. I think 31000 plus looks good.

    No doubt we can get to 31K.

    That's a shame - was this via a phone call?

    Either way it should have been explained - not only for the benefit of you and the fiancee, but for the benefit of the Club. It's far better to sign up people on the higher value membership products if we can.

    yes, definitely troubling.

    Anyway, just signed up another premium MCC/MCG membership, so add another to that tally.

    Birthday presents have been an easy decision this year.. albeit expensive

    With that number of members we should never be in a position where we have to write out cheques for the pleasure of playing at our home ground.

    Get down to the game people!

    I must say 28,000 odd was disappointing on Saturday at the G. I thought supporters of both clubs were not well represented. The weather was ok too.

    I was expecting at least 35,000.

    3 hours before the game it was raining heavy down on the Mornington peninsula ( not sure about everywhere else ) This may have caused some people to stay home and watch the game on foxtel. BTW it was bloody cold at the game.

    In a few years time when we are sitting atop with 8 zip next to our name, our membership tally will be way above 45,000. That is a really poor figure for the Saints considering the way they are going.

    Maybe the supporters are not Happy to be at Etihad Airlines Stadium after all

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
