    Got mine this arvo. Geez, the merchandise shop is in a nightmare of a position. I don't use credit cards so I had to go in person but it's not a place I would head to if I didn't have to.

    Just one of the issues MFC have with merchandising!

    Hopefully, this will be rectified when we move back under the umbrella of the MCC.

    Came across this on BigFooty which shows our unique situation.

    Interesting to see the latest breakdown of AFL clubs supported by MCC members published in the November MCC Newsletter

    Melbourne 21%

    Essendon 13%

    Collingwood 11%

    Carlton 9%

    Hawthorn 8%

    Richmond7%

    Geelong 7%

    St Kilda 5%

    Kangaroos 3%

    Sydney 2% maybe 3%

    Western Bulldogs 2%maybe 3%

    Brisbane 2%

    No club listed 8%

    ----------------- = 98% or close to 100%

    West Coast

    Adelaide

    Port Adelaide

    Fremantle fewer than 1% each and in total

    With the cost of membership ranging roughly from $400-600 a year, you can understand why MCC Demons fans don't chip in that extra cost to cover a full membership. They already get what they pay for in their regular MCC membership and that's why the move back into the MCC is important.

    If we can tap into that well of Dees fans who are members then automatically our membership would increase from our level of about 29,000 to high 30's or even low 40's. We have to offer something unique to these supporters to give them incentive to part with more cash and i feel that the the Club when they come back into the fold offer a $100 MCC only membership which would include things like:

    An MCC memebrs only night with the club. Meet the players etc.

    A special MCC/MFC pin or tie.

    Just some ideas for the future. I have more but the company boss is in town so it's time to minimise my screen!

    Go Dees!!!

    30k by monday?

    I wonder how many will sign up on Sunday. If we have a couple of early wins does any one think we're a chance for 35k?

    That is a awesome effort, gratz to all involved and to the members getting themselves signed up early!!!!!

    it is ist it :) would not really have dared to dream we would be this far down the path. We're on the road back people :) Certainly a continous journey still fraught with potholes etc but you can sense the Red and Blue is becoming a believable entity again.

    A journey of a thousand miles as they say....... but we are way past the first steps..and were gaining momentum.

    I have the sneaking suspicion our numbers are more sustainable as well as say compared the Dogs and Roos

    Isn't it, they are both struggling for members at the top of their game. What happens when some leaner times come. Nth is the biggest concern it seems like as a club they are going backwards even though they have been reasonable successful in the last few years. Lets hope they can rally like we have in the darker times coming

    I don't think 30K by monday. Maybe close to 28K?

    I would have thought around 32K more likely. I would be pleasantly surprised with the club reaching 35K.

    Lets be Honest, Their is only room for one Melbourne in this city. North Melbourne should have moved to the Gold Coast. Call me a heartless Bastard if you wish but within 5 years that club will be on its knees. If they cannot generate a strong membership with Brayshaw at the Top they are staring at oblivion. The Bulldogs are a little better off, but only just.

    We the MFC must be aware of all this. Our connection with the MCC will be a major bonus, but the Club must be Prudent & well run. I Hope Mr Schwabb can start this situation rolling.

    How a Melbourne supporter could advocate the relocation or extinction of another football club is beyond me.

    I would never ever wish this sort of thing on any club... except Carlton, who as far as I'm concerned should be wiped off the face of the planet.

    Whether or not North can continue to exist in this current environment, I'm not sure, but I hope they do.

    Knowing what it feels like to have your own club under threat, I can't imagine how hard it must be for North supporters, who despite relatively recent successes are still struggling for members and money.

    I also refuse to believe that our future existence depends on the failure of other clubs.

    I echo your sentiments too Jaded, especially about Carltank, although if the bullies went I would not care, don't like them either!

  • Quote

    Absolutely Jaded, we should all back all clubs to remain as they are.

    The game has changed enough throughout it's history, but to see anymore Victorian clubs go would be heartbreaking.

    Our Future does not depend on the Failures of others- i didn't say that. All i said is i do not think North will survive within 5 years. They may regret that they did not relocate at all, or else they will leave the building as North Melbourne, or they will prove me wrong & thrive but i seriously doubt it.

    I don't Hate North i just don't think they will survive. Last year they received a bucket load of sympathy Memberships. This year the reality of the supporter base kicks in.

    Don't Forget 2 years ago only 25,000 rolled up to a Final that the Kangas played in. That is unsustainable.

    I still say their is Room for only one melbourne in this city.

    Which is worse-To see North Wither & die like a dead Tree or Relocate?? 5 year reality check. 9 Teams will not Survive in this city unless some are on welfare & that will never bring a flag.

    I Think it would be more heartbreaking to see North end up like Fitzroy. The Office running from a Hotel.

    Thank God Jim Stynes Came along or it would have been us. We were that close.

    Great time to jump on board.. pulling around 500 members each update,which i'm assuming would be daily... we have more members now than any time in the past, excluding last year and the year before, and those were completed membership totals for the whole year!

    Almost 10,000 members up on ten years ago.

    As at today, North have 23,577 members, which is not too bad at this time of the year.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
