Yeah the Bunnies have done really well both in sponsorships (which Russell helps with inordinately) and memberships. They have built a great community program up and it is now up and running, predominantly for Aboriginal and inner city kids (which are usually lower income) and this generates enormous good will, as it should, and therefore income.

Oh you're right my friend, but I would miss the beach and the sun and that kind of stuff ;):P !!!

Last time I checked we're in dire need of rain (for the last 10 years), yet you've had plenty of it up there.....any chance we can swap the weather and let us have all the rain?? :D

    Another 530 joined up yesterday, which is apparently a club record, plus we beat Collingwood (which is always a handy bonus :D)

    We're now sitting on 27,128. Not long to go now!

    http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsart...05/default.aspx

    Also it was great to see players getting involved. Both Belly and Blease (who was busy sending a text ;)) were standing at the scarf table when we went up to collect our scarves, which I thought was a nice touch.

    Jack Watts. I feel we may need another win this year as well

    27,128 is a very good total. It's great they we are a head of some other clubs. If somehow we manage to beat the pies i'm sure it will go up even more. Keep it up

    I had a quick chat to Stef when I was buying my membership. It was great by the club to have the players there, accessable... Even if like Stef, they were kind of shy...

    Tell me something Fellow Fanatics. I had Famly issues on sunday & could not get to the game (plus all cabs were in albert park!) Out of the 28,000 people at the game what was the crowd Ratio Us & them?

  • Quote

    If there were 10,000 Roos fans there I'd be very surprised, very.

    Loads of kids there too!

    Judging by the boos or cheers when free kicks were awarded - I would say significantly more us than them!

    This is why i say North Cannot Survive more than 5 years. Beautiful Day Round 1 Last Year top 4. Wayne Carey Comes Home....etc etc & they still pull less than 10,000. to the 'G

    That is pathetic & they must be concerned. It's a major concern.

    2 new clubs in 2 years makes it that much harder to win a flag.

    They made the Finals last year & cannot get anyone to the Home of Football on a cracker sunny day. Bye Bye North, off to TEAC oval time.

    While there were long and deep queues at the MFC membership tents at Gate 3 or 4, you could walk right up to the NM desk and buy a membership straight away.

    I reckon their future is dim and has always been so despite some people getting carried away with a one year membership spike.

    Decisions have to be made because what are there attendances going to be like on a cold wet Day?? Elsternwick Park gets more people than North.

    We were lucky Stynesy & co seems to have given us the new lease. But for North it looks Bleak. We should have beaten them too!! Grrrr

    I think thats pretty rich mate.

    I mean lets face it, MFC really isnt that far behind.

    MFC just got great new sponsors, got Jack Watts, heaps of debuts, reducing the debt, etc etc and we couldn't even pull 30,000 to the G, R1 on a beautiful day.

    The Kangas have 24K odd members, and thats pretty much all they have!!!

    I think were the ones that should be a little concerned.

    c'mon guys...lets get ourselves out of debt before we start to point the finger.

    even though we had more than the roos, we wouldve hoped for more than mebourne supporters at the G than that. 28,000 is embaressing for two victorian clubs.

    Hey They Made Top 4 Last year-we got the spoon & they cannot pull a crowd. WHY & how are they going to change it $ 40+- Mill goes through an AFL club per year now.

    I am not saying we are in the clear but North are in trouble.

    If they ever bottom out they won't come back.

    Not when a 100,000 people were watching an International Grand Prix at 5pm it wasn't. I thought we did alright. The AFL gave that to us on purpose.

    It was a terrible effort from the Roos fans yesterday, we easily out numbered and that's saying something. Also noticed that the cheersquad was back where it belonged on the wing, and behind the goals is a different membership group? Looked a hell of a lot better.

  • Quote

    North Melbourne supporters were dwarfed by Melbourne supporters on Sunday. Not just outnumbered, but comprehensively dwarfed. By Melbourne supporters. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that I have never been to a game in Melbourne, against a Victorian side, where we so clearly outnumbered opposition supporters. Sydney draw larger crowds than that in Victoria, and even Brisbane arent that far behind when they're playing well. It was sick.

    I have a soft spot for North Melbourne for reasons I wont bother going into, and genuinely want them to survive, but Sunday was an ominous sign.

    • 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?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
