The club has asked Nineteen (Geoff Sowden) and Judee of Demonology to assemble a team to carry out a brief telephone campaign to help us get past the magic 30,000 members mark.

Volunteers are urgently required for Mondays & Wednesday evenings of 27 & 29 April and 4 & 6 May 2009. The campaign is only for the next fortnight and if you can help - even on one night - it would be greatly appreciated.

The venue is at the Melbourne Football Club offices in the Southern Stand, MCG from 6.00pm to 8.00 pm with parking available underneath.

PLEASE respond here (to stimulate others) & you can get to Geoff directly on 0425 832 522 or [email protected].

    I'd love to do it. I've been looking for a way to help out the club like this, even if it is something small.

    I'm working the nights of the 27th & 29th -- not sure about the 4th & the 6th though.

    If I have either or both of these off work I'll definitely come down and do it.

    Won't be able to let you know for a week though. Wish I could help more.

    Count me in. I am actually working in a call center at present (get me outta there...) so would be more than happy to get out of the office early and help out the Dees.

    Can i nominate Yze Magic? Because if he is anywhere near as persistent and as he is about his hate for Cameron Bruce he will probably sell hundreds of memberships!

    How much would I be paid for this?

    HaHa! That's Good. I am working night shift so i cannot help out, (would be honoured to work from the MFC offices) but would love to know the rubbing total.

    Good luck to all.

    Think you will just have to wait for the official announcement ... sorry hate to make an "unofficial statement" ;):rolleyes:

    We had a great night ... huge thanks to all who joined up tonight. I really enjoyed myself.

    Should mention it was an absolute positive buzz talking to fellow Melbourne members "asking them to join up"

    Now dont forget the "Dob In a Demon" promotion ... plenty work still needs to be done.

    A milestone night as the club burst through the 30K mark at about 7.30pm.

    (Hopefully its a one way trip.)

    Thanks to tonight's attendees of Peter, Judith (No2), Sean, Bruce, Bill, Michael, Anna, Daniel & Geoff D.

    The latter two worked away at the "Dob in a Demon" responses & were getting just over 10% immediate sign ups, plus many considering. Hard Yakka. Good results.

    Alias Ken Albiston signed up a family that had knocked back a Michael Newton call from the recent players ring around. They'd slipped through MN's hands, but were not quick enough for our Kenny.

    This was at 7.30pm & is formally accredited with breaking the 30 banner.

    Irish Michael got the BOG for the night, but they kept saying "Sure Jimmeeee" as they signed up.

    Ten more irish accents on phones & we could have a go at the big 40!!!

    50% of volunteers are first timers, & a special thanks to them.

    Next week is the last week.

    Can you assist?

    Fantastic, well done to all, go Demons!

    Now, let's push on to 31,000. My predicted total of 31,484 is still looking good. :rolleyes:

    Oh the irony! :D

    Great job everyone and a brilliant result to get to 30,000 well before the cut-off date.

    I actually just phoned 3AW to try and put out a challenge to Neil Mitchell ... I read his comments in the newspaper re Colin Sylvia.

    IMHO .. if he wants to have a go it one of our boys maybe he should try it himself. I did it for the first time last night and its not easy ... but it is great fun.

    Neils a Melbourne supporter ... so I'm I. Lets both do our bit to get this club back to where we should be.

    So Neil ... if your prepared to give it a go ... I'm prepared to do it again. You pick your night ... Monday or Wednesday I dont mind.

    Maybe we can have a bottle of Scotch on who can get the most sign-ups.

    Lets just hope they phone me back.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
