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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
