This years membership record at 31508 is an incredible achievement for so many reasons but we cant rest on our laurels and continue the mutual warm and fuzzy back slapping ad infinitum we have to continue to grow the club and get even more into the paying fold.

I dont think 35000 for 2010 is unachievable. Personally I have found the monthly direct debit method of paying the club a very handy method. SO too it seems many others and if you know of anyone , or if indeed it woulod be the difference between your god sleves retaining membership of forgoing it then this is a great alternative to the larger once off payment especially as we're often somewhat poorer after Christmas.

A good ploy by the club is that should you have chosen this payment method for 2009 then it will just roll over into 2010 unles yo either tell them to stop by opting out ( and you have to do it ) or my upgrading. Point is you have to cancel..they dont have to chase. Hopefully this will result in retaing a few thousand who might not have coninued on for what ever reasons.

I dont think for manyof us that we have genuinely sen so much promise before a season and having it based on realistic expectations instead of lind biased hope.

So after the finals...and as the hype of trade and draft weeks build lets see if we cant convince a few more to join our bandwagon.

Christmas is coming ..lol.. get in quick

I have brought this up before and I am yet to get some sort of answer: -

But why does the Official Record still have our official membership tally for the 2008 season as 32,600?

Was this because memberships were purchased after cut-off point last year?

I was certain the tally was 29K-something. Because this year (2009) was the first time we had cracked the 30,000 barrier.

Puzzling....

Well said 'bub. Time to more to join us, for what promises to be an exciting journey right up to the summit!!

Because they're pathetic. They also had us down for the wooden spoon this year before we'd 'won' it, and they've missed out on our 1997 wooden spoon (not such a bad thing, but a mistake nonetheless).

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
