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....

    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).

    • 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.

    • 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.
