36102


hoopla

Recommended Posts

Its been a while now since we heard anything about our 40,000 membership target. If the West Coast game didn't kill it, then I guess the Carlton game did.

Still it would be nice to use the reserved seat for the Collingwood game to push things up to 37500. 36102 (as it is today) sounds like a clear failure .... whereas 37500 sounds like a narrow miss. For the sake of the credibility of next year's target ( will it sit at 40000 or lift to 42500?), I'd like to see one last big promotion on the back of the Essendon game. The fact that there hasn't been one suggests that the club believes we've hit a ceiling...... until we can realistically promise finals'action

If A) Scully resigns B ) We make the 8 this year C) Mick Malthouse is our new coach I believe we can easily hit 42,500. Carn Dees!

B is unlikely and C won't happen.Can we increase it by 16% on the back of A only?

hoopla,

The club budgeted for 35,000 members for 2011. Clearly a failure.... :rolleyes: (We're now at 36,102 and an update is imminent because the tally has remain unchanged since last week) - nearly 3,000 up on last years tally.

Pre-season saw our tally consistently above last years tally throughout by 2,500-3,000 in terms of numbers. I think it was in March when Jimmy launched the target 40,000 campaign. (Season's launch ?). With consistently good form the club might have gone closer but it was always going to be a stretch. A few bad losses may have had an impact.

You will note that via the clubs website they began a "promotion" as well as at the Carlton & Essendon games for the 3 game memberships. It all depends on your definition of "big"...but it's a promotion nevertheless and a proactive sell point for more memberships.

There is your answer. [Psshhhh...puts out the fire] Credibility remains intact.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
