I would imagine that the recent trend of rising membership figures at the MFC might take a hit in 2012 given the year we have had, promising much and delivering little.

The last few NAB Cup's have been dominated by teams that have gone deep in the home and away finals. That aside.

Melbourne's attitude in recent years has been to give the new kids a taste in the pre-season comp. I posit that this year, we need to give the pre-season comp a serious shake because:

1) the club needs to generate some positivity amongst the membership base - give cause for marginals and potential newbies reason to sign - it should provide a good early kick to the membership tally early when in the past the game day rallying generally begins after some initial early season success on or after round 1,

2) the club can definitely do with the (albeit small) financial rewards attached to winning or placing in the NAB Cup,

3) any silverware is always a good start to the year particularly since our cabinets haven't been opened for a while.

Thoughts?
