Didn't renew...... sorry......

Wasn't about the money, but was about dragging a 8 and 6 year old to games they know we are going to lose. It's just not fair on them...... AND I'm not spending money on something they won't use

That's ok, I have three memberships I won't use.

So a few of us can pick up the slack.

Please use more exclamation marks in future when making a point.

I can amuse myself. This is one such instance.

If its not about the money see it as a future investment. Then when we win you say i was part of the club when they needed me most. I take my 2 kids sometimes but they are 3 and 5 and i get them a $50 membership since they were born because i love the MFC and so do they.And we might beat GC and GWS so take them to that.

35k passed.

(Shaking head at Old Dee for once saying we won't get to 30k)

You won that one rpfc.

But wait!

A new prediction if the current form continues we will struggle with 25 000 in 2013.

What do you think rpfc what is your early prediction?

Unlike you mate I did not think I would draw you out.

Pity we don't play as agressively as you predict rpfc.

It is in the diary, looking forward to 2013

Is this OD 'looking forward' to something?! Or are you using the saying as a description of the linear 'forward' movement of time?

I've also wondered how many members will stick fat next year if things continue as they are Old Dee

In Round 1 against Brisbane it seemed like every single members was there and in full voice.. against Carlton on the weekend (admittedly an away game) there was hardly a Demon fan in sight and apart from the efforts of the cheer squad (and MCC) our goals were greeted in silence.

I found a handful of fellow Demons to sit near in the top deck of the Northern Stand on Saturday but I looked around and couldn't see a single other Melbourne supporter in the stand.

If we finish bottom 2 this year, I reckon we'll really struggle to increase numbers for next year. We've been battling in the lower rungs for too long now, only wins on the board will revitalise the supporters out there.

Other than wins, I guess a couple of really good trades at season's end might create some hope for round 1 2013.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say, I haven't been to a game since the St.Kilda game.

I have watched the games on Foxtel,but usually end up turning it off by half time.

The Game plan has us hamstrung and we don't know how to attack.

Unless things improve dramatically, I will not be renewing my membership next year.

A "Demon for life" they have just about sucked the last bit of enthusiasm out of me.

Having Foxtel and a newborn have stopped me going to away games but membership is something that is automatically bought without question.

Plenty of Dees in the MCC reserve - probably outnumbered the Blues in there.

Greg Baum mentioned the big red and blue turnout in his match report.

Maybe try another part of the 'G.

"linear forward movement of time"? Einstein would be shaking in his grave rpfc

I would love for time to wrap around on itself - I would go back and kill Hitler and help the Dees with the draft...

But I just don't think it's the way it is...

Here's what you do:

1. Watch the first quarter.

2. Drink in the bar for the final three quarters.

3. Hang out with Richmond supporters.

Myself, my 4 year old who is still on board and even my 6 year old who now follows the filth all get memberships yearly. I think the 6 year old will come back on board once the tie turns

That's the beauty of the MCC for dees supporters, when the going gets tough you can sadly retreat to the Frank grey and watch whatever other game is on and chat to friends. The day isn't a total loss that way.

It may seem sad to some, but it means you keep turning up each week despite the quality of the contest.

And your sanity is preserved Junior

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
