The Age reports today that former Premier John Cain, raised in a Fitzroy household, has bought a Demons membership because he wants to support battling clubs.

(Remember how he fought to keep the Grand Final at the MCG? Obviously takes his footy seriously)

I think it's fantastic that he buys a membership to support us. Sad that he feels he has to.

He's a gentleman. And a Humanitarian.

Hope he put it on auto-renew.

I'm not going to get worried until Joan Kirner signs up.

Former Fitzroy fans are worth their salt, crave success, and are familiar with football hardship.

So they'll fit in nicely at the MFC...

Welcome aboard John Cain

We probably have about 10,000 of these "humanitarian" types propping up our membership numbers............

really, but I thought this thread was about Him. John Cain... Nice fella.

What can I say about this bloke that won't get me suspended from here?

Let's just put it this way, I'm happy to see his money. I hope to Christ that he is not in any other way involved in the Football Club.

Nb. Hope you're proud of me RR - you should've seen what I originally tried to type before the electronic device you had installed on my keyboard kept shocking my fingers when I kept trying to hit the "C" button...

Welcome John. I am sure he was on the MCC Board. Maybe still is...

I don't think John was ever on the board but over the years he fought hard for the Cricket Club (and it was the Cain government that insisted the MCC admit female members).

John Cain is an honorary life member of the Melbourne Cricket Club.

The MCG is on Crown Land leased to the MCC and there is a Board of Trustees(including John Cain) chaired by John Wylie which acts as a public watch-dog. Their consent is required to formalise major MCC decisions

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
