Not wishing to steal Nineteen's thunder but we re-signed 40+ members tonight.

And a lot said they will be renewing

Rangey me old chum, looks like your revolution will not be televised (a bit of musical trivia for the buffs)

Also got your PM, not sure what my ice skating ability has to do with anything, can you explain

Also shook Mark Neeld's hand this time.

We should get a reasonable crowd on Saturday. keep the faith, stay together, we will get out of this hole we are in

Coming in on the train [Monday] I figured for maybe 5 volunteers .... & two would be crying before the night was out - I was going to be one!!

Arrived after 5.30 to a meeting area full of volunteers, plus two in club colours. Saw Mark Neeld & Neil Craig in the group & turned around thinking wrong office. But it was us. Mark & Neil really mixed into the group [team' photo will be posted] & boosted our project.


Punch & Judy wanted to sing the song, but fortunately .........

The night took off from there & we achieved 40 sign ups - nearly best for the year. Great under the circumstances.

Three new volunteers joined 'in our darkest hour' & Catherine, Cheryl & Dave did beautifully.

Tim, Julian, Geoff, Pete, Judy, Michael & Anne made up the quorum.

My feel is that many volunteers & supporters have traditionally been sitting on the fence. These 'dark cloud days' have shuffled the balance to the extent that we have many more deciding now is the time to sign &/or volunteering. [No doubt the despair group has also grown]. The net benefit is our group is stronger & growing.

Tx to Mark & Neil for coming along & genuinely getting involved.

Great night folks - well done. Lets go again.

Nineteen, it was an honour and a privilege for myself and my lovely lady to stand alongside you and the others tonight

Then I'm guessing you are Peter, Dave here - managed to pull 5 renewals that I was pretty pleased with.

First time there tonight and really enjoyed it. I'm fiercely critical of many of the goings on with the club and will remain so, but felt great to be able to contribute a little.

Well this is my first post here Demonland! I have been one of those creepy people that would live vicariously through other peoples posts.... The last time I watched the boys live was when the Northern Stand was still up, you could buy full strength beer and I was sitting behind Ian Henderson(nice bloke!!). I will be going to watch the game with a mate of mine I met when I was working in the "West" digging it up and sending it to China! Yes he is a one eyed Eagles man like every other luddite over there, I got tired of hearing him tell me how great Subiaco Oval is so I said "he needs to see a game at the "G"! not that shite horse paddock those goons shuffle about on".... and with the way the boys are travelling at the moment I expect to be bludgeoned with West Coast gibberish and gleeful hooting coming from my ham fisted friend, the only joy I have had so far is that the Weeagles are on the same number of wins as the Dees!!!! So with a small wager he and I made a few years back, I expect that and most of the over priced beers will be on me......... So I will be getting a membership and supporting the Demons, because if I'm wasting my money on mid strength beer and shite food I may as well give some to the club "my heart beats true" for. I hope to see you all there.... I will be the guy with the big West Coast supporter sitting beside him drinking my beer...... GO DEES!!! :)

... and this week's opponent West Coast.

Great work guys ... you are the club's heroes (while the team is playing the way it is ATM anyway).

WJ that is very flattering, but we are not heroes we are just welded on supporters (thanks for the quote Anne), I volunteer because a big tall Irish bloke you may have known said it was good way to help the Club.

Dave, as you saw and heard, none of us pulls punches as to what is happening or has happened, but it's take bottle to make a stand

PS Can anybody help with getting this on Bigfooty. Senility & IT defeat & lack of usage qualification have me beaten re posting threads on Bigfooty.

If a younger wise head could transfer this thread across it would be great. tx

We aren't going great on field but I do think that the elite and honesty vision Mark and Neil have for the Club is the right way forward, and to hear they made themselves available to mix with the volunteers is very very good. Our Club needs to nurture every relationship it can, I don't know what score out of ten the Club would get for how well they treat, volunteers/sponsors/players/foundationheroes/employees/members/supporters but I'd hope we can be elite in this area.

Great work volunteers and it's encouraging to see that people are signing up.

Great stuff mate. Hopefully the beer can "detox" us from our on field performance and with you as a member we can " All hail the new flesh"

I paid for my membership on March 9th at the Casey Fields Game, still nothing, i have rung the club twice, spoke to Bridgett and Tom, still nothing, not a bad way to spend 200 bucks.

PM me your phone number or membership id and I will check tonight when I am in again, there has got to be an issue with your details, if you have your membership card and membership is paid, the card is active, did you try it? you just need your pack, perhaps you have a mailbox thief

Now is the time we deliver....

    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.
