I have no hesitation in renewing my membership - for the 30th consecutive year. If the club has no members there will be no club. I'll also be renewing other family members' memberships.

Paying for the MFC membership is like owning a couple of 1970's Ford V8's, throwing good money after bad!

I will be throwing my money away again and so will the other 4 members of my family.

I am the only MFC supporter I know in a territory full of Beagles and Shocker supporters.

There always needs to be someone prepared to enlighten the uneducated and ill-informed masses.

So I will be renewing next year and may get the wife a membership for Xmas as a special treat LOL

If no one hears from me on Demonland after Xmas it may be because the wife did not like her present.

That's a very nice sentiment PH.

Thanks mate. He passed in 09 and I finally got my act together in 2011..

As a kid my old man signed me up every year from about 99 to 2005..

Used to love going to see the wiz nietz and the Ox dominate sides!

Hopefully that'll be Dawes Clark and hogan next year!

I can see your line of thought about this, therefore dont take it as a personal attack, as its your money Ralph, you have every right to invest ,spend, waste it on anything of your choosing. But the AFL wont be sweating on Mr dee-luded and Co holding them to ransom.

The AFL will be more intent on bailing out the MFC or any other club, IF it sees 60,000 fans at the G, and their team is under performing, if a team only gets 6.000 per game game, they wont be thinking if they help, the club members will re-sign. It will more likely see it as whats the point, we invest XX amount into this club,and dont get return for our investment.

As hard as it is to watch the garbage played week in week out, we still need members, or non members at games. bums on seats will keep us viable.

Any revenue the club gets, we hope, it uses it wisely to improve the club as a whole.IF we had 50,000 to 60,000 members paid up, we probably wouldnt need the AFL and its blackmail money.

.... the way I see it at the moment is the AFL have the ability to have great persuasion on clubs, & on coaches...

atmo, there are I think a number of clubs looking for coaches, although it seems essengate seems to have freed themselves from this scenario.

I think the AFL are more likely to ease off somewhat, if the numbers just automatically return to our club to soon... it may hurt us re PP, potential coach, & the amount of financial assistance etc.

I think there is a lot to be said to not renew until after Xmas, early 2014... let the AFL sweat on our behalf a little bit, & let them reach out a bit further.... they know they've hurt our beloved game, & they need to understand to not take the punters for granted.

No, I think individuals delaying things now, will payoff in our future.

# As far as watching the garbage, I've gone from watching nearly all free to air games 10 years ago, to virtually nil over the last 8 years. only our games, do I sort of watch, but often I just delete them after 15 minutes of watching.

I've heard & I know of many who just don't bother anymore, not liking the AFL style these days.

its not the bigger games thats the problem, its the lower clubs congestion... & it is this, that the rules need to be sorted out for.

... the rotations lower the pleasure of simple watching & enjoyment, making viewing the game too much hard work... it's as hard a work, as it is for the players to run it out... this removes the fun & laughter from the viewing & replaces it with a very big mental effort of over-analysing the game & stats whilst viewing... this isn't relaxation, its torment.

After such a loathesome 2012/13 the club really doesn't deserve anything, but the previous regime has been booted out never to return & i want to support PJ who is a real operator.

I am still a member of the MFC.

I'm in. Rusted on..but please..give us something !!

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
