Yeah I will be renewing maybe even upgrading.. I swore to be a member for the rest of my life after my grandad passed away, he was a 50 year member..

That's a very nice sentiment PH.

    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.

    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.

    I paid the MCC/MFC (Premium) subscription for next year this morning.

    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 !!

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
