BarnDee mentioned we should have a thread.

It will happen.

It's an rpfc guarantee.

    Comfortably, I reckon. I can remember the buzz and hope that was sold around here (and in the wider community) when the "hard-nosed" Neeld and his assistants came on board.. multiply that by 10 this time round!!

    I bloody hope we can crack 40 k and I don't see why it can't get to 45 k before the start of next season.

    We currently have just over 33 k members, PJ has stated we have lost ~ 12 k in the past two years, 45 k should be the target... not to mention the potential of any new additional memberships.

    I hope the staff and volunteers have been back tearing up the phones in the hunt for new or renewed members whilst the Roos hype is high.

    Let's hope Stynes wish finally comes true.

    Jim Stynes intentions were absolutely pure for the MFC, he will go down as one of the most important figures in our history.
    He'd of done anything for the MFC and hopefully we surpass his dream of having over 40k members.

    Thanks Jimmy.

    Roos + High Profile Recruit (or two) + a couple of early wins = excitement = 45k members.

    The bandwagon supporters will return.

    I don't want them but unfortunately the club needs them

    Don't want them? I want every supporter we can muster. Those returning should be welcomed back. It's not like they're riding on the coat tails of success, they just have a reason to believe again.

    Time to put the SM back in the cabinet bb

    Im serious 45...why not ?

    We were going through 35 with ease and looking towards 40 when we went belly up.

    Currently we stand at 33 odd. The club acknowledge they KNOW the 12000 who have done a runner. Target them and also campaign to those who let us go years back. Then there are new members...always are, even for us . Amazing .

    point being again, why aim for the easily achieved ? Aim a bit higher. Mightnt get there but you'll surpass the lower number.

    Just remember we have just finished two years where we won 6 games in two years and most week's were not even competitive.

    I can imagine 45,000 in 2015 but not next year.

    Ah yes, good ol' Jimmy provided a great bandaid solution -- like those before him -- in keeping Melbourne afloat for a few more seasons. His overseeing of Bailey, Schwab, 186 and beyond are indicative of a fantastic stint as club President...

    With all due respect, Jimmy was a fantastic man and servent of the club, but his legacy was and will remain the Schwab era of the Melbourne Football Club. Jackson and Roos are basically starting from scratch and have very little to salvage from the era before them. Let's get real.

    Jackson has been a far more important figure in 6 months than Stynes was in his time. Granted he demolished the 3-mill debt, but let's not thank Robin Hood for throwing money at a town but being unable to create a system that constructively uses the money to maintain sustainability.

    Best we forget the Stynes era. His hard work would have been forgotten and ridiculed if he were still alive considering the eventual path the club took. And yes, I think we'd still be in this position if he were still alive. 186 happened under his watch. Harsh truth.

    Theres a lot of folk just needing a reason to get off the mat.

    I think it amazing weve managed 33 with the slop weved served up to date.. But take that as your base. Mind boggles.

    Theres been a lot of reasons for thousands not to join/rejoin over the decades. things can change...and quickly.

    Yes an article today talked about a 12000 member lose over two years! I thought we had gone from 37,000 down to 33,000. That is an amazing stemming of the tide in my opinion. And I think PJ and Roos will move this number forward. The future is up.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
