    are we already able to sign? i haven't seen anything on the club's site saying so.

    Membership site up and running tomorrow according to MFC twitter. The hotline was also working last week.

    People were signing up in droves apparently.

    Waiting for my renewal notice.

    I have spoken to a handful of supporters over the weekend who said they'll re-join, even though they swore after round 23 that they've had enough and are giving up their memberships.

    We've just gone from struggling for 25k members to probably pushing 40k.

    A few good early wins, or some Jesse Hogan magic, and maybe we can push 42-43k.

    Oh Paul Roos!

    We were are 33k this year, after a 5 year high of 36k.

    40k is a possibility, but I'd be happy with just covering the short-fall this season.

    Ps, struggling for 25k?

    I thought we got close to 38/39k a few years ago when we were aiming for 40k during Jimmy's time!

    We need to aim for at least 40k again and as I've said previously, if the stars align we should be able to hit around 45k.

    We (the club) need the money and the supporter base!

    I'm not disputing how much the club needs the supporter base.

    But membership grew by around 10% (pa) from 2008 when it was at 29k and peaked in 2011 at 36k, then rallied slightly and dropped down to this years 33k.

    I thought Jim was aiming for consecutive growth and to get above 33k.

    Aim high, but realistically the club has to win back the 3k members they lost this year, let alone an additional 4k of members. All I know is that there is a direct positive correlation between results and memberships.

    Roos alone should raise membership numbers - but they need to show some results to get above the 40k bracket.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
