    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
