Good to see Jesse being part of the campaign.

Perhaps they could have squeezed Roosy in there in the last minute.

I will probably get shot down and I don't want to be a wet blanket but I just wish we could actually see Hogan play a bit before making him a poster child for the club. We tend to do this at Melbourne, hype things up too much and get ahead of ourselves.

I agree completely, but the above is not what I get angry at - I will be angry if we allow him in front of the media before his first game, or if we have an extended '[censored]' piece on the website before his first game, or if we build up his first game for any reason.

I think Jackson is smarter than that and I know Roos will protect him.

Hogan is not the answer to our prayers. He is a good footy player who can help us win footy games in the future.

Using 18 year olds as marketing tools is in the rear-view I hope.

It's a valid point, although if it sells a few more memberships while the hype is high I'm all for it.

I believe the opposite.

If we do to Hogan what we did to Watts in 2009 that would be a disaster - we swapped 10k at the gate and a few hundred memberships for ruining a kids introduction to AFL.

He should never have played, and if it cost us $100k not to play him - so be it.

Same with Hogan.

I'm a big fan, it's a well designed piece of art really.

I like the moto, steering clear from the excessive history yet still blends whilst looking forward to the future.

The photoshopping with the hint of light in the background is just fantastic. In all honesty it's one of the better pieces I've seen.

I also like in their now video how they have steered clear of the white jumpers (exc. Hogan because we only have footage within him in the white).

Although the difference with Hogan is that he's ready to go round one, Watts wasn't - let alone the Queens birthday weeks later.

The games he played (and dominated) in the VFL is enough to merit excitement for his introduction, and include him on the banner. If Viney is on there after his first season I don't see why Hogan can't be either.

Although I completely agree with you both, I would hate see another "Hogan is our savior like thread" with people expecting him to come out and immediately play like a Lance Franklin, or prime Jonathan Brown. It's the same kind of bias and hype people get caught up with regarding the top 10 draft picks.

I wonder how many of those are roll over members like myself compared to peeps who have joined post Roos signing

I hope they keep stats on who is joining cause of Roos as it will be real interesting to c the effect he has on membership.

Will also be interesting to c what number of members hold off until they c results on the field too.

Tbh u can't blame them considering the last 7 yrs.

Does this mean you can't sign up if you have an arrhythmia?

Well we have players with heart problems why not supporters.

I think the heart problems would come when we start having close games... For now its probably just liver issues

a friend of mine who was questioning whether to sign up again for next year rang in today to renew his membership based on Roos coming on board, the membership team said they have been very busy with similiar reasons since Friday!

Would be great to get to that 40k mark and really start to lay some foundations for a new culture and club!

Signed up this morning. 44 years and counting. I am not one to make rash predictions and while I do not for one second want to suggest we will make the finals, I will just say I reckon going to the footy in 2014 will be a far more enjoyable experience than the last 5 years. Then again, that's not saying much. It needs to be. Still, I have not felt this confident about our rightful place in AFL in a long time.

Does anyone here remember a 'T-shirt Design' competition held by the MFC about a year ago? Winner was going to have his/her design put into production and also win a range of prizes..

The competition was cancelled for some reason.. And a winner was never announced... My design at the time.. is EXACTLY what the new membership campaign slogan and design is.. but the 'heart' symbol was our red 'M' in the shape of a heart..

I feel partly used and partly impressed that it was something that I sorta came up with it would seem...

It's been a long time since we have mentioned the MFC and finals in the same breath or paragraph and I like it, i like it a lot.

44 years is a long time congrats on sticking fat iws

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
