Sensible move to me.

There are evil people out there that may try to convert her to Collingwood.

As a good Dad you need to get in first and protect her future.

You should also get a few spare membership application for the MFC for when she gets older and starts to bring boys home.

Haha, I'll kindly pass them the membership forms before I chase them out of the house with my shotgun ;)

I'm going to big note myself here. BUT I lay claim to having the youngest ever Demons member in our family. In the history of the club. The club kind of confirmed it too. For many years, I've been

Signed up two members today. One new. One a renewal. Both sons of mates. Parents will find out within the week. One mate a Crows supporter. The other follows Carlton. Hoping the kids will thank me on

I know my wife will have me in the dog kennel for this - but I'm about to sign up my son who is 18 days old!

Well my Girfriend is a One Eyed Swans supporter.

yeah i know i know... its just nice to see the smile on her face when she yells "Ball" when someone handpasses. But i suppose she likes the pretty colours and loud noises..

Anyway i will be signing her up for a membership this year. She loves Roos and its the first step in converting her into the Melbourne Family..

My partner was a St Kilda supporter but I kept taking her to a mates to watch each game and she eventually just kept referring to our boys.

I then signed her up with no objection.

Both you and 'Canberra Demon' show how fabulously cunning and subtly persuasive men can be! Good work. Could also be that your partners have opted for the 'anything for a quiet life' option.

My husband is a Pies supporter but each year for Christmas I buy him a Melbourne membership. I tell him its the gift that keeps giving! My two dogs are members and I think I may sign my Mum up this year as well. She has always supported the Dees but never been a member and only attended her first footy game this year on Queens Birthday - its never to late to jump on board.

My recommendation is to replace the shotgun with a chainsaw as it has such a higher fear factor.

The boys will fear you for decades to come so sign then up for 10 year MFC memberships at a time.

That's correct - has been for more than ten years now. I always rearrange his wallet so his MFC membership card sits in the front and his Pies one gets lost in the back amongst the other rubbish!

I do wonder how many members have their membership 'paid' for by people such as us. I get four a year and my wife who is a recipient has been to two horrid games and just grumbles about the number of membership scarves we have flooding our little NY apartment. I wouldnt be surprised if the few members of Demonland made up 15% of the membership.

Clean you need more control over your husband as he has too much spending money if he can afford a Collingwood Membership as well.

You done a fantastic job so far but I would recommend setting seats in the middle of the MFC cheering Squad. Right next to the loudest and most colourful Supporter would be the ideal location. Throw out all his Collingwood Clothing and Dress him in MFC gear. Take lots of photos and send the pictures too all his mates and family.

If you truly love your husband you can't just stand around an let him support a team like Collingwood, its just not right.

IMO you should be voted Australian wife of the year, keep up the good work.

It's good to see 12,178 members signed up already for 2014. That means we need fewer than 28,000 to reach our long sought after 40,000 target. And we have 9 months to do it in.

Most of the membership will be MCC members like me who have added MFC membership to their packages. However, it's still a very good start. I seem to recall that we have achieved 17-18,000 members by December in previous years, so hopefully we are seeing the Roos factor at work. Anyone got any past membership stats for this early please?

Now, if only the MFC could learn to punctuate in their home page membership update.

Snap!

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
