What a terrible ad. No mentions of the 1950's at all. You can't run an MFC membership campaign focusing on the on field product. Loads of historical minutae, that's the way to go!

And the Bugler. And if you can the marching band from round 1 2011.

My only problem, and I see why they did it. Is having Hogan in the video. I would've left him out. Sure he's huge promo value but didn't we learn from the Watts debacle.

I'd say the so-called ad is still in pre-production phase and there will be more meat on the bones after the new year. Understandably, the club wanted to get as much mileage out of the Roos announcement, as soon as possible. More to come I reckon.

The entire family (three generations) paid up as of today.

It was always going to happen anyway but the email I received today prompted me to attention.

If we can show the numbers are coming back, who knows? The AFL might even give us one of those prime game time fixtures like a Friday night or anything but lunchtime on Mother's Day.

I have not seen any miracles in my lifetime to this point WJ.

Not expecting any in 2014

Thanks CBF. Only time I've smiled today.

Pretty good of the club to put a freeze on increasing the membership prices this year as well as a thank you for the rubbish the members have had to put up with over the last 5-7 years. Good on them. Gonna ring up and find out if I'm still on the waiting list for a Legend's membership.

12000 + is probably all the nutters from Demonland and sundry "died in the wools".

I would think the majority of that figure are like me who's membership just rolls over at the end of each year.

IMO the acid test will be early in 2014

That is when the "not commited's" have to make a decision.

However as others have said a good move to start now with Roos being announced as the new coach

I recall that Collingwood chose to use 'Side by side' as a membership slogan because the phrase polled well with members*. I wonder whether we did any research when coming up with this slogan? I like it a lot.

(Of course, 'side by side' is what they are familiar with as that's how the courts place multiple defendants in the dock)

I just watched Peter Jackson's speech from the B & F. It was inspiring.

Anyone who has not seen it do it now.

I actually teared up a little with pride.

Welcome back Junior.

The Heart of the club was close to stopping this season, we have life back into our club, I hope 2014 is a year that we can be proud of.

Signed and sealed.

I agree that, exciting as he is, the club needs to be wary in using a kid yet to play a single AFL game as a promotional tool.

Trengove also isn't going to inspire many to sign up, captain or not. Hurts to say, but his next season would want to be a hell of alot better than the last two, otherwise questions need to be asked about the value of keeping him. A "bona fide AFL midfield" as Roos calls it can't carry Trengove in his current state.

Agree on the Hogan thing, think Col Garland could have taken his spot easy enough. In saying that, so far Roosy and Hogan are the only two things different about next season to the mess that was served up this year. Makes sense and I won't mind as long as they don't have one of those ridiculous Burgatron emotive pieces before they roll him out.

That's funny!! I have that [censored] about 30% of the time but it jumps to 100% when I watch Melbourne.

You are not Robinson Crusoe Bbo

I reckon we are a group about 30,000 strong

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.

Much to the disappointment of my wife, I signed up my 2.5 yr old daughter straight after Roos was appointed.

I figure, if Roos can put his neck on the line then so can I....

Go Dees!!!

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.

My daughter and 2 sons have been members for about 4 years. It has been a real battle to keep the interest going. When the renewals came this week, my daughter smiled and said "can't wait to get my membership and see what Roos does". Even if the improvement is a long time coming, I will thanks Mr Roos for giving my kids hope.

    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

    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.
