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 ;)

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!

signed up today along with my mum, 2nd year running for both of us. I upgraded from a 5 game country to an 11 gamer. probably wont get to all of them, but it doesn't really matter, more money to the club. Go Dees!

Met a guy today who told me he signed up for the first time in 10 years purely because of Roos... also gave me 10% off because I said I'm a member too

Paul Roos; getting members and saving me money

that's a great start.

The old girl is still alive.

It was close...

The old girl is still alive. Roos has hopefully loaded the dice in our favour but without sustainable improvement both on and off field I still fear for her mortality. This is our best last throw

Go my beautiful club!

Any chance of them updating the membership counter? I want to see how it's tracking.

Unless we actually have been stuck on 14,501 for several weeks..

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
