Featured Replies

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.


now standing at 14,101

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.

that's a great start.

The old girl is still alive.

It was close...

 

Well my optimistic half won out and I have just upgraded from Trident to Legend. Hope it's a good investment!

Hope springs eternal Bbo

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.

Surely this means he a MFC member/supporter!

LOL

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.

:rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


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!

Yea I'm in the same boat only get to about 5 games but still buy the 11 gamer

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.

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..

In the dumpster behind AAMI Park along with many other relics of a bygone era.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
