We currently have 16,407 members.

Does anyone have a comparison to last year? It would be interesting to know.

After we had consecutive years of hell we all thought we were finally on our way up but instead we managed to hit an all time low, I was thinking we would be lucky to get 25,000 members next year.

Since the rearrangements of the board (PJ) and appointment of Roo's etc (hopefully more big names to come). I think we could still hit that 35-40,000 next year.

Most of those members are MCC members who join up when they renew their MCC membership which has to be paid in time for the finals each September.

Then there's the automatic roll-overs who pay monthly to add on to the MCC lot. That's why our early numbers look so much stronger these days but we tend not to grow so well once the season is underway.

I'll be buying my membership for the second year in a row as soon as I find a job. I've got $25 to my name right now. That's the price of the first payment for the armchair membership. Not going to lie, I seriously considered just buying it now. But then, I thought there might be a few things more important than getting my Dees membership early. Like food. And beer.

The rollovers are over, had to pay before the GF for MCC members. So the last few thousand have been The Roos Factor.

And soon H_T will start his comparisons from previous years.

Yesterday was unable to renew membership throught website.

This morning received a call from MFC membership services as they noticed that the renewal attempt had failed. They quickly sorted out the problem. So would like to give lots of kudos to the membership team for a) having a computer program smart enough to detect on-line failure and b) taking the trouble to call...I actually upgraded my membership from a Redlegs 11 game to 15 games, bought a cap and considered a pet membership for the pet I don't have :rolleyes:.

Oh, BTW the person said they are all very excited, the players can't wait to get out there, memberships are up by several thousand on this time last year and staff are hopeful of the dees making the top 10.

17,625 and rising! I know someone asked but does it include those members who rollover into the following year with Direct Debit?

I also suspect a lot of these signed are MCC members who add MFC membership to their renewel. MCC renewel is September and I just add the MFC membership on.

This has been probably the most exciting end of a season i have experienced. Usually around this time im thinking about the Cricket season coming up and i usually look down at the people counting down to the start of the AFL season and laugh to myself. Im not saying i never look forward to the next season but the last few years it hasn't been a highlight and the off season has given me a chance to restock my faith (my faith is always there but it takes a beating some years) and prepare for the first round.

This year after playing most of the year with a caretaker coach under a cloud of who will coach us, rumours flying that its Roos no its not its Williams, no wait its Roos again etc then finding out that one of our major sponsors is leaving, then losing the other. Well we got our man in the end and i feel we have done a amazing job with our free agency/trade period. Having the likes of Hogan (i know he was already ours), Vince, Cross, Michie, Riley and Tyson all in the mix for our seniors, does make our list look a lot more like a decent playing list.

Then there is all this talk about new sponsors but as all the leaks from the club have now been plugged there all rumours. There is also talk around about getting new jumpers. That's exciting for me too. not that i hated or loved the old ones and either way i was going to be getting new jumpers at the start of the year but that too is exciting. Obviously we will be getting a new sponsor/sponsors for the next season (hopefully for more then one) and new or old jumpers well as long as its red and blue and worn with pride, i am behind it (and in it).

Now onto the topic of this thread. As i type we have 19,170 members and i know a lot of them are die hard roll over members but it still impressive. All of these factors have made me so excited about next season. Now i know ill probably be jumped on here about keeping the lid on it etc but i am not saying we are going to win every game etc or make the finals etc. I am just saying i am excited about watching us play. I have spent the last decade between Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra and watching game after game on TV or at the ground when i get a chance. It got to the point where i would support because i am a life long demon supporter. Always will be, Whole family are, my Sydney supporting partner is going to be, she just doesn't know it yet. This time i am one of those people counting the days. I am on the MFC website daily, im on Demonland all the time. I don't say much on here but i read a lot. Im so excited im am looking into having a couple of trips to the NT next year along with a lot of road trips to see my family, at the MCG, when the boys play. Hopefully we can keep the numbers rolling in and next year will be the first of a lot in the right direction for the club.

Would love the club to go on a big drive over the next 4 weeks to push for 25,000 prior to Christmas, that would be a fantastic achievement.

Good post. I'm also excited about the off season and what next year brings.

It's incredible when you think that this time last year we were getting slammed by the media and AFL with the tanking saga....any wonder everyone's feeling good this time around.

At this time of year we have been saying for years that our aim was to get 20K by christmas.

I believe we got that a couple of times, but just fell over the line.

This year with Roos on board and Neeld overboard we may just be looking at somewhere near the 25K by Christmas.

Demonshop told me we should hit 20k this week, nearly 6k up on last year apparently.

Good work. We will get to 40k pretty early and then hit a wall I reckon.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.
