Ok children once you have stopped the 'mine is bigger than yours' in the playground, we signed up 32 last night, so just 1 under a century over 2 nights, will list the intrepid souls later

A few more words from Nineteen, personally I enjoyed last night, the positivity from people I spoke to was reallly good

"A back to regulation night with 9 volunteers 33 SIGN UPS from 419 dial ups.

A record breaking 100 sign ups for our 2 nights.

Tx to Judith, Pete, Liz, Daniel, Graham*, Perrin, Trish, Geoff & Geoff.

We pushed the tally over the 32.300 mark & the staff are stretched.

Interesting times"

Saty from above 386 people contacted said "no Thank you"

Was there a predominate reason?

And what was it?

This is a rough breakdown, the ringing is between 5:30 and 8 so lots are on voicemail or answering machine so we leave messages, not knockbacks

a group will only sign up online, you always get a couple of them,

some are going to sign up at the game (tradition)

personally I only got one NO and he was going overseas and will think about an Armchiar membership,

my lovely partner got one with the same thing,

so out of the 400 or so calls you would probably get maybe 10 NO if you actually get to speak to them and that may be an over exaggeration

if all that makes sense.

Membership love us being in on Monday or Tuesday coz the phones light up on both Tuesday and Wednesday morning

I reckon we should crack the 33000 this next week or so

Gee it's raining all over Demonland at the moment, some really optimistic threads.

Anyway 27 members got signed up again last night, further details to follow, I only got one no all night (a real classic)

Here is Nineteen's bit.....

Paul Roos has decided to step down due to the …. April 1st ….Sorry guys.

A tough night for volunteers to make the trek in but Pete, Pete, Steve, Ross, John & Geoff prevailed with 30 sign ups.

An excellent nights work considering the circumstances.

Interesting that a thumping regular encourages thinking from supporters along the lines of “now is the time I need to support my club”.

We start a new project tonight following up on younger membership.

Pushing the weeks volunteer sign up towards another 100 would be a great response to the weekends anguish.

Another 32 sign ups on Tuesday night, making 62 over 2 nights, so all is not lost even after a 93 point loss

Hypnotherapy??

That's a miracle, perhaps there is hope. Well done to all concerned.

Hello children how are we this evening, in amongst the 27 new topics started In the last 24 hours, all saying how crap MFC are, some bright news, another 20 odd memberships renewed tonight.......

A conversation:

Renewing member "about that game yesterday"

Me (with trepidation) "yes, what about it?"

RM "it was a bit impolite, wasn't it"

I think MFC supporters invented the word Resilient

  • Author

Bump, read a bit of good news

Nineteen rallying the troops, perhaps we can nominate him for pre match address

24 sign ups from 327 dial ups.

Tx to Perrin, Pete, Judy, Trish, Cheryl, Geoff & Geoff.

Solid results whilst we are “Kicking into the Wind”.

On again to night & would love to show the club we really mean biz with a maximum turn out.

So as not to upset Gonzo(id), just the facts, the latest from Nineteen, was also good to hear from PJ again last night, wants more than 35000

"Amazing what 4 points can do

Got us right on track with John, Sarah, Pete, Catherine, Cheryl, Trish, Perrin & Geoff producing 38 sign ups. …. We’re back!

We are in full swing tonight (Tues) & then back again on post Easter Tuesday.

Great if some of the Monday crew switch to the Tuesday for this week!!"

Ladies and gentlemen, just to let you know the membership is still ticking over, a bit from Nineteen last night, the optimism talking to people is refreshing

"22 sign ups from supporters who were last members in 2012.

This took 419 dial ups & was a solid result considering they were not members last year!"

Of the 419 dial ups, a lot are answering machines and may yet result in rejoining

  • Author

Been the last 2 nights, 40 odd sign ups from members who did not renew last year, great what a win will do, a bit from Nineteen

"What an up beat mood we have enjoyed on the phones this week.

Great to have a win before the bye. 14 days of luxuriating in the victory!!!

Geoff, Pete K, Cheryl, Pete G, The Cat, Tricia, Geoff, & Graham had a solid night & surprisingly topped the 20 mark at the tough end of the season.

Just Monday & Tuesday next week to go.

The club will go passed 35.100 this morning & we hoped to push towards 35.333 when in next week".

He loves setting benchmarks

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
