Just for the record, I did go in today and sign up.
I have downsized a bit as I am in the midst of a career change and I have no idea if I will be in Australia by the end of the year (or even beyond April) so it's a 3 game membership for the time being.
However, I remember life before 2007 and the MFC has been a source of joy in my life at times. I paid nothing for that enjoyment. Giving something back at the end of the day seemed obligatory.

Hi all,

Quick question, does anyone know if you lose your 'consecutive years' status if you downgrade to a 3 game membership?

Thanks! And go Dees :)

My partner kept her "consecutive years" status when she recently changed from 11 to 3 game membership.

Also made the leap from Bronze to Silver.

Proud to have converted her to a Melbourne supporter even though she can't go with me as often as she used to.

Early wins...that is what our club needs to boost memberships.

Can't remeber us doing that H in a very very very long time.

Should draw in 5000 members one would think, If the likes of some new faces have good games early, Lumumba, Garlett, Hogan, it is very possible, whether or not it happens in 2015 is the question all melbourne supporters are waiting to be answered.

I know of two fence sitters who based on last years win/loss ratio are waiting until probably round 3 or however long it takes us to see what sort of football will be dished out this year. And I don't blame them for taking this approach.

I would not be in the least bit surprised to see a small spike in our memberships over the next week or so, following all of the press that Hogan and Garlett's efforts in the Intra Club match got.

Great! Glad to hear it. Sadly I may not be able to make as many games this year so the 3 game is looking like a better option.

Don't blame them either but u know what the say " when u sit on the fence u get splinters".

We can't afford to have fence sitters but understand.

Just renewed my 16 month old - supposedly Carlton supporting - nephew.

My argument is, until he can consciously refuse, he is ours.

Nice work. I keep reminding my wife who is a Blues supporter of our win against them last year.

I keep telling her that if the kids mention Blues I'll buy them more Dees merchandise to continue brainwashing them. So far so good, but I might be in trouble when they can decide for themselves.

It seems to take about 10 years, my Richmond supporting 1st son (the throwback) was wearing MFC gear until then, sadly he is lost. 2nd son is supporter when in the country. I think singing "its a grand old flag" every morning to wake them up may have driven him away.

Keep up the good work.

That sux, you'll have to keep reminding your tiger supporting son about their loss :)

Hopefully the team continues on the up and up, will make my job a hell of a lot easier!

Added my name today. It's pretty much a donation as I live in NSW and work rotating shifts, so watching games on the TV is hard enough, let alone getting to them. Still I feel better for doing it and quite enjoyed putting Jordie Mac as my favourite player in the survey. Heh. Bite me, Jordie haters!

Having moved up to Sydney late last year, I haven't yet experienced being away for the footy season. I'm already getting stressed out about not being able to be at the 'G.

My advice is get Foxtel and get used to watching it on TV. Also tune into sen on your phone/computer that way u can keep up to date with what's happenng.

Sydney/Brisbane is all about league and Union which is very frustrating and a waste of time.

Thankfully I'm not too far from a couple of AFL pubs - and I'll have to investigate the NSW Demons as well, as I wouldn't mind having a few fellow Dees around for comfort.

No Melbourne games in Sydney this year either, so I'm holding out for the Rnd 2 Canberra trip.

The Sydney/NSW Demons get together on game day every week at the Camelia Grove Hotel in Erskinville to watch on the big screen (assuming they haven't changed venues for this season). I've only been the once,but it was an enjoyable time and they're a great bunch. It's a nice pub too... used to play there in a rockabilly band a couple of decades or so ago.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
