I'm going to wait until round 3 to sign me and family up this year, depending on results

we've all suffered over the years re the dees. It goes without saying. But FFS we're not a club that can afford have too many "passionate" supporters signing up only in the good years.

You're either on or you're not.

We are a club not a bandwagon, we need your support sign up now, everyone in my house of 4 is a paid member and that includes the Pie supporting son and the Bluebagger wife

Living on the other side of the world hasn't stopped me and my family from signing up for 2015. In fact, this is year #10 of being an international member.

If you're dedicated enough to have ~650 posts on a forum dedicated to this team, you have to also be dedicated enough to sign up to support them financially. DO IT!

Tough household, PSD. Hope you're holding up OK.

Bugger that and I wish I was different, but I'm not going to sign us up and watch us get pumped by Gold Coast and GWS!

You'll be watching it whether you're signed up or not... my youngest son and I are both signed up and traveling down to Melbourne from Sydney to watch the opening round (my son's birthday present).

The club needs members in order to survive when it is going through rough times, so fair-weather supporters just don't cut it in my book; you're either in for the whole journey or you may as well find another club to follow.

Is it?

And you don't have to buy a membership until you desire to (if ever), I know there would be a lot of people waiting to buy memberships but you are baiting and flaming those on here who have already paid up by inferring we are a bunch of losers for paying up to watch a bunch of losers.

The fact is that thousands of us, deep down, would never not buy a membership - call it an idiot tax, I don't know.

I believe that success is the reward for my support, not the other way around.

Mate, I'm just choosing to do it this way this year, so when we win the first game and even the second or third we have an extra 5-10 thousand members join, which might send a message to the players.

Would that message be: people like winners?

Everyone already knows that.

As I said - there is nothing wrong with the 10k (hopefully) bandwagon members out there, but trumpeting it and implying others are chumps for signing up before success is not going to go down well on Land of all places.

We are pathetic Demon tragics, if it wasn't for the 30-35k members who sign up regardless - the club would find it impossible to function - there is no escaping that fact.

More members arriving with success will come as a surprise to no-one. That's just the nature of the beast. All it does is attract the bandwagoner label, and what you think is sending a message is just hurting a club that badly needs every single member it can muster.

Poor decision.

I can understand if you have a young family sometimes other things take priority and sacrifices have to be made. But if you can afford to and choose not to out of spite you're only hurting the club.

Bandwagon label, is this all that Port Adelaide have accomplished over the past 2-3 years? No, success on field equals success off field, so it is now up to the players to take this club where we all want it to be.

It is time we start winning rpfc, I assure you if we have a good season I will renew my family's memberships at seasons end, but as I said last year, If we win less than 6 games in 2014 as people like yourself implied might happen then I would not be signing myself and family up for memberships, we expect better than 4 wins out of 23 games especially with our list and coaching staff.

I want to see a huge effort, as I am 26 I sometimes think I could perform better for the red and blue, therefore, not signing up until the players show what we want.

Don't feed the troll. He's deliberately trying to wind you all up.

And if not, what a sad individual. Spending time on a footy forum pretending to support a club, but won't show his true support when the club needs us the most.

I don't know about anyone else but how satisfying is it gunna be when we start to win consistently knowing that u have "paid the price" (membership) so to speak for the last 8 long depressing years and more.

Being a paid member is like being married in that u go through the goods times, which there has been sfa lately and the bad times which there has been plenty of.

Like I say to me young kids "stick with it and the rewards will come".

The mighty demons will rise again.

Give it a break worm, JVF is expressing his view. Like it or not, it is not trolling.

Bet you do sign on

It is 4 months since we last played and another almost 3 till we do again. Yet here you are on a supporter site talking football and checking out the training notes

You are as sadly passionate as the rest of us.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
