An excellent start to our ‘Membership volunteer” program.

13 vols on Monday night produced 29 new members & $3337 in revenue, then

8 vols on Tuesday night produced 39 new members & $4539 in revenue.

Thanks to Geoff, Geoff, Pete, Pete, Julian, Cheryl, John, Steve, Graham, Trish, Catherine, Daniel & Tim on Monday night, and

John, Geoff, Geoff. Pete, Pete, Trish, Roslyn & Heather re Tuesday night.

Our big picture plan is to write somewhere near to 1000 members over the coming 3 months (fingers Xd),

recognising that this figure effectively doubles with inbound calls from our messages left.

Two volunteers are heading off to the “Med’ next month, so if u can rustle up any replacement Demons .... it will be appreciated.

A great start. Geoff [email protected]

Great work guys... I'm assuming one of the Pete's is Saty (TDI)?

Great stuff Geoff

First one I'll be missing in a number of years - thanks to now residing in Sydney.

Good luck with it all!

I think you'd be right. I'm pretty sure 'longsuffering' is another d'lander who regularly volunteers.

It's a great initiative - not only does it save the club money, but fellow supporters can be a lot more persuasive when trying to get lapsed members to re-sign than generic telemarketers who know nothing of the MFC and its delights and agonies.

Just out of interest for those the decry the lack of a Membership presence at certain places, the majority of the staff in Membership are just about to hit their 14th straight day in work

I bet they take long lunch breaks and knock off early, the slackers.

So what you are saying is that the club is understaffed and/or poorly organised when it comes to membership?

That's not like you to be critical. Maybe someone's hacked your account.

I'd call the mods.

Please don't read anyone's opinion that the club can be insular and short sighted as a slight on 'nineteen' and anyone, including yourself, that gives their time for the club.

Selling memberships isn't work, it's a privilege and more of a hobby. :)

Great job by the club and volunteers. A mate of mine was one of those who recieved a call and signed up. Excellent.

Btw, consecutive days worked doesn't mean that the club cannot take constructive criticism on board.

Absolutely. Volunteers should pay the club for the opportunity to make large numbers of cold calls at dinner time. Some people get all the luck.

Excellent work by this group, people like this are exactly what a struggling club needs..... more of them and less of the keyboard warriors (who shall not be named)

Every membership helps.

Well done and thankyou to all.

I still reckon we can make 40,000 this year if the team clicks

We must all aim high and it just might happen.

As long as it is that I agree, but for it to be that, it has to be based on fact not conjecture

I'm not bothering to get into that argument again, you can on your own if you wish chappy. Mine was from conversations on the day and subsequent emails from club membership which confirm the constructive criticisms were well based.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. 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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
