Holding numbers back to keep the moral up?

Just 1,020 away from the all time record. So looks like we'll end up around 39,000. Inching closer. Saturday won't have helped. But a few surprise wins starting on Sunday will make a big difference.

The very same mistake we made with Watts. Wont happen. 

[Demon Disciple 11,082]

After Saturday's performance, we'll be lucky to break 37,000

Smash is not a word I associate with the MFC.

A small margin win is the high water mark.

I've come to associate the term "smash" with the club quite often over the past few years... problem is that for the most part we have been on the receiving end!

Are we are deducting cut up membership cards from the total, may have dropped back to around 25,000 this week. 

Nah, they count as two

I'd take beating them by 1 point from a goal after the siren, preferably in a GF, than a 100 point win any time. In fact this would pretty much be my ultimate footy fantasy.

I am a 100 point man

Yeh, from a Melbourne point of view 100 points would be great but from the point of view of the pain inflicted on the old enemy on the way to a win, I can't get past that 1 point after the siren win.

I'd just like to see us kick 100 points

I would have had a heart attack and not seen the result with your method IT

I know what you mean. I sat next to a stranger at the 2005 GF who with 2 minutes to go and less than a kick in it started to hyper ventilate and told me he had heart problems. I was praying he'd hold on until after the siren. Thankfully he calmed down and I got to see the end of the game. Certainly added a bit of spice to those last couple of minutes. 

The DL game day thread would make for hilarious reading after the event.

 8/4/16 -  36,157

  9/4/15 - 33,301

14/4/14 - 33,175

Already only 780 away from the all time record of 36,937 in 2011. I still reckon it'll end up around 39,000. 

We need a few surprise upsets, like Nth on Sunday to boost memberships, retain certain KPF's and attract certain OOC midfielders.

[Redleg 37,909]

Can't blame the supporters. It would be most likely, that if we won last week, we would already have a new membership record.

I would imagine PJ would be filthy with the FD ( players, coaches, etc ).

36,248 only 700 to get to the record.

Which post? 

The "40,000 looking good" one on this thread? Or the one on another thread essentially saying the Ess loss could prove costly in meeting the target?
