I thought it was only Richmond members who participate in the above microwaving practice. I assumed they all have mullets.

If that is the case Ethan then i'm sure many Toig supporters would not be able to resist this mullet highlight package (Guest starring Lovett & Jackovich :lol:)

 Loved Jako when he played for us. 

His career was way too short though.

I sometimes feel guilty about this but I've done the same to my three kids (and their spouses) and nine grandkids, a couple of who have already sucked their friends into joining up.

I think this was an ongoing issue for him. At times during this match you can even see him grabbing a little at his lower back and looked a tad proppy.

I won't forget him either. The opposition crowds hated him but he was a match turner/winner when he was on. He did sook it up on occasions though when things weren't going his way. Could have been anything had he continued. I remember  looking at the goal kicking averages of the great forwards and he was in the top 5 (maybe even higher than 5).

Done the same to nephews and nieces. lost some to the Hawks and Bombers sadly. Still got 10 out of 20 to barrack for the Dees. Cost me quite a bit back in the day for memberships and jumpers!

Not one to indulge in a professional preparation. Such a pure talent though much like Sean Charles.

Gee even when "fit" jack was not a small chap.  Not a body type you see anymore in the AFL.  What a talent though.

don't forget the translated old video formats (unless adjusted) tend to accentuate width more than height so giving a distorted look

however, correct jacko did have a "unique" body shape which was partly why he broke down. liked his angry pills though. one of a kind, jacko

Just so long as the short shorts don't make a comeback!!

Back to the thread topic, any further update on membership numbers?  I think it would be a nice gesture if the person who buys the record-breaking membership gets a free upgrade to the next membership category.

Be honest, Jack, you don't feel the least bit guilty.

 I'm taking a mate along today into the Members, with the condition that he has to be wearing a 2016 membership scarf, when he meets me. Slowly but surely we will beat the old record prior to the match.

Then we should make it before the match starts. If people buy memberships outside the ground tonight, how long before the membership is recorded with the MFC?

It's only our 2nd home game so fair chance some people may sign up before the game tonight? Let's hope so

I can see flashing lights at half time tonight announcing a new membership record!  

Maybe a record crowd for a home game announced at 3/4 time!

And a win on the final siren!  

Actually, i really like that the club seems aware of this countdown thread and is giving us very frequent (weekend) updates to help us out.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
