Doesn't always work like that. Once the enthusiasm and alcohol wears off reality can hit and people become a bit more pragmatic. 

And in one fell swoop the good doctor has many of us reminiscing about our single days.

37,243

2,757 to go

[Its Time for Another 4,208]

37,243

69 more since yesterday.  So 2757 to go.

There's 9 weeks left until the membership cutoff. At 5 working days a week that's 45 days. So we need to keep ticking over 62 a working day to get there or 306 a week. Hopefully there are a few more telephons with the players and we push hard with membership tents etc at home games. And most importantly keep those wins ticking over. Like this weekend.

guess at final number 39,002

Win this week against saints, win week after against Suns and we will surely get 40k both winnable games

I was sitting in the Southern stand on Sunday night and there was a very definite Demon presence coming from the entire Northern stand which was tremendous.

Let's hope we don't fall over in the race to 40,000 Old.  That just wouldn't be acceptable!

[Dee1987 277]

As I stated earlier, given the previous decade of football we have played has really cost us in membership, big time. We have been aiming at 40,000 for the last 6 years and we seem to come to a stand still. Seems a real struggle given better players coaches admin and now starting to see a few wins dosent seem to be enough for some people.

As an MFC/MCC member I'm disappointed knowing that if more MCC Melbourne supporting members joined up as MFC members we may have over 50,000 or at least get around 45,000

A Robbiereference, I'm guessing, Barnee  So how about 39,287 (numberplate thread refers)? But make sure we don't get stuck at 39,186.

I just thought I'd mention something about the 20% discount from New Balance for Melbourne members.I needed a new pair of runners so I thought it best to support our sponsor and go with New Balance.I didn't want to order a pair online without trying them on first so on the way to the game yesterday I stopped off at Chadstone Shopping Center and tried on the shoes I wanted at the New Balance store there.I told them my situation and they gave me the 20% discount right there and then.So it was a good day for me to be a Melbourne member yesterday as I got a new pair of shoes cheap and the Dees beat the Tigers.

Hate doing this to you Emerald, but as part of your MFC Membership today you would have received a voucher from New Balance for 70% off. I just bought two pairs of trainers for the princely sum of $106.00 delivered. Full retail would have set me back $320. And no I don't work for New Balance.

Oh well,nothing I can do about it now.I just wanted to point out the service I got at the New Balance store at Chadstone.They were very friendly and helpful and I recommend  them.And no I don't work for New Balance lol.

Petracca debuting should get us to 50,000

[alias275 259]

I live interstate and do my part every year. Though yesterday i just signed the soon to be wife as well. Just want to do what i can to get this 40k.

If we do beat the Saints and Suns, we'll have a really good chance.

[daisycutter 29,613]

if the snow season gets delayed we should make 40k

Yep the one downside to being an AFL Member - when you see the northern stand erupt it makes me a bit jealous. Plenty of Demons Southside though but it looks amazing when the northern stand goes up as one.

[Demon Disciple 12,119]

You can always sit with me Gonzo, i make plenty of noise!

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

Sit next to the reserved seated area next to the AFL members.

[spirit of norm smith 16,441]

Hi. I got 2 mates at work who are Demons supporters to join. They haven't joined up for the last 2 years. They can see the light in the team and the feeling is positive.

New Balance discount was 70% !!! they are getting the MFC jumper for $40 !!

Dead right! Been in myself for over 12 years, thought I would bring the rest of the family on during less depressing times!!
