Ticking up nicely.

Re the New Balance 70% offer. Does anyone know if that's available to MFC/MCC Premium members?

I would assume so but worth checking - I got an email the other day with the voucher code so you would assume this would go to all members.

Only 2611 to go to break the 40k barrier which would be a massive achievement for the club. If it starts getting close I'll have to seriously consider buying another membership to help nudge it along.

Actually, I might have to get into my uncles ear, hes been a member forever but let it lapse this year as he no longer lives in Melbourne. He came to the game on Sunday though as was impressed with how we were playing.

It is.  I've bought mine already, awaiting delivery.

presumably those eligible got the email from the club with the personal discount code

however if mfc/mcc members didn't get the email i think they should. no skin off nb's nose i'd think, given the margins on athletic shoes, plus i don't think they'd like to risk offending a section of supporters

i'd give the club a ring if you didn't get email. offer finishes in about 2 weeks

Fun stat.

If 61% of the 4,289 Demonland members bought some form of MFC membership pkge, 40,000 would be ticked off.

Yes...it's lunch period.

Yeah, I meant from today. No doubt many are already signed on.

My cat supports the Deees but is not a pet member yet. It has to lift it's game or it's out the door.

[TRIGON 4,783]

Thanks for your help guys.

Called the club and they were very helpful and prompt with their assistance.

New pair of winter sneakers on their way.

We have a pet rabbit. Easily scared...runs away very fast. Female, so it would be too cruel to rename her Cale.

Should get my cat one too. She often watches a few games of footy each weekend, partial to the Dees, of course. How much are they?

The pleasing thing is we have won back a lot of lost supporters from the Neeld years.  And, found some newbies!

37,528 is about 630 in a week.  Great result.  At that rate we can get there by end of May.  QB weekend at the latest.

I think we have this

[boydie 655]

A win tomorrow would take us past 38,000

Only if we keep winning.

I said after the Essendon loss that it meant whatever faint chance we had of reaching 40,000 was lost. A loss tomorrow will surely be the final nail in the coffin for the 40,000 target this year.

But wouldn't it be terrific if in Roos' final year, we... made the finals; hit 40,000 members; had one or two players (I'm looking at you Viney and Gawn) go close in the Brownlow; and Petracca or Oliver won the Rising Star. What a platform it would be for Goody in 2017!

Agree that we need to keep winning. Leading up to the QB game we play:  StK. GC. WB. BL. PA. Hawks. Pies. I think we should win at least 4 or 5 of those and give the others a run for their money like we did Nth.  So unless the wheels totally fall off we will get to 40,000

I hope pet memberships don't count in the tally.

[mdemon 266]

The bride just signed up 10 minutes ago - having witnessed the wins against the Filth and the Timid Tigers, she reckons that the Dees are finally worth not only watching but actually supporting - ( only taken 32 years........)

Personally, I don't think that 3 game memberships should count either.

Like most of us, the 40k target took a kick in the guts today.
