MFC 2016 Membership - Record Broken. Next stop: 40,000


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

Nearly 200 in a week. Slowing to a treacle. We'll beat our all time record but.......

...On the positive side of things....a good win over Collingwood followed by a home game blockbuster v Richmond will produce a surge over the membership desk one would hope!

Nothing like stalling, what could have been again 38-40,000 will now just fall over 37K, unless of course we beat Collingwood, Richmond and St Kilda all three games we can win if our players want to.

If only we had beaten Essendon followed up by our spirited performance against North then we would be already there. Still a chance however if we whip the Pies (when they are playing at home) followed by the Tiges.

We are letting them play at our home, our players should remember that every time. It's our home, theirs is over the road.???

    Fremantle          ------    
    Geelong            49,104

Looking at this, the minimum we should be getting year in, year out is 40k. Really 50k is where we need to be to be comfortable.

The Dogs must be in a world of trouble. Considering the year they had last year and their start to this year to only have 32k is alarming.

Just received a call from my father today. Dad is in his nineties and has been a longtime MFC member until he finally let it lapse this year because he is not steady enough on his feet to battle through the crowds from Richmond station. Last Sunday my brother picked him up in a cab and took him to the Dees vs Pies game and he had a ball. Imagine his surprise today when he received a MFC membership package in the mail recognising his many years of membership and telling him that a MFC staff member had paid his renewal on his behalf. Thank you Melbourne Football Club!

I would have hoped that after our performance last Sunday, we would have had a boost in numbers, but we seem to have stagnated.  If we knock off the Toigs this week, it will be interesting to see what happens.  If no bump in membership figures then, it becomes a little bit concerning.

I'm involved with Auskick and Junior Footy, I wonder if these membership numbers include the free memberships.  North have just did the schools in my area offering kids free 3 game memberships, they have just sent out to all Auskickers offering the same.

Of course, if you replace "MFC" with "ALP" this would be a front page newspaper story about Labor Party branch stacking.

Volunteers were in Monday and Tuesday nights doing usual renewal calls and achieved 50 odd new renewals so we hopefully we will have the record beaten by the Richmond game. Would be great to announce a new record on Sunday night. I would hate to suggest it might announce a renewal of the the mighty MFC. 

We should not though be satisfied with just breaking the record so all you Demonlanders who are able to purchase an additional membership, even an armchair membership($69), for a longsuffering supporter or a Collingwood supporter looking for a winning team to support, ring the Club on 1300 336 667 or go on-line and sign up another member.

Does anybody know if the players are going to do another call around to sign up members? My other half is a Carlton supporter but is slowly coming around to the Dee's. If Hogan could jump on the phone and make a call, the conversion would be complete.

probably waiting for those members who microwaved their cards after the essendrug game to buy replacements :o

I have never understood the idea of Micro waving your card.

I can understand cutting it up and sending it back.

But if you Micro it you are only one who knows you are [censored] off.

If you send it back a couple at the club might know you are less than happy.

Or am I missing something?

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
