Yeah, I never actually understood why people seriously started microwaving membership cards to show displeasure.

Richmond Supporters. Don't bother trying to understand them...

The "microwaving" story arose after a Richmond member in a fit of pique following a standard Richmond performance (which would be sub-standard for most clubs) claimed on talkback radio that he was going to "tear up his membership" only to be embarrassed when it was explained that "tearing up" hard plastic would be a physical impossibility.

Just purchased two memberships. Don't let me down on Sunday night or they'll be getting sent straight back, slightly melted (I wont really send them back, I don't have a mullet haircut).

As an MFC/MCC member it's still pretty poor we struggle to get 40,000 members I understand the last decade by the club has been horrible, but considering we have a decent following from the MCC members who aren't MFC members is a joke.

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

A new record wont impress me, but 40k will...   and we might just get there

The record was set in the heyday of Jim Stynes presidency.  We have been to hell and back and membetship collapsed to 30,372 for 2013.  Since then a lot of anonymous people at our club have worked tirelessly to get members back on board. They include staff, volunteers, players and coaches manning phones etc 

Yes 40,000 will be fantastic but in the meantime a new record is an extraordinary achievement for our club. Worth celebrating every milestone i reckon - on and off the field.

I appreciate that this is somewhat off-topic, and I didn't see it myself, but apparently David King pulled off a good sight gag last week during the half time break in the West Coat v Tigers game when he walked past the cameras carrying a microwave.

With a bit of luck (and Demonlanders spreading the word), it would be very disappointing if there wasn't an announcement on the scoreboard at the Saints match that we have reached 40,000. If we are now above 36,647, l should expect that we we will reach the current record prior to the Richmond match on Sunday evening and if we beat the Tigers and Saints maybe even the residual reticent MCC members will feel embarrassed by their lack of a 2016 MFC scarf.

Yes thats fair enough..  we were dead and buried a few years ago..I guess I was just thinking in terms of the membership rising along with population growth so a new record wouldn't be that impressiv, but it really is,considering we have been worse than Fitzroy (on the field) in recent years

Hats off to the membership department and volunteers

Do pet memberships count? Or is it only game access memberships?

We don't count per memberships. Armchair memberships count along with the game access memberships.

I don't think there is any point preaching to the Demonland nutbags, as I'm sure everyone here is a member.... But if you're not, sign up! It's time for new records of the positive kind. 

While my very expensive membership sits quietly at home waiting for my return, I'm glad the money is going to a club that now seems at least somewhat more in control of their sh!t. It's not wasted money like it was a few years ago.

Is the club taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity to attract more members through women's football and particularly the publicity generated by the brilliant Daisy Pearce?

I both agree and disagree Jaded.  If us hard-core Demons had failed to stick fat during the dark times, there may not have been any sh!t left to get under control, so it can be regarded money well spent! .......... and as a consequence of our loyalty and die-hard attitude, the Football Gods will soon compensate us for the unprecedented and 'never-to-be-repeated', pain and suffering we have been forced to endure.  It will need to be a bountiful feast!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
