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.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    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

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

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. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    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.
