Glad to see she is doing her job...we have another one working that is passionate Kangas supporter who has equal parts of North Melbourne love on her instagram. I just find it very odd that the club employs passionate supporters of other clubs. I am uncertain how you can have two teams ... but i guess that is coz I am one-eyed and passionate. 

 

However, I still believe that it is inappropriate for MFC employees to be posting photos in support of other clubs. it isn't a good look. 

I doubt it's illegal to discriminate on the basis of the football team someone might support (even though it is illegal to do so on the basis of religion, which is the next best thing)...but having non-Melbourne supporting staff members has a definite upside. For a start, they're dispassionate and likely to make decisions with their head rather than their heart. It probably doesn't matter so much in the role of membership officer, but the principle should still apply for any job at any level, other than players.

i suppose anti-discrimination laws come in to play 

 

and then you have a ceo who is an essendon man, a coach who is .........etc etc

Wonder what they are doing compared to us to get their membership turning over better than us when they finished behind us and their prospects don't look any better than ours.

St Kilda supporters are renown for having very deep pockets. For a club that's only won one premiership by one point in over a hundred years they do ok really.

31,661 today.  Up about 220 in one day!. 

MFC is having a 'Membership' day tomorrow with KB/SEN plugging the club during the day.

Carlton got 500 on their equivalent SEN day, last week.  Can we beat that?

Those 3 NAB wins probably got 2000 people to sign up

Winning is the only way back...

So that's 791 more members required to surpass our round 1 membership record of 32, 451.

approx 32,500!!!  Roos just said on SEN that there was a ring around last night!  

So we have already beaten the pre round 1 record.

We will certainly break last years figure of approx 37,000 and the 40,000 will be in sight.

As always Ox’s passion for the MFC shone brightly this morning when he called for Melbourne people to buy memberships. 

Edit 1 :  Viney was just on and said we have 32,643.  He said all players and staff were part of the ring around last night and Garlett won the award for signing up the most members.  Gold pass tickets on the line!

He also said that prospective members reactions to the calls were excitement about the club whereas in previous years he gets the 'don't waste my time' line.

Edit 2:  Changed Garland to Garlett as the player/staffer who signed up the most members last night.  Thanks dd36.

I wish you hadn't said that. Now someone will say that's why Garland shouldn't be in the Leadership Group or playing in defence or...

or ringing lapsed members as seems disinterested, lacks passion, won't run with the conversation or deliver the supporters cash efficiently to the club

Just phoned up to get my free reserved seat at the Norf game in Hobart that my interstate membership 'entitles' me too only to find out they are all gone. What a joke!!! Scummy Norf only give a small allocation and the girl said the ticket isn't guaranteed - what the hell does entitled mean? Have had plenty of time to book but the cutoff isn't until Monday - not happy about this at all, and I won't be giving Norf $$$ by buying a ticket. No wonder I hate them so much.

Certainly am - well an interstate member living in Tasmania.

I'm going down from Sydney. Really looking forward to seeing Hobart after a long time away.

This sucks. Club should have let people know tickets were going fast. I rang up a few weeks ago and booked and they were going fast then. As you know very few seats available with only 4 rows at the ground on the Hill. This year will be worth going to. Although I'm not expecting a win at this game.

commiserations clint. that's a bit poor especially as the game is still a fair way out

you should make a strong complaint to the ceo. i'll bet the game doesn't get sold out so norf could free up some more seats for mfc members

    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.

    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. 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.
