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...

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.

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

    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
