I fully agree with this! Not only Richmond/Hawthorn/Geelong but also Bombers/Kangas/Saints! We have to move swiftly to dominate this League before the other six Victorian teams come snapping at our heels! (BTW> 33,520 members and climbing!)

p.s. I also agree with Binman regarding the advantages of an alliance with the Melbourne Vixens!

Sometimes think that D'landers should be on the marketing team, often good ideas that should be considered.

Any particular reason? For example, are you not members or, perhaps, "not-yet-renewed members" and they were encouraging you to join/rejoin?

I am as tragically rusted on MFC member as you can get and will always remain grateful that others can't see how much time I waste thinking about all things Melbourne. Unfortunately the club don't know that the only reason that I won't renew is because I have passed on (and like my father I hope to have my ashes scattered at CHF, scoreboard end) so Josh rang last night to see if I was going to sign up as I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Did anyone else get a call from any players last night?

Got a call to renew and did. Didnt know players were calling so potentially spoke to someone. Had a bit of a laugh with him that i need the boys to win due to making too many bets with a saints mate.

The call from players made a difference with membership now over 35K! (700 up on yesterday)

Just signed up today, got a reserved seat this year but I probably won't be able to make it all games, I know membership isn't transferable but I was just wondering if I might be able to give my card and seat to my sister when I can't make it?  Never had a reserved seat, so can anyone answer if the MCG staff strict on the names in reserved bays or do they just care if the card matches the bay etc?

Cheers and go Dees. (Sorry for hijack)

Na, I've had a reserved seat for years. They don't care who you are, just that you have a valid ticket.

Looking at the trends, look like approx. 2500 sign up either at the first game or the week leading into the first game, so by end March we should be pushing 38K.  Hopefully by Anzac Eve game V Richmond we hit the 40K mark

@george_on_the_outer

Thanks for adding the dates to the table in

Must have taken eons to get the past year data.  It really gives another insight into how we are tracking.  Thanks for the efforts.

 

 

And, congratulations Ethan T.  A budding AFLW champion, I hope!

Well I re-signed my mum up on the day of the melbourne/carlton pre season game at Casey which was 3 weeks ago. I filled out the form and the girl said she couldn't process payment but wrote down my credit card details on the form. So far 3 weeks later money hasn't been taken from my account so it obviously hasn't been processed. I emailed the membership department on friday as I work before and after office hours and got no response. 

So at some satge 1 more will be added to the total. Just hope they haven't lost my form.

Let us know how you get on signing up someone with a date of birth that's in the future.

And, much more importantly - congratulations.

I have always signed up my kids before they were born you just give them due date can change it later and they send out membership card with last name on it and baby as 1st name

I'm lazy enough that once I've got some documentation that calls my child "Baby Comedia", the child better get used to the name because I'm not going to bother changing it.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
