I apologise for being pedantic, but seeing 'sprewking' and 'sprewk' is rather disconcerting as it is so close to another word which means 'vomit' and 'vomiting'.

Try using 'spruik' and 'spruiking' from hereon and I'll feel less nauseous.

Spelling pedants make me pewk.

100+ overnight!

Win tonight and good chance of getting to 42,000.

Maybe all the talk of the Dees making finals has prompted people to buy memberships to get finals tickets.

I wonder how many of PJ's "Lost 12,000" have now returned as Members?

I would suspect so.

I mean, the Demons in the woodwork are not going to come out because we are looking 'likely'...

I think they will come out of the woodwork and onto the bandwagon when we have done something of note; win a final.

Agree entirely. 

 Some utter..." Show me the money"

Here they'll be wanting " Show me the Footy" 

I can empathize. And when Melbourne does start delivering in the month that matters I can see us becoming a 50-60k club. 

Lookout everyone

[spirit of norm smith 16,450]

50,000+ in 2020!! That's the goal 

[DEE fence 5,007]

So I called my lovely daughter (25) in Sydney from Rome, as I had stopped paying her membership (thinking she is fairly 'alt') to discuss life and casually gauge her interest in footy. I was beyond proud when she casually mentioned how much she still loves football, and would go every week, if still living in Melbourne and wants to remains member of the club. Close to the biggest success I have had as a father. Anyway so happy am stumping up her fee. I think i mentioned once she called a Wests player a 'bum sniffer' as a 7yo when the NFL club visited her primary school in Wentworth and had gently mocked her for supporting Melbourne.

Thought there would be a barrage of supporters signing up over these last few days from the Media and Pie and TWSNBN supporters, alas not too many at all.........

An interesting stat I just realised, that at 4,628 members, Demonland on face value, nominally represents a little over 10% of MFC membership.

Couple of things to take away from this:

1.  The MFC should take fare notice of the views on here as reasonably statistically significant representation of club/supporter membership;

2.  If there are any non MFC members within that 4,628, get on board and help take us beyond 42,000 heading towards 45,000 MFC members.

there is also a lot of non posting lurkers who don't use a login (non registered). no idea how many though

plus some of the registered members are inactive accounts. again no idea how many

your points still relevant though

Correct.

My Brother has been lurking for a decade without joining.  

You should hear what he thought of Stu.

my guess is between 41.5k and 42k
