we increased by 4-5 thousand in the months after round 1 last year even considering the performance against the bombers so we will easily get to 42K performances will dictate if we push 45K

new members will come from the more casual fans that want to see a decent team play and not get hammered each week

That could be the case but it also may be true that a number of them have done it earlier this year.

To get to 45k is a big ask for a small club that has seldom got beyond 35k since day one.

There is a substantial difference between having confidence in our team and then expecting to pull members out of fresh air dc.

We may have the highest participation rate  in the competition but we have one of the lowest support bases.

You are retreating dc

45K was going to be easy a few posts back.

I hope you are right by the way because I am not going to make it much longer.

Hopefully our AFLW team has broadened our membership base Old Dee. Perhaps worth 500-1,000 new fresh air members?

We have a load of dormant supporters out there. They have been hiding in the shadows for decades. 

If we get on a winning roll and play "1987 style demolition" footy a lot of old battered Demons will join

they don't trust the club yet and who could blame them?

They are so battered they have probably passed on swyl or are you suggesting they will join from beyond the grave?

no, 42k-43k is a reasonable spread. 45k would be an ambit claim

Ok my spread is 40.5 - 42.0 a reasonable spread as you say.

I reckon it is going to take more than 2017 to turn them around.

The min. is sixth place for those so disaffected to get back on in 2018.

Reluctantly I have to correct you by saying "we have a lot of barrackers out there" and they came out in spades in our last game of 2016 (when we could have made the finals)! Many of these were MCC members who were too tight to pay the extra for their MFC 'add-on'!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
