    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'!

     

    Sure. They are there. Just need convincing

    this club has let them down for so long

    There would need to be a large number of churn Dr. We have different opinions on what that number is.

    Peter Jackson said when he first came on board that although the figures were similar to the year before we had actually lost about 8k members who didn't renew. That takes it to about 45k right there and that was just one year.

    That is 2,000 up on 10 days ago.  600 of that due to the fine efforts of our players and staff calling fans.
     
    Prior to 2016 our highest membership was 36,937 in 2011.  Yes 2011!  So, a mini milestone was reached today! 
     
    It won't be long before we break the 2016 record of 39,211 final tally :cool:  Then 40,000 is just around the corner. About the time of our ANZAC Eve game, maybe?

    Absolutely storming towards 40,000.

    Go Dee's!

    If we win Sunday I imagine we'll be teetering on the 40k line early next week.

    Probably one of the few benefits of barracking for a smaller club is not having to be part of the massive human migration to the G each week which is part and parcel of a Collingwood supporters lot. No waiting for beers, fighting your way through the toothless hordes or missing the first couple of minutes of the last quarter because you had to line up to use the loo. No, we are much more civilised lot. Quality over quantity 

    And by the way BBO I enjoyed your contribution to the Demonland podcast although I was picturing you on the phone with your feet up, patting the lads whilst admiring your fishnet stockings. It was unusually disturbing

    What a win does:

    21 March

    Saints 36,906    Melbourne 35,756

    29 March

    Saints 37,767    Melbourne 37,525

    They have added 861 while we have added 1769. And that was their home game. 

     

    Now this is brilliant.

    Let me just say fndee that I have not yet heard the magnificent  broadcast debut of the bitter voice I can assure you that nothing will prepare you for the utter  horror of meeting such a degenerate.

    I bought a reserved seat membership but obviously I won't have my card before Sunday, I got an email today with a ticket to print off so I can go Sunday but the ticket is just general admission doesn't have section or my seat number on it is that normal, I would like to sit in the seat I paid for

    Hint is to join/rejoin in 2016 not in the last few days.

    My package was received ages ago and my brother and I (both longtime members) are taking our father (who only let his membership lapse this year) to the ground Sunday to celebrate his 92nd birthday by watching a Dees victory over Carlton!

    Why did your father pull out after 92 years this year ?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
