    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?

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
