All I can see is a longer queue at the bar.

I would've picked you as someone to smuggle in a hip flask of fire water.

I'm a little disappointed.

    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! 

    I did join last year but was on a country 5 game membership, I upgraded to an 11 game reserve seat membership on Monday as I want to sit with family members, will ring the club tommorow see what they can do

    Shiraz doesn't breathe well in a flask Steve.

    I think the club should spruik using past players and somebody like Robbo at both memebersip tents. Particularly in the MCC members area where it would be relatively easy to up grade MCC members with a $79 joint membership. Needs some subtle pressure is all and we could get a few thousand in one hit .

    Hope the club thinks about it

    I've always found that they're far too small to be practical for myself.

    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 

    They wouldn't be able to issue a ticket with your seat on it as it's allocated to your membership. Check in at the match day office near gate 3, they ought to help you out with something.

    Does anyone know how many members you could reasonably expect to add today, at our first home game, based on past figures?

    We are clearly getting very close to breaking 40000 for the first time.

    Together with good on field performance and stability off field, that would be a great result.

    It appears to average around 400-500 in the week after.  If we win and the membership tent is still open after the game or people sign up on their devices after the game/at home tonight/this week our membership office will be busy. 

    The big boost to memberships will be if we beat Carlton and Geelong at Etihad next week.  Those two teams embarrassed us in rnds 22/23 last year and have been nemesis teams . 

    Then would expect substantial membership numbers to follow leading up to Easter.  My tip is still to reach 40,000 by our ANZAC Eve game.

    30 Minutes before the game there was a long line at the membership shed.

    I have never seen that before, it will be interesting to see how many signed up this week.

    there were multiple mfc tents around the ground

    the one at gate 3,  10 mins before game start still had a queue of 80 people plus those inside the tent (about 10) and the queue was moving reasonably fast

    I expect they signed up big numbers

    This is an excellent plan, Biff. I take my hat off to you. The only addition I would make is to rig a two way system so you could have fluid in/ fluid out back into the empty bag. Save trips to the bathroom.

    Good idea.

    I'm always looking for new ways to take the P.

    That was the one I saw dc. No way a lot of those people made the start of the game.

    a mcc/mfc member here 

    paid today and rather than the $79 package i wanted to add the standard MFC pack when I paid my mcc today $165 option which gets u guest pass for 3 games selected rounds only. Apparently they only offer that before round 1 yet I hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere on site or mcc form.bit annoyed by that!

    Again my wayward interstate brothers fail to sign up, I have corrected their omission. My bet is we get to the 37800 today easily. (no I dont have 70 brothers)

    Majority are collecting scarves thus it was moving quickly, signup takes 5 minutes minimum per person but I reckon we would have had plenty signup y`day.

    That is 392 since Friday night. 

    I would say there would be plenty more from yesterday coming through in the next few days as the membership team processes them. 

    And as I noted above beat Geelong on Saturday and that will be quite a flip upward!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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.
