And that's actual legit members, not " Mickey Mouse" $1.00 maybe we will, maybe we won't members.

    We are about to have numbers that we got in June last year - we will easily get 40k and looking like 42k+ if we compete with Geelong and beat Freo and the Tigers at the G who knows where we will get to...

    I understand that we will 'run out of people to sign up' but we are getting people out of the woodwork for the first time in a decade.

    I don't think we know the numbers in the woodwork.

    I imagine there will be quite a few, but we will need to perform well for an extended period of time before we lure them back.

    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.

    I was at gate 3 handing out scarves. The line to the membership shed was 50 people lomg 10 minutes before the bounce. I have never been so busy handing out carves as this weekend. Josh Wagner was there to meet and greet ended up assisting us, as there were 5 lines of 10 deep members to claim a scarf. It was flat stick from 2pm right up to game time and more wins mean more members. Josh was awesome and the number of surprised looks on members faces when they saw who was processing their members card and handing out a scarf was fantastic.

    old dee, is that you? Never thought I'd see you making a comment that suggests we'll have "two power years" in the near future.

    LDC I know you are saying that with good humour however I am getting a bit annoyed.

    IMO I have always said what I saw and we were terrible with a terrible list it was not rocket science to see it.

    We now have a much better list that is going to improve, we are passed the easy beat stage.

    I am now reflecting this improvement.

    old dee, it seems I may have annoyed you and for that I apologise. Perhaps I'm just a little unsure how I'm meant to behave after a 2-0 (or as some in the media insist in saying "two and oh") start to the year. I'm not used to such optimism and bonhomie. Nevertheless, I trust we can continue our friendly banter whatever the remainder of 2017 and beyond delivers.

    Never thought it would be any other way LDC and I did say I knew the spirit you said it in.

    So that is half of what PJ originally talked about. 

    Winning is the only way.

    Good to see it climbing at a steady rate. My concern was that it would slow down dramatically. My membership renewed automatically for the first time this season, I'm guessing others were in the same boat.

    >40k would set a good foundation for the next few years. If we can get it right onfield we should look to consolidate that to 45k and eventually 50k over the next 5 years or so.

    "39,255

    Wiseblood has corrected his post, the figure was 38,255 and today at nearly 5pm it is still that number. (Just so we don't get over excited).

    DIG, 45K is a long stretch for a club that reputedly had one of the lowest supporter bases 10 years ago and of course not much good news since then to boost it. 

    I won't hold my breath, (mainly 'cos I worry I will jinx us), but 42K, should be possible this year.

    Rates are slowing down now...

    40k is still going to happen but 45 is a target for next year after a good year this year!

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
