Rates are slowing down now...

38299

MEMBERS SIGNED UP FOR 2017

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

45k is a target this year should we start 4-0 or 5-0. Suspect maybe 100 sign-ups on Saturday, and if we win, expect an additional few hundred against Freo and then Richmond, perhaps 1000.

Throw in bandwagoners jumping on board at that point.

If we start 5-0, we will hit 45k.

    38,299 is only four more members in the two days since Tuesday's total (38,295)! Smallest daily rise all year and I hope not a bad omen!

    I sense an announcement coming.  I reckon tomorrow or early next week 40K hit plus new premium sponsor.

    Old Dee, for almost half a century we have had blind optimism, hopefully we are entering into an era with our eyes wide open.

    the 40K mark no question we will hit over the next 7 days, the Back of Jumper sponsor no idea but can only hope.

    No doubt we have improved but still some way to go. as for the 40k mark, we need to win next weekend or IMO forget it before May.

    Not a win but yesterday's game will help memberships. 

    Full memberships are still excellent value as we have played only 1 Home game; 10 to go!  So more reason for people to sign up.

    We will break last years, all time record of 39,211 THIS WEEK! 

    That is 3.5 months earlier than last year.  Not bad, eh.

    Sorry to do this dr. but there is only two days to go and we don't look like bridging the 40k mark.

    If we'd got the chocolates against the cats I reckon we would've almost cleared 40k this week. 

    We'll get there but I don't think it'll be a smashing over 40.

    But we might just get the 363 needed to break last year's all time record of 39,211 this week (which was achieved at the end of July 2016).

    I signed my 15month old up last week -the question I pose to you is , am I a [censored] of a father, or will I be teaching him some inherent valuable life lesson in resilience?

    A win last saturday and we had a chance LH.

    Sadly we lost and the doubters are thinking I knew it I want more proof.

    I'm unclear whether you think you might be a bad father for signing him up or for waiting 15 months to do so. On balance, I'd say the 15 month delay is the greater concern.

    Pitched battles in the family home with the geelong supporter wife mate... its been a war of attrition.

    In that case I can understand the delay. And given that it only took you 15 months to wear her down so she finally accepted that the child was to be a Demon, I think you should be proud of yourself. You're not a bad father after all.

    That's why you sign them up straight after birth while the wife is still in the hospital. Come back with a baby size Demons jumper and scarf. Deal done.

    Kids need to build resilience Dan and what better way to do it than support the Dees.

    • 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.
