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).

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
