Just do it. My husband, much to his horror gets a Dees membership every year for Christmas. If he bought me a Collingwood one in return I would shred it.

Good thinking Jane. A much preferred  course of action than having  your front teeth removed.

I heard the Bulldogs CEO on radio yesterday. Their Membership is currently at 43,000 after a flag and a summer of enjoyment. That must be close to their limit. 

(Sponsorship is flooding in though)

if we can get 40,000 after the ride we have had then i firmly believe we can pull a big membership number when the tide turns

This has got me thinking. I have a relative who is in a nursing home (somewhere within the Golden Mile of Melbourne) - surely having a membership to the MFC would give some of the old folk some comfort in their twilight years? Maybe there are many lapsed members who have been forgotten about? All of these residents could afford an armchair membership. I might pay a visit this weekend.

I still believe the Melbourne Football Club brand is incredibly valuable. It has so much untapped potential, and just needs a little bit of sustained success to usher in a new era of supporters and members.

Absolutely. The MFC have never used the power of our name yet. 

I have never understood why

So does our current CEO, was at an event recently and PJ was speaking. He noted the branding change was to do with promoting the name Melbourne as part of the MFC name, it has huge value if and when we start to win but more importantly have sustained success. 

 The mantra is to compete for a flag on or before 2020 and to develop the club for sustain success.

Obviously didn't (or didn't get the chance to) brainwash the kids early enough!

Outstounding effort by everyone involved in taking this club from the edge of depth to as exciting as any club in the competition on and off the field in such a short period of time.

Fantastic to see this. This now sets a base for the club to build off in the coming years in what will hopefully be a period of success. If we can get to 45k in the next 2 years it will be a fantastic effort.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
