1,584 ahead of where we were this time last year!  

March has been phenomenal - increased by 5,661 for the month.  Great result of player phone-a-thon, Family Day and round one being at Home and at the G!

Very good chance we will beat last year's record of 42,233.  Final of 44,000 to 45,000 is on the cards!

This is great. But we must clean up these Dead Quarters!!!

No a pollie would have used 50 and three words we would not have heard before.

I had mine posted to me on the 19th of march and it still hasn't arrived. There is something not right here. Another call to membership I spose.

Being in Brissie I paid for Interstate membership on 2/3 plus 2 junior for twin Grand Sons. Packs still not arrived when club said they mailed Monday week ago. Also asked for the free ticket in M'ship package for this Saturday's game and no email ticket yet. Emailed and rang club 3 times now and with Good Friday tomorrow will have to ring again today. This happens all to much with MFC

I’ve had similar problems and did last year as well. Hopeless communication and organisation. No where nearly good enough. The membership process needs a major shake up.

I can see GA tickets being bought on Saturday afternoon DD. perhaps now with all the new sponsors on board we might be able to have enough staff however I suspect it is all done by outside contractors who give it just enough effort. Extra effort is not covered in the contract.

an example of where the bigger clubs can invest their money to remain at the top, size wise.

The fan experience or whatever you like to call it is very important.

I have never had more than the odd small  inconvenience from the MFC however I can see why people would get peed off . If I were  an interstate supporter I am not sure I would bother being a member after the last dozen years, just buy GA on the day the circus comes to town.

Rang them not long ago and they immediately sent my ticket through with apologies. Packs still not here. Buying GA for rest of family at the Gabba. Do not expect that many to turn up. Lions and Dees up here does not enthuse the Qld'ers

With the exception of about five years since 1964 I have always viewed my membership as a charitable donation Dof. Due to a number of factors I will only get to 5- 6 games this year so I hope the charity lives on.

Yeah I had trouble back in 2010 I think. Mine arrived this arvo. It took oz post 9 working days to deliver a post. Ridiculous. I don't like the way it is delivered either. Just in a pencil case which anyone can open and avail themselves to whatever is inside.  Was at the member tent last sunday to get reserved seat which I had booked and this lady complained that she got her package last november but did not open it till the friday before the game and found her membership card was not inside. ( why wait that long to open your package is beyond me but that is what I was told ).

It is now 38,610 as I’ve just paid my MCC/MFC membership, my 31st year. (Bit late but,)

And I’m making sure my 2 daughters have renewed by next week.

With only our second home game this Sat, we could make 40K almost a month ahead of last year.  think its membership day today too

 

Paid my MCC/MFC membership on the 21st Feb. Received an email shortly after confirming such and after calling and an email (which was never responded to) I still haven't received my pack. I don"t really need it but new stickers for the car would be great. Very poor form from the membership department. REALLY needs to be looked at. Come on Peter Jackson.

If we win today I reckon 45,000 is in the bag. 

Lose and the microwaves will be out in force.

We'll need to do the Hawks next week too to hit 45k.

We've come a little ways ??

What were we at this stage last year?

This thread gives a running tally vs prior years.   It is pinned to the top of the Forum page

 

The figure at this time last year was 38,554 so we are about 850 up.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
