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.

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.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • 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.
