    I'm planning on buying an Interstate membership for my wife this week as where coming to the Richmond game. 

    Just wondering which pub do supporters normally go for a pregame beverage?

    Did not know that. Seems a long time in today’s modern world.

    My youngest daughter and her new US husband both just signed up as Redlegs and very lucky to get those seats.

    Agreed.  For some reason our customer service has been a bit lacking this year.  Lots of anecdotes throughout this thread on issues re membership packs: cards, scarves etc. 

    Add to that DL commentary in the last few days on our website:  lacking training times for the last month/yesterday's work out at Casey, lacking twitter advice of those, lacking advice of today's VFL practice game times - fair contingent of AFL players selected for it,  lack of Twitter feed on said practice game (People were posting from the BH site onto DL).  Not to mention the 'Get your finals tickets' fiasco last year when we didn't make the finals. 

    I'm with you, if we make communications with the club, using its website etc good experiences they can only help keep the members we have.

    We got a call from Clayton Oliver, which prompted an early renewal. All our bling and glitter duly delivered. No complaints.

    We have reached the 40,000 mark!!  Must have taken the club a few days to process the weekend membership signings.

    As of this evening the tally is:  40,012:)   Almost a month ahead of last year.  We reached 40,083 on May 7, 2017.

    If we can pull wins out over the next couple of weeks we should be aiming at 45k.

    Shouldn't underestimate the value of Anzac Eve as a home game (every 2nd year) moving forward either, being a member may be the only way to get a decent seat.

    Agree if us and the Tig's win I'm expecting 85K minimum. But lets beat the Hawks first.

    The only reason it won't get 85k is if the weather is a torrential downpour or MFC members don't turn up. I don't think either will be the case.

    Tried to get reserve seats in the mcc this afternoon for the Anzac Eve game after receiving an email this morning. All sold out. They are expecting more than last year which I was told was over 92000. (Not sure this is correct figure) As this is our home game it will be a bonanza for the Club.

    There was 85k last year and 88k at ANZAC Day. There was steady rain for both games from memory.

    Also let's have our game be a cracker like last year (but with a nicer newer and smarter outcome).

    And theirs a dull low-skilled slog fest leaving everyone frustrated and dissatisfied. Maybe a draw so none of them can take anything from it.

    Not just the club processing them ( which does , as anything take time )  it is also that , my understanding, it's not the club posting the info direct. All goes through 3rd party webmaster ( aiui) .

    Earlier in this thread I mentioned re joining as an MCC/MFC member,  yet I’m still getting emails from the club asking me to re join.

    Apparently when joining as a MCC member your MCC membership has to be verefied and this takes time. So I’m sure there’s a backlog of memberships to be counted. We could well be over 41k by now (even 42k).

    Sadly if the attendance isn’t as good as we hope it’ll likely be because of the MFC reserved areas. For whatever reason they never seem to be filled and I always notice it on QB where the southern stand and Ponsford stand bottem level always have empty patches. 

    I notice the club is offering upgrades, IMO they should’ve made it free and first in best dress. Do what you can to ensure it’s filled from the bottom to the top. 

    [EDIT]

    Didnt want it to be a negative post, so we’ll done to all involved getting us over 40k so much earlier. If we win this weekend the lid could come off on the supporter side and we could get some excellent numbers.

    He will look like a combination of the Collingwood and Essendon jumpers - a mix of white rage, boiling red blood and a face as black as thunder.

    It’s a bonanza in more ways than 1 - we are gaining genuine respect from tha AFL, our goals are their goals, we are gaining genuine respect from other clubs we can work with them for mutual interest. 

    But most of all we are building a positive innovative culture - some supporters and all sponsors luv that. 

    Go Dees

    Ponsford stand is all Collingwood reserved areas for all their MCG games (home and away). So those empty spaces are due to Collingwood supporters no showing.

    ANZAC Eve and QB are massive for us for sponsorship and as a destination club moving forward.

    Any player considering returning to Victoria or moving clubs would seriously give consideration to the opportunity to play regularly at the G and in 2 blockbusters a season playing in front of 85-90+k on ANZAC Eve and 65-75k on QB.

    Make finals and put together a couple of good finals campaigns and we set ourselves right up

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
