    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?

    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

    • 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.

      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.
