I have a reserved seat and I am unable to get there (the richmond game), is there anyway that I can "give' the reserved seat to the Club? its a concession membership so I cant onsell it through ticketmaster.

    Sometimes the pure membership number doesn't mean a heap, some clubs include 3 game, dog memberships etc. Be interested to see the breakdown of our membership compared to other clubs, naturally I'd think we'd have a higher MCC crossover membership.

    We need to get to a baseline of 50k hopefully finals this year will help that.

    Genius holds melting plastic over his socks-clad feet. He deserves to barrack for St Kilda.

    At least a Pies fan would never do that. They're scared of fire.

    I'll bet you 20% of their members are cats and dogs. Your typical Saints member would be called Fluffy Smith or Spot Jones.

    ...and the Pies have gone all quiet  "The club is the only one in the AFL yet to reveal its numbers publicly this year... Collingwood recorded 75,000 members last year but is now believed to be trailing that by around 10,000 "!!

    Not sure Eddie's ego could cope for his club to go from the biggest to the 4th biggest...

    And next ... as inevitable as the sun rising ... Eddie's personal attack on Lyon.

    Lyon's part of a loser club ... Lyon's radio show has low ratings ... Lyon's TV show (I'm guessing he's on one somewhere) has low ratings / is boring ... or just generally a rant against Lyon. His mother wears army boots, maybe.

    Eddie can't help himself.

    I'm not in favour of "term limits" for club Presidents. As long as Glen Bartlett continues to show he's an effective President and wishes to be re-elected, he has my vote. But for all the talk about Nathan Buckley's tenure, how does McGuire's position as President of the Pies not face scrutiny? I don't deny that he has done a lot for that club, but given the ongoing on-field poor performance, what appears to be a declining membership and frankly, declining relevance, where is the anguish among Collingwood supporters for renewal? I find it all quite strange.

    From this point last year to the close of memberships we increased by only another 3,000. At the moment we are tracking about 1,000 more members than last year. Although it sounds great to have reached the 40,000 nearly a month earlier than last year it looks like we'll end up around 43,200. No doubt wins in the next two weeks would push that a bit more but even so unfortunately looks like 45,000 won't be reached this year. 

    Wonder what the Club has to do to get to 50,000. Obviously finals will help but I wonder what else.

    It’s great. They haven’t got the balls to change. 

    The Club has been in decline since Malthouse was shoved. 

    Mick was a real coach

    Buckley is a nice guy, and Eddie has made a monumental blunder. But he will only say that 10 years from now, or maybe 15

    It does face scrutiny. But the scrutiny gets pushback from two places.

    One, fanbois who shout down any criticism of Dear Leader. "Eddie single handedly saved our club from certain destruction 20 years ago. No one else could have done it then and no one else can do it now." And, "If you can't name a viable alternative candidate right now then obviously there are no viable candidates, so Eddie has to continue." And "Side by side! It's in our song so we can't possibly make any criticism, even constructive ones."

    Two, Eddie, who uses his media platform to assassinate and head off at the pass anyone who puts sticks their hand up. Although the last one who tried that got awarded the cushy job of conducting a review of the CFC. Brought inside the tent. I think a few before that copped some media attention (of the wrong kind) and decided it wasn't worth it.

    Things will have to get a lot worse there before they get better. Delicious!!! Long may it continue.

    Eddie won't admit to anything until they've put up his statue at the Insert Name Here Centre.

    And then it will only be that he deserves that statue.

    Richmond are complaining that they will not get $1 out the funds announced to be spent by the government this morning but the MFC will. I have not had time examine the detail but does anyone know what we are getting?

    Richmond today announced 90,000 members

    Together with the reserved seat revenue they must be swimming in cash

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-04-12/tigers-smash-alltime-membership-record

    If the Dees had 90K members I would not buy one. Why would you buy a membership there is no game that 90k can get into all at once and the chance of a GF ticket are next to none if you hold the lowest level membership. Better to buy a GWS membership that way you can get finals tickets at this point. At 90K membership the game becomes a TV game for me.

    Yep, much rather have a coronary at home surrounded by empty stubbies and friends than full idiots and uncomfortable noise.........

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
