Set up some membership tents outside the 'G' after 5:00pm on Monday.  Irresistible!

    It is not just 92 since the previous tally, but 1200 in the last week.  If we win on Monday, I expect that we will soar past 45,000 in the coming week and close in on 50,000 for the first time. It is up to the MFC (and all Demonlanders) to capitalise on our current momentum and ensure that we reach this milestone!

    Makes a change from 2013 when we had to have the membership tents outside the 'G' before the game to catch people on the way in when they still had hope rather than on the way out when their dominant emotion was despair.

    If they can't get a few thousand ON THE WAY IN on Monday and get close to 50k someone should call the firing squad

    Can they get a few recognisable reserves players to "shake the tins" around the booth.

    "SIGN UP AND GET A 'YOU READY TRELOAR' SELFIE WITH BUGG"

    I'd sign up again just for that

    I reckon this should be done after every win we have at the G. Even if just a couple outside Gate 2 to capture some MCC members who perhaps haven't taken up the joint membership offer.

    It just goes to show what winning form and losing form can do.

    We are now roughly 5000 members away from equaling Carlton, a supposed 'Big 3' club.

    Their putridness have retarded their numbers while our form (for the time being) has allowed us to overachieve.

    If the club can't rustle up 1355 less whatever signs up over the next 3 days (let's say 100/day, so 1055 on Monday) then heads must roll.

    In fact their stretch goal should be to try and crack 50,000 COB Monday or end next week

    I hope you’ve offered to help spruik memberships outside the ground on Monday.

    There is no such thing as a “non member but a supporter” as you have to join the Club to support it. Maybe you are confusing them with barrackers who don’t  support the Club! Starting with your ‘family members’, perhaps if all Demonlanders enlisted 2-3 new members tomorrow (after our decisive win against Collingwood) then we will coast past 50,000 members for the first me! ?

    Had we of won yesterday and gone to second on the AFL ladder, we would’ve closed in on 45,000 this week! Now even that has suddenly become a pipe dream, let alone 50K by end of July!

    Are you serious? If you like to learn new stuff, move down to melbourne and work with the mfc  marketing dept.

    Agree, one can only imagine what the number will be with a period of sustained success.

    Looks to be 28/week? (n=1 week)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
