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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
