1,584 ahead of where we were this time last year!  

March has been phenomenal - increased by 5,661 for the month.  Great result of player phone-a-thon, Family Day and round one being at Home and at the G!

Very good chance we will beat last year's record of 42,233.  Final of 44,000 to 45,000 is on the cards!

This is great. But we must clean up these Dead Quarters!!!

    No a pollie would have used 50 and three words we would not have heard before.

    I had mine posted to me on the 19th of march and it still hasn't arrived. There is something not right here. Another call to membership I spose.

    Being in Brissie I paid for Interstate membership on 2/3 plus 2 junior for twin Grand Sons. Packs still not arrived when club said they mailed Monday week ago. Also asked for the free ticket in M'ship package for this Saturday's game and no email ticket yet. Emailed and rang club 3 times now and with Good Friday tomorrow will have to ring again today. This happens all to much with MFC

    I’ve had similar problems and did last year as well. Hopeless communication and organisation. No where nearly good enough. The membership process needs a major shake up.

    I can see GA tickets being bought on Saturday afternoon DD. perhaps now with all the new sponsors on board we might be able to have enough staff however I suspect it is all done by outside contractors who give it just enough effort. Extra effort is not covered in the contract.

    an example of where the bigger clubs can invest their money to remain at the top, size wise.

    The fan experience or whatever you like to call it is very important.

    I have never had more than the odd small  inconvenience from the MFC however I can see why people would get peed off . If I were  an interstate supporter I am not sure I would bother being a member after the last dozen years, just buy GA on the day the circus comes to town.

    Rang them not long ago and they immediately sent my ticket through with apologies. Packs still not here. Buying GA for rest of family at the Gabba. Do not expect that many to turn up. Lions and Dees up here does not enthuse the Qld'ers

    With the exception of about five years since 1964 I have always viewed my membership as a charitable donation Dof. Due to a number of factors I will only get to 5- 6 games this year so I hope the charity lives on.

    Yeah I had trouble back in 2010 I think. Mine arrived this arvo. It took oz post 9 working days to deliver a post. Ridiculous. I don't like the way it is delivered either. Just in a pencil case which anyone can open and avail themselves to whatever is inside.  Was at the member tent last sunday to get reserved seat which I had booked and this lady complained that she got her package last november but did not open it till the friday before the game and found her membership card was not inside. ( why wait that long to open your package is beyond me but that is what I was told ).

    It is now 38,610 as I’ve just paid my MCC/MFC membership, my 31st year. (Bit late but,)

    And I’m making sure my 2 daughters have renewed by next week.

    GO DEE’S

    Paid my MCC/MFC membership on the 21st Feb. Received an email shortly after confirming such and after calling and an email (which was never responded to) I still haven't received my pack. I don"t really need it but new stickers for the car would be great. Very poor form from the membership department. REALLY needs to be looked at. Come on Peter Jackson.

    If we win today I reckon 45,000 is in the bag. 

    Lose and the microwaves will be out in force.

    What were we at this stage last year?

    This thread gives a running tally vs prior years.   It is pinned to the top of the Forum page

     

    The figure at this time last year was 38,554 so we are about 850 up.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
