Will you renew your membership in 2020?

[Docs Demons 1,658]

Will renew but most likely after the pre season games. Been a member in worse times than this one. Have hope.

We can all make up our own mind Saty.

However, if SWYL wants to suggest a form of protest then he is entitled to do so.

For another suggestion.
We could all send a box of chicken hearts to the club.

I don't think it's smart to just follow anything with blind loyalty.

If they are open, listen to members views and take action then they get my money.

If they try to deflect & not take the hard questions at the AGM then they lose me.

There will be a fan forum after the season, plan your questions for then as all key people will be in attendance.

The same right as you who slag off people who disagree with you re the players. 

Stop being so sensitive and have a discussion.

Every single year my family and I will

[Ethan Tremblay 28,353]

It’s been a good discussion so far, I take my hat off to the people that have already decided to renew their and their families memberships. To keep it going as it is, simply don’t reply to those who can’t keep it civil and decide to get personal.

This thread now has a poll.

Can we have a 'Downgrade' option? 

For those that will drop the GFG or to fewer games etc.

I can't change it but you are welcome to express those opinions in the comments.

Shouldn't the question be "Will you spend the extra $240 on a grand final guarantee"

I renewed a month ago, wouldn't think twice about it

For those not renewing, are you going stop whingeing on DL? I think it's only fitting you do

[Diamond_Jim 11,727]

I am an AFL member (Melbourne support) for 30 odd years.

Now days I travel a lot and get to maybe 8 Melbourne games and then supplement it with good neutral games usually against interstate teams where is it easy to rock up at the MCG or Docklands without reserving a seat.

Arranged my travel schedule this year to spend May onwards in Melbourne expecting a great season. Took off for Asia yesterday.

I'll renew next year but unless MFC gives me reason to renew further that could be the end for me. There's just other things to do and if they cannot be competitive I'm just not interested.

Like many have said this miserable season has even sucked the joy for me of watching other teams which was my saviour for so many years when we were hopeless.

I have gone on record as saying Goodwin should go and my reasoning is simply that the club is becoming irrelevant and the coach has not delivered.If we go to the bye next year and then sack him we will inevitably face another rebuild and from an MFC viewpoint we know what that means.

Finally the inability to influence a game with Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw (names that excited so many only 12 months ago) is just so depressing to the supporter group.

Exactly right, supporters, only when they are winning

Discussion, whingeing and whining from the usual suspects

Put up or shut up

I am completely dissatisfied in how we have.performed this season, difference is I don't have to slag off the players to make myself feel better

Made my feelings known to the Club and not from behind the anonymity of a keyboard or username

If you don't come out from behind the anonymity, you are just a troll

No ..... They sent a truck load of manure to Punt road.
Back in 2003 a disgruntled supporter of ours sent chicken hearts to Junction oval.
David Neitz wasn't impressed at the time but they were the yo-yo years and well deserved (which they are now).

Saty, I appreciate your training reports and contribution to Demonland but I don't agree with potting supporters who have had enough. I really hope that our supporters renew, and that more than 70% on here plan to is a real positive, but I respect those who don't plan to renew and hope that after a break from the emotional torture of this year they decide (foolishly or not) to give another roll of the dice.

To borrow the words of Max Gawn, you cannot win a premiership in the offseason but you can certianly lose one, the same applies to our supporter base who are important to achieving success and being a strong club. 

[Older demon 2,166]

Of course I will renew as I do every year with the MCC subscription. Now more than ever the club needs our support and not joining doesn't assist and I don't think it is a protest. The club is aware of supporter dissatisfaction and if you want to protest do say via membership otherwise your comment won't be read. Also don't take it out on the volunteer who may ring you next year when you haven't rejoined. Don't shoot the messenger.

[danielE288 589]

I was duped in to commiting 2 months ago to keep my seats. Cant back away now.

[Demon Dynasty 15,364]

Friday night's pathetic display from most, no spirit - no fight - no skills - no care factor against a bog ordinary out of form bunch of mostly bog ordinary footballers where we got trounced - zero improvement for the entire season (got worse as the season went on), was the final straw for me....

Switching off auto renewal of 3 memberships and might renew depending on what 'Actions' are taken in the off season and see how we start off in the first 5 to 6 rounds next year before deciding.

If we are still gifting games to the likes of Spargo, ANB and O-Mac i wont be renewing again until Goody's tenure is over.

If we are still playing a putrid crash bash "numbers getting sucked into the contest - pathetic structure on the outside" game style with no overlap capability, no tempo possesion capability, a terrible skill set and the AFL's reigning turnover kings i wont be renewing again until Goody's tenure is over.

New Captain - Has to be Max.  There is no one else with the right attitude/voice to take this club forward other than Lewis who is about to pull up stumps.

FCS build and create a potent forward line with a genuine KPF and some classy speedy smalls who can take contested marks, gather some crumbs and find the goals on a regular basis.  Get some run, class and finish on the outside!!

P.S.  Goody - Fritschkreig is our only decent forward right now ....leave him there and stop with all the insane experiments that take you 15 rounds before you finally work out they aren't bloody working!  Some players are meant to play and star in certain positions forward or back of the square...learn to recognise and accept it and play to their/our strengths wherever possible.

Note to the bulk of the playing group, at least those that survive what should be a massive list cull (exceptions Maxy, Clarry, Harmes, Salem, Frostmeister, Fritschkreig, May, Hore, Tracc, Lewis, anyone injured or coming back from a long layoff and the rookies),  ....

Step up and grow a pair you pea hearts or bugger off to the country leagues or VFL and stay there!
