Increase in membership?

I am currently a member of the MCC but not of the MFC, a letter from the MCC arrived to day about the new 40$ memberships for MCC who want to become offficial MFC members. they estimate there to be about 18,000 MCC members who follow the demons but are not MFC members. i was delighted to receive these forms.

how many memebers do we intend to gain from this ? and how many do u think we will gain?

i reallly think this is a good idea.

 

I heard at the weekend that the Western Bulldogs already had 23,000 members signed up by the weekend and they expect to finish on 32,000.

It was only a few years ago that the MFC had thousands more members than the Bullies. I can't understand why we're lagging behind them. It's not as if they'be been more successful than us in recent times. Surely, it's not just the Akermanis factor?

The Bulldogs have asked big businesses to purchase memberships to give to under privileged kids, and are benefiting heavily from this I believe.

 

i have joined the afl tjis year, nominating mfc as my club.as i understand it, they get about $117.00, but does it count as membership?

anybody know?

Bought my membership today as well

It was only a few years ago that the MFC had thousands more members than the Bullies. I can't understand why we're lagging behind them. It's not as if they'be been more successful than us in recent times. Surely, it's not just the Akermanis factor?

It's because apart from a very small pocket of supporters (probably the thousand or so who visit this place regularly), the rest of our 'supporters' are fickle, disloyal and jump off the bandwagon quicker than Paris Hilton jumps into bed.

I'm sure many of them expected a flag last year or the year before, and when that didn't happen, many of them jumped off. I'm sure they'll be lining up for Grand Final tickets though :rolleyes:

I'm very confident that this intiative will have a substantial impact upon membership numbers. The $40 option was provided for the last few years but it wasn't counted as an official membership, and hence really served no purpose, short of a donation to warm the hearts of MCC members.

Much different kettle of fish when it is counted. We should get to 30 odd thousand this year, and hopefully build on that in years to come.

 

Phones were going insane today at the club, and they're expecting similar tomorrow...


So anyone got the current numbers? Have we cracked 20000 yet?

The last members email said around 18,000 I think (that was a few days ago).

I always buy my membership at the gate in Round 1

Its tradition

Surely to go down on the official membership tally the MFC would have to get more than $40. Its an absolute disgrace how many MCC members we have that constantly fail to get a MFC membership. That is the reason we had to sell a home game to Bris year in year out. We should be getting 30,000+ members every year and be regarded up there with the heavyweights and not languishing behind with the Kangaroos struggling to keep up with the rest of the competition.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
