44623, that's a 200 jump in the past 2 hours

I finally got around to renewing my MCC/MFC membership this afternoon. That’s our fourth for the household.

Girl I spoke to said they’ve been very busy.

R U OK old Dee? 

Other than the problems of the ageing process I am fine Paul. Sadly you reach a point where something's are more important than others. With the virus and others things, going to the G is dropping in desirability.

Fair enough Old Dee. My Dad died late last year, so this is my first season without him, and it has taken on a melancholy tone as a result. But I must say, I did feel perked up after a couple of beautiful goals by the boys on the weekend, accompanied by the roar of the crowd, and Dad would have approved and felt likewise.

I hope when covid is sorted, and you feel safe, you can return to the G, so one day we can enjoy us lifting that elusive cup..

I thought of my Dad last Sunday night too. Long gone, he saw most of our flags in person and he'd have loved that performance.

The level of membership is getting near the point where they don't need me any longer. 50k and a good results year in 2021 and I will be faced with a big decision. 

WHAT KIND OF TALK IS THIS??

2 more to the tally!

Finally got my twin daughters' first memberships finalised, after a reasonably complex scenario was handled with aplomb and relative efficiency by a particular individual down at the membership department. A great customer experience.

With their packs unlikely to arrive for their birthday next week, the club says they'll send birthday cards in lieu of the delay - let's see if they come by then! In any case, I can't wait to take them to their first game at the G - maybe Queens Birthday!

But my true thanks goes out to @roy11for his thoughtful generosity and getting it all happening - cheers mate ??

My dear departed sister used to say that the difference between being a follower and being a supporter is Membership. Come on all you followers... Become a true Demon supporter with a club membership.

Just someone who the ageing process is catching up with, somethings become way less important than they used to be.

That is a very good total For 2021 considering all the negatives at present.

It is only round 6 this week. If we win against Richmond this Saturday night. This will present a great opportunity to get to get passed 55,000 Members for this year.

I'd be happy with 52,000ish this season.

If we can go deep and go on with the job next year we should be able to push for 55,000-60,000 in 2022.

That's another 10 -15k if we win Saturday night perhaps 5- 10. Without that 15 looks a big ask.

It's another 7k given we just hit 45k.

Ok my mistake. I think we will struggle to get beyond 55 next year even if we finish top four this year. We Don’t have big numbers of supporters.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
