Winning ? is what people want to see MFC. Set high Standards every year. 
 

Certain Clubs are “up there” every season 

We must aspire to be one of them

    Congratulations to us all.


    We love the Melbourne Footy Club, the mighty Demons.  

    28 years as a member now and my heart has somehow survived all the scars along the way.

    Amazing effort in Covid ravaged year however success on the field is always  the catalyst for membership no's.

    Hopefully the 12,000 new members this season are half new and half  resigning from previous years.

    If so it gives confidence for the future to reach day 60,000 next season with hopefully A big new Cup  and Flag to add to our dozen already coveted. 

    Congratulations to every member who has helped the Club achieve this ground breaking target.

    Bloody stoked to read this. The club fully deserves it.

    I am going to be a bit self indulgent here, but I mean every word I write.

    This year has really helped me fall back in love with AFL footy (despite it's unorthodox nature thanks to COVID).

    I remember having someone on this board saying to me in 2012 that I shouldn't take on board the criticism directed at us in the wake of the tanking imbroglio because 'they' just wanted to bring us down now we'd 'gotten our act together'. 

    It goes without saying how far off the mark that comment was. It truly is absolutely amazing to be on board a club that is progressive, organized, innovative and, above all else, winning. Notice that I didn't use the word 'successful'. That's because we aren't... yet. 

    It's been 3 years since I have actively looked at the draw weeks in advance, and especially after every game. It's also been three years since I've purchased Demon merchandise (albeit an indigenous guernsey through the AFL store). I'm also delighted that I renewed my membership to make me a member 11 out of the last 12 years. 

    Thank you MFC from the bottom of my heart.

    Fantastic result! An amazing effort from all of our supporters in yet another year where most of our memberships have been heavily under used thanks to Covid.

    This has been my most enjoyable year as a demons member. 2018 was enjoyable but very up and down (biggest downer being the debacle at optus). We've been reliable and consistent. We've never been reliable and consistent before. 

    Let's hope we can top it off  with a flag but even if we don't this year has been a huge step forward for the club

    The only downside of this season is the never ending anxiety that we won’t be able to watch our team play finals at the MCG. That really would be an absolute heartbreaker for our members who have waited an entire lifetime!

    well done but we're still around 10th on the membership lists and around 7th of the ten Melbourne based clubs.

    It will be a hard task to climb the ladder.

    Looking at the numbers from Big Footy

    We should easily stay in front of the Saints next year and probably the Dogs who are 5k behind us. The teams within striking distance are Geelong, Hawthorn and to a lesser extent Essendon. Carlton's figure strike me as rubbery so they could be within range.

    North have 45k members which is more than we had in 2020.

    I'd love to see the break down of 3 game memberships and pet memberships throughout every clubs membership numbers. 

    I reckon the true numbers would stack up against the Hawthorns, Carltons and Essendons of this world.

    Hawks are renowned for their pet turtle memberships.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
