For selfish reasons, I only hope it doesn't have to be consecutive years!

I've clocked about 15 years overall, including some of the very worst years, but have a gap because a bunch of those things that happen, happened.

Personally, I think being a continuous member from 2007-2017 should also count for additional rewards. Like, a sympathetic hug from a player or a free 20-minute session in a sound proof padded room.

But, seriously, I think anything that recognises the deep durability of some members is a good idea.

Did anyone receive the email a bajillion times or was that just me?

I got a separate email for each member of the family even though we manage them all together. Is it possibly that?

And yeah, more off field goals for the club with this, really nailing it.

Yeah I got maybe 6.

Entered every one of them in a desperate and greedy grab at the free stuff.

Haha, I'm with you LG. Membership years between 2007 and 2017 should be like dog years

I didn't get an email and have clocked up 20+ years 🤔

Same here RM.😢


Seen nothing yet but did get the AFLW Prelim at the G one twice.

This morning I got an SMS from the club saying the email address on my membership account is invalid, and to reply with an up to date email.

But last night I received the team selection email and also the AFLW finals one twice.

Just to be sure, I logged on to my MFC Membership account and the email appears to be correct.

Not sure if there are issues from the club's end with this.


I have just sent an email off to membership advising of this oversight so will wait for response.!!

Same same

We are 30+ year members (Mr and Mrs) and have not yet received an email but know that it will come.

Rather than an afternoon tea with other old fuddie duddie members, we would prefer to attend a couple of training sessions where we could meet and talk casually and informally to the players like when they held open training sessions in mid season. I recall one at Prahran and another in East Malvern.

Preferable to a phone call or an online video call that puts unnecessary pressure on the players and coaches. They were fun and the kids (grandkids) could run around and meet the players. Jack Watts was a favourite.

In any event, success is it's own reward for long term supporters like us and, personally, we want and need no more.

GO GOODY GO DEES

A lot of duplicate emails for some, but none for me :-(

(18 years consecutive)

I think for some/many of those years, certain years should be converted to 5. Or 10 more years (hello, Neeld 'era') because it certainly felt like 10 at times. It took some herculean type efforts to not obliterate the membership at times. 

None for me and I'm 15+ as MCC/MFC - wonder if that category doesn't count?

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
