What if this is all a ploy to outrage supporters into buying membership for the club before he turns around and signs with the Dees after trade week?? ;)

Either way - if we had more members we would have more clout - I say sign up everyone you know who goes for the Dees!

Hopefully we'll pickup a quality forward this year instead.

    I know a lot of dee's supporters but most only have a passing interest in AFL, it seems that we have people who grow up as melbourne supporters but never get into following the club with any real love or passion.

    thats because we've done nothing over the past 10 years to stir that passion...

    I know three people and my mates know others who just want to be inspired by something - a genuine superstar or a new an exciting coach - they said they'd sign up if Sheedy was our coach - its very fickle - and probably pretty weak, but after so much heart break people move away just to give themselves a break.

    Im signing up tomorrow - I reckon Bailey is gonna blow them away.

    I've been a member for the past 7 years. I'll be signed up as soon as the club sends out the papers.

    Which is exactly why we were chasing Judd. We need something to excite those fickle bastards who won't buy a membership until we win a flag or produce a star.

    What they don't understand, is that success and player development cost money, lots and lots of money, and when they don't buy a membership, they are robbing us of the opportunity to be better. It's a vicious cycle.

    I've long maintained that one of our biggest weaknesses is our supporter base. Too few who care, too many who won't contribute.

    Exactly right Jaded, the pies kids are better because they have 2 coaches that work with them all week and only them.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
