There seems to be a general malaise about the MFC at present, all talk about China but nothing about a membership drive and talking up the new exciting times ahead of the club. I would have thought that with a new coaching team in place, now was the time to start selling the club and enticing new members. Of course the money would be bloody important at this time of the year I would have thought. This is the latest I can remember for years that applications for memberships have come out so late, the idea previously was to try to have them out early enough so friends and relatives could receive membership cards for xmas. I know we can renew them on the web sight but that does nothing to help non members who probably would not even know the web site existed. Have the board and administration lost the plot concentrating on the China initiative ahead of making sure membership renewals and the money from them was coming in at the time of the year the club needs them most. Here's hoping they start to concentrate on the main game soon or our membership numbers will be well below even the doggies or kangaroos.

You can now renew on the website, and I know some people have received their membership pack (1 out of 5 in my household).

It does seem to be taking a while, which is a concern.

I covered that in the post, being able to sign new members on the website is a whole lot harder than being able to go through a pamphlet with all the different senarios with a prospective new menber.

Have received 2 out of 3 in this household, both of which ar Gold cards. The other will probably be a Silver card, so I wonder if they are sending them out in card order. ie. Platinum, then Gold, then Silver, then Bronze.

Looks like they are sending out the memberships by category.

How many years do you need to accumulate to get Silver (this will be my 8th consecutive season)?

Although I haven't got mine yet, one in my group ,got his today. We are REDLEGS are the price is still $355

Got my silver membership today, which looks good.

I however have just one question... Where the hell are the stickers?

I don't care about scarves and beanies and other such useless things, I WANT STICKERS!

We have a new car in the family and it has no stickers, as we were waiting for the new season stickers to arrive :(

They were going to send them, but the first batch faded in the boxes. Expect replacements by June at the latest.

The club are trying to come up with a temporary fix; the proposed solution is that all members will be sent a 4cm piece of sticky tape so that they can attach their membership cards to the back window.

Got mine today.

Gotta love the line "We are please to advise there will be no increase in membership prices for our 150th year, despite an increase in AFL ticket prices (Members who purchase after 31/12/07 will be subject to a $5 late service fee). In what way is signing after 31 December 2007 for a season which starts in late March 2008 LATE? Probably a little rude, I think its more polite to say people who pay early receive a discount.

Also what do people think about only getting one card that you reuse every year - personally I like a new membership card every year. Always good to see which players are on the card and the new design. Don't know about you but my credit cards and licence get a bit wrecked by three years, I'm not sure how holding onto the same membership card for 6 or 8 years will work.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
