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)?

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.

:lol: :angry:

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
