Not a pointless thread mousey.....

Congrats on becoming a member for the first time.

Buying a membership this season is something I haven't done yet (although with money coming in this week it will be taken care of).

And good luck in the recruitment of your mates :) !!!

Good Work mousey

I can only hope that you do 'crack' your mates.....and you all end up with Gold Membership Cards in the future.

By the way, if it is not too much trouble, have a crack at some stangers up there too while you are on a role :lol:

Go Dees - :wub:

not sure if i understand what your saying mate? can you explain?

Yeah well i got my girlfriend into AFL, when we started going out 3 and half years ago she hated it with a passion only cause she never gave it a chance as rugby league is all people talk about here back then, anyway i converted her to a dees supporter and not just a slight conversion, she lives, breathes and sleeps it like me, and hates rugby league now :) calls them all wankers haha

Well done Mousey! I wish there were more like you amongst our 'fair weather' supporters. I have lived in Canberra for the last 38 years and I'm a Platinum Member of the mighty MFC. I was lucky enough to live through the glory years of the 1950's and early 1960's and I can tell you its a great feeling. I hope its not too long before you experience it first hand!

Go Dees!1

Nicely done Mousey... You are TOTALLY fishing for compliments... Thus:

...

Ahem...

...

Good on you mate... This, I reckon, is what maes me LOVE places like demonland... you can get an honest message out there, and have supporters have a more educated group mentality... Mousey, you sound like the only reason you're joining now is cos you couldn't before, so while you're not EXACTLY what I'm talking about, my point still stands.

I salute you... and want to see you make a thread in 20 years fishing for us to congratulate you for sticking with us that long...

I know how you feel. It feels like 'job for the boys' sometimes and if you don't have the right connections, it's tough for juniors.

Good luck.

Well I am also happy to say that my 2 brothers and I are all going to be MFC members this year.

Convinced the oldest to sign up, he never did cause in all honesty he isn't a big time supporter. Actually isn't really a supporter of sport in general, I just came to the conclusion of he has the money easily, so sign up!!

I have been buying a junior membership and donating to the club for years now but never bothered signing up myself.

However me and my other older brother (middle of the 3) are signing up this year!

We just never bothered because we are already MCC members and there is nothing and MFC membership can do for an MCC member. And before that we just went as guests to every game in the AFL members with our Dad. But fair enough at that time I was below 16 and really couldn't afford a membership.

But now as we have become older (19 and 23) we not only have the funds but realise it is our responsibillity to become members.

What right do we, or any of us who claim to be Melbourne supporters, have to go to every game in Victoria and see our great team play if we are not members, if we are not doing even more to help our club, help them to not just survive, but push forward into a new era. An era where we leave behind, but respect, the past 40 odd years and look forward to a safe and vibrant future.

I know what I am doing next pay day. Signing up, and so we all should. I won't be doing the 40 dollar membership crossed with the MCC. As I believe that isn't enough respect for the club.

I am going to be buying a 150 dollar MCC/MFC membership, two 55 dollar junior memberships. One for my niece and one to donate back to the club to try and push on some kid somewhere, and I will be buying one for my slowly but surely budding MFC supporter of a girlfriend. It has taken to our 3rd year but she is beginning to ditch her history with the Saints and join the Melbourne Football Club.

I plead with all of you to do the same. Re-join. Join for the first time. Feel the pride that Mousey is. Convince people you know. Do everything you can. Let's turn it around.

Go Dees!!

great post demons 32!!

I just checked on the dees site and the membership counter has changed too - 18, 103, which isnt a big difference from the last number that was on there!!

I know we have been dogged a bit from the AFL with the pre-season not giving people in melbourne a chance to actually go see our team, which probably reflects to some extent our bad membership numbers but.... why is it so low? Are we the lowest in the AFL right now!

I wish i could do more!

well done you are one of the 300 people who have joined up in the past three weeks according to updated figures we are just over 18,000 members, if people don't start to join we will be the club in Western Sydney. Don't kid yourselves that we will be right because we ae Melbourne a name is easy to change. If you haven't joined please do.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    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
