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

Go Dees -

Well done mousey, you are now a supporter not a barracker!

The club can't survive without support.

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

eery!!! I also am 22, living in Brisbane, and saved the cash for my first membership this year...Always travelled back down a couple of times a year to watch the boys play, but finally bit the bullet and joined up.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

Excellent work boys!!!

Hopefully this is the year when people who are in two minds actually take up memberships. We need them more then ever!

I'm sick of hearing how well the Kangaroos are going in the membership stakes.

[JACKATTACK 17]

Finally some good news on demonland!

Good to have you.

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...

mousey, i was being a smartarse.

the old nursery rhyme - 3 blind mice, see how they run[ your name is mousey, you,ve got 2 brothers ......]

i did mean it when i said its good to feel the enthusiasm, and by the looks of it, everyone else feels the same.

maintain it as we would be lost without it

see you at the footy

[Yencks 8]

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.

[Sir Why You Little 37,129]

I Made the call last wek. MCC MFC Member. Its only $40 but it all helps

Go Demons

[Demons 32 235]

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!!

[Mousey 47]

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!

[drdrake 3,187]

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.
