I'm actually going to buy my brother's their MFC memberships for their Birthday this week! :D

Crazy I know, but I'm guessing the membership department won't be very busy....

well done the club needs all the help it can get

Perhaps we could put next week's game against Geelong up for sale to the highest bidder too - perhaps something good can come from the round that in future years we will come to know as the 'matchus horribilus '!

Pretty sad to see an unmanned melbourne fc membership table in the mcc yesterday. Would have done the dual signing if someone was actually sitting there. The club doesnt do themselves any favours eh?

you can do it online, i.e. right now, if you really want to

an unmanned membership table -

Tell me what president allows that pathetic sh1te to happen ?????

do they actually look into these things? does Gardner etc know it even exists. f$ck me, thats like Bailey starting with 16 men on the field.

F$$$$$$cccckkkkkkk this club is frustrating!!!!!!

I believe it was unmanned from the end of the first quarter - just as the ones outside are.

I'm not sure, but this could be an AFL regulation thing to prevent blocking up internal and external crowd movement?

Not sure though.

Hehehe there was a paddock of room in the mcc yesterday. Dont think it was blocking anything.

What a pisser - c'mon demons members, this is funny and God knows we need a laugh right now!

Reasonably amusing, but the snow jokes will be wearing thin in a couple of weeks if we don't get a win soon.
