I thought McDonald was instrumental in keeping Ablett down to mere mortal number of disposals.

What really annoys me is that the AFL fines a president for this. The Presidents are elected by the members unlike any of those down at AFL house. Who is meant to represent and speak out for the members if the presidents can't.

Hey LIFT not sure if I understand your comment. Are you refering to my brother who lives in Brisbane and suggesting that those who do not live in Melbourne but support the club shouldn't buy a full membership... OR Are you refering to my son who is laughed at regularly at school for being a Melbourne supporter and has been to all but 3 home games in the last 4 years and did want to come on Sunday but was told no by his father due to the weather and the not family friendly time of the game. PS my son will be laughing back in a few years time and he knows that.

I made it along and so did my Mum and my 75 year old Dad who was in Hospital last weekend. But there was no way I was taking my 11 year old out on Sunday night in such bad weather. He has school camp this week, and the last thing he needed was a cold before he went. Absolutely shocking time. Gotta say though that we can't expect all members to show. My brother has a membership, a seat and a social club membership. He lives in Brisbane and so can't get to many games but gets his membership every year to support the club.

I have posted a few photos from the game at: Photos of the Demons IntraClub Game

I have my membership and my sons and we go to amost every home game. Also in some years, when I can afford it, I buy a membership for my wife, and in some years I even buy one for my adult daughter. I think my daughter has been once in 5 years and my wife 2 or 3 three times. This is therefore a donation. I was thinking this year of giving a donation to the debt demolition of about the same amount as a membership, but I am not sure which one helps the club more. A membership has some costs associated with it such as mail outs etc, but it does help with the clubs perceived stength amongst sponsors etc. Anyone have any thoughts as to which is best?
