I'm of similare vintage btdemon but your "arousal" should be kept in hand. We have been excited before, we have been the Jan Feb stars on the track before. We will turn flamboyant footballers with a natural instinct for the game into meaningless running robots who seek positions where neither the ball or an opponent exists The only thing that stops us year after year is the rubbish we have to beat. At the start of every seson I pick us to win the flag. I'm gettin [censored] tired.

I think and hope that we will be pleasantly surprised with the attendance at training. Casey and surrounding areas are a huge growth area for junior footy, we are involved at Rowville and in 2009 we will be fielding 20 junior teams. Accesibility is the thing, and if we advertise it out there, we will get people to training, and we will get on going support, as will the Scorpions. There should be nights of combined training to bring the clubs and supporters together.

If MFC/MCC members that are dropping off are electing to take MFC instead (cost) then I don't see a problem. If they are MFC affiliate that drop off and don't rejoin as anything then that's a problem for us. It surprises me that Rich MCC is so low. again, demographic. p.s. out of how many MCC members?

Your first para is based on what? The rest is [censored].

You paint a beautifull picture...........as it should be !!! Then comes along the AFL............??? I can't wait to go to Casey.

I hope you are not having a go at me, and I am not really proving anything, I am offering an opinion as to why I think the HUGE supporter base difference exists. It's because of this, that we have such a huge task. The "silver tail" thing is another issue which should have long run it's race but unfortunatly still exists thanks to media and other wankers that keep dragging it out. We need to shake it. IF NOT.. If we can affiliate with the MCC (as we should be) have MCG as our training and Admin base, and count MCC members that support MFC as full members then the AFL can get [censored]. Shepparton.... very small considering C C and E and probably related to the ones that were in C C and E hence barracked for them also. p.s. I grew up in the Mid Murray, in a Richmond zone where Geoff Raines came from. When he went to Richmond EVERYONE in district followed Richmond, and I am sure they got memebers from it that are still with them today. That's 30 odd years.

Imagine if all Greeks and Italians that came to Aus during the 40 50 60's were located in areas that supported MFC how many supporters we would have. As their relo's follow, they follow. ie. ess coll carl We are supposedly CBD, Brighton, Toorak etc. Zoneng is what caused most of it. What was MFC's zone?

Put simply, the reason carlton, collingwood and essendon have huge supporter bases is due to immigration.

I've said it before and it looks like i'm gonna say it again. We need to get some of our players walking the maternity wards of our local (or any) hospitals, equiped with a Melbourne Demons "showbag" of goodies for the little takka, (fluffy footy, beanie etc) as well as a complimentary membership plus registration forms for others interested. As well as being a recruitment exercise we could also visit a few others in hospital as a morale lifting exercise for the poor buggers in there, and maybe sway them to the Dees. With the number of sheilas' walking around at the moment ready to pop, if we couldn't pick up a few there is something wrong. There has been a lot of shaggin' goin' on.

MELBOURNE ! I don't give a [censored] about the others. [it starts with F and contains one vowel]

Meccamike, I have read your comments here and on the other thread and to be honest I am not totally comfortable with your approach. I genuinely feel that you do not want to have this dragged through a legal process to establish the jumpers whereabouts, as you have stated, but to come on a public forum, 40 odd years after the event, and paint the picture that you are, can be damaging and upsetting. Maybe your motive in doing so is to get it into the public domain (media) I don’t know. I would be curious to know however, what efforts you have made to speak with Ron regarding this, either in person or via the club. Did you speak to the “right” person at the club, regarding memorabilia when you made your enquiry.? It could be tucked away in a box somewhere. Either way there is only one person that can give an insight into this, speak to him, before discrediting him further on here.

This.....will be a day to behold. I am happy with what I see. Perfect football conditions forecast. Sylvia will kick 5 Wona 3, Miller 3, Dunn 2 Numerous single goalkickers. Ooooze will prove to the Demon world why he is there. Brock and Jonsey will smash them in the guts. I don't care about the backline because it won't go down there. Demons to win by 27 pts Can you tell this is the first game I am able to get to all year??????? Hangin' Out!!!

I would not miss this for anything. Put money on the Dees to upset the Pies. Hey Wreck I need clarification, is that 3 or 4 people accompanying you?

That's [censored]!! He hasn't inherited the bloody Vanuatu thirds. Any player who pulls on a boot at this level should be able to play and be instinctively competitive with the skills they have. Isn't that why they are on the list? We are not the slightest bit competitive.
