Salems Lot

Curious, the membership counter is back up on the club site. 41701 today. 263 in a week. creeping up slowly.... Should be there in 3 weeks at this rate.

Just a side note; I am thrilled that our first 2 draft picks in the 2017 draft are playing already and playing well. Taylor is one of our most important signings in the past 10 years

My 14yo started calling him Charlie Spargoal! Great debut from the big burly fellow (he is my height!)

Wow..surprised..much. Thanks for the heads up McQ

I reckon this is just encouragement at the moment. Good to see that he is in the frame though

interesting from a strategic move; we have less to lose due to lower revenue than the bigger clubs who will feel enormous pressure to get out of this area. We lose $11m but the Filth stand to lose double that.

Hopefully this week's team will make that impossible

Hey LDC, definitely get onto them, I have had a bit of a mess around this year for various reasons but in a nutshell if it has not been sent and they have to re-send to you, they are trying to get them out before round 1. When they re-sent mine it took a good 3 weeks! They mean well but it has been a bit of a schamozzel TBH

Anyone know how the membership tally is going? I miss the rolling counter on the club website

leap year baby?

I thought that he had broken his elbow

Stop dragging this thread around!

1:46 looks pretty good too

Hi All, I just renewed my son's and my membership for next year and was talking with the guy about our current tally. He said that as of today we are sitting on "about" 25,000 putting us 1500 ahead of where we were last year at this time. Apparently they started a bit later this year hence the slow start. He also said I should have my membership before Christmas. Good news all round!!

I will, just not yet!!

Ha! I heard Fev the other night describe defenders as forwards with no talent!

For a split second the footage of him in the rooms looked like he was trying to run through a concrete column!

To get something you have to give something

I disagree about it being only at our club; after all the term was coined in modern parlance by Hawthorn against Essendrug all those years ago. It just seems more exclusively ours because we have had so many lines in the sand before. This does seem different this time. I should add that I am and always will be a hopeless optimist

Only time will tell but my feeling is that it my have proved to be the "line in the sand" for this group. The feeling is that we won't stand for that carp any more. Apart from the first quarter against Norf we have delivered

I am an MCC member but also get the MFC membership to support the footy club. The way I see it the club needs my membership and I give the MCC membership a flogging during the summer. Big Bash, test match and ODIs for me and the young fellow add up to a heap of attendance.

That is a priceless bit of lovin going on. Even James's mum gets involved.

Of course I do Curry; but sometimes watching a thread devolve into a case of school yard "he said - he said" point scoring and finger pointing does not really add much to the experience. This just seems like point scoring and hairsplitting for the sake of it. But you give it your best shot; I am sure that you don't need my permission. "......Closes laptop and does something useful with his life"

Ah hairsplitting the great internet sport.

He certainly speaks candidly; I guess most of us can relate to a moment in life when we find ourselves thinking "wow this is actually happening to me". He told of if very clearly. Love the references to his family. Thy appear to be the double generation blended family. V 21st Century!
