Would have loved to have a chat with a player. :(

Next year, no early renewal for me.

maybe there should be a small discount if you renew early. otherwise no-one will sign up until they get a call from the skipper :wink:

It was so funny last night because i was reading on here that players were calling last yrs members and bam 15 mins later Nathan Burke is on the phone.

His voice was so funny when i told him that i had renewed like 5 mins earlier

I did think that the initiative could back fire like this....

But just be careful, the site drunks will be all over you like a rash.

While we'd all love a call from the players, and it does feel like a reward for those who don't renew, I hope we're all joking when we suggest we'll wait for a call before signing next year.

so having players speak to people who havent renewed for the year (or better still, those that havent renewed for a number of years) gets the membership way over 30 thousand is better than not having players phone and the membership stays around 27 thousand?

granted..everyone should just renew anyway...but that doesnt happen does it.
i think its a great idea.......the players should be ringing people DAILY!!!
id ring u buggers if i was a player 8-) 8-) 8-)

Didn't all early subscribers receive the Harvey DVD????

Are we not supporters who want our club to thrive and prosper, I renew as early as possible so the club receives the money early.

The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

Can't believe people would renew late just at the off chance a player might call them up...

Go down to training if you're that desperate,or even better,stalk them home and sleep in there front yard

Think you may have misunderstood what I was trying to say. I just meant I hope those of us who usually sign up early continue to do so and not hang out just to get a phone call.
I actually think the calls to lapsed members is a great idea. Anything that boosts our numbers is great, and I'm sure there are many who'd find it harder to say no to a player than to a "random" on the other end of the phone.

yeah ill just jump on a plane and come over for training...
not everyone lives in vic.
and tell me....
what diff does it make to the club if i renew in november or april??
they get the money either way.
the club wont go broke from me not paying $105 in nov and waiting till april.
i bet that over 50% of people would either, renew lapsed memberships or upgrade if they knew they had a chance to chat with a player for 5 mins.
victoria isnt the only state in the country ffs
