    The real test for North will be in the following years. I doubt they will be able to sustain those figures which arose from the desperate situation the were in. Many memebers would have more than one membership, people from other clubs have bought in (heard from many talkback callers). Time will tell.

    Easy on praising North Melbourne's marketing.

    About 5,000 of those memberships are 'statistically anomolous' children memberships.

    In other words, not a big growth in adult members, just a whole lot of people signing up their kids as official members (and dogs, and turtles). It could go either way - those kids (and dogs and turtles) could hold on and become a boosted next generation of supporters and members, or the boost could just evaporate once the membership-buying from the "fightback" has subsided.

    They haven't had anywhere near as much of a boost to attendences. It's a little worrying.

    Meanwhile, what da farkn ell is going on at the Doggies?

    If I'm reading that right, WE have just passed them for memberships, with one win for the season (and pre-season) compared to their loss-less run with exciting attacking football and a thrilling draw for spice.

    All, up, we're doing better than I'd expected, almost matching last year's membership already, and our attendences haven't been too bad (still on 30,000 average after three games, despite two low-drawing opponents, Doggies and Freo).

    Should look a little healthier after the Hawks game, too. Special Bonus for round 9 - neither Melbourne (playing at AAMI) nor Hawthorn (playing at Aurora) play in Melbourne the previous week, plus theres the gap for the Origin game, so a lot of people will be hungry to get to a game.

    Should be a good crowd. Let's hope we can put a good fight up over in Adelaide to keep the momentum going.

    Slightly OT - but I possess a North Membership (Also a Dees one of course) and will continue to purchase although I'm 100% Red & Blue and was filthy after our loss in Round 4.

    North are a good club and part of the reason I bought the membership was that I wouldn't like it if the AFL tried to make such a move on us. The AFL's standover tactics sending out lies about the benefits of immediate expansion through their attack muppets Messrs Smith & Co in the media just reeked of arrogance and smacked of AD trying to create a legacy for himself (When did 2015 turn into 2011??).

    Interestingly anyone notice the bottom two clubs (and the states they hail from) on the #2 post tally?

    Back On Topic - our membership tally is impressive given our poor start and reputation for having fickle supporters. Hopefully will shut a few of the clowns in the media up.

    Why would you waste your money? Melbourne membership numbers have been low for years, why not spend that spare cash on a second MELBOURNE membership? I did. Let North supporters worry about North, we have our own problems.

    State loyalty is one thing, club loyalty is another.

    If I ever buy another club's membership, aim carefully and take one shot.

    Demitriou wants the Kangaroos to survive in Melbourne ahead of the Dees. & He is a Nth Melb ex player..

    If it's out of us & them, Demitiou would send us packing in a heartbeat, & your helping him.

    AD has no sense of history. loathes us for being old. in his world the teams would all be "western suburbs combined timberwolves"; "northern heat"; "parramatta jazz". forget that we started this whole thing!

    How about buying 2 Melbourne memberships instead. Screw North and look after your own backyard first!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
