We have a Country/Interstate type membership that gives the members limited number of games for $110.00. I note that Hawthorn's cheapest ticket for their Tasmanian members is $60, which gives them general entry into ALL 4 games played at Aurora.

Hawthorn state that the AFL recognises these memberships & are therefore allocated in their overall membership tally of 50,000.

I think Melbourne should consider a $60/4 game ticket to make available to those members that either can't afford a standard ticket OR are unable to make it to all home games. Not sure what extra numbers this would attract, but the Dorks have over 6,000 Tasmanian members!!!

What do people think?

Does anyone know if our number includes the automatic renewels that are sent out by the club? Is the figure paid up members only, or does it include all the renewals they hope will turn into paid up members?

I received memebership cards for myself and two kids months ago, but only got around to filling them out and returning them today. Will the membership go up by 3 or are just 3 of the already counted members just been confirmed?

If true that represents a very good profile of members.

8,000 die hard Hawks is a fantastic contribution.

12,000 juniors augurs well for the future.

It would appear they have very few concessional adult ticket holders. I wonder what clip they get off 19,000 reserved ticket holders.

Well down Hawks. Hell they have an ugly jumper!!

Should do a special Promo for the 30,000th member, offer a free membership to the person that is the 30,000th member only if they sign up on Sunday, it would be plucking a person and hopefully we have 300 sign up but pick a kid how excited would the kid be to win.

Good idea drdrake. But the club would want to get onto it pronto. 30,000 mark might well be passed on Sunday.

30000 now a certainty. Well done to all involved.

Neil Mitchell rung by Colin Sylvia off air to join membership. Neil said Colin didn't know who he was nor did he know what 3AW was when he told him. They had an interesting chat. Neil said to Colin to tune in next morning and he would hear him interview the Prime Minister. Colin asked how John Howard was and then said oh no its that other guy.

My points are that a lot of footballers are not too bright and we should cut them some slack some of the time and that it is good to see the boys helping with membership sales.

PS. On a footy show the boys were shown singing the club song after the win and I have never seen our team sing so enthusiastically after a home and away win. If anyone doubts what winning means to players have a look at that vision.

Carlton has almost increased by 1800 members since last update.

Melbourne increased its lead over Sainters as they embark on the 30,000 mark this weekend.

Nth Melb overtook Western Bulldogs (Dogs haven't given update yet).

Contacted both Sydney and Fremantle membership departments for their figures. Fremantle won't let out they're figure until the cut-off I was told, but I managed to smooth talk an approx. figure out of them. ;)

* Are Sydney & Brissy figures a worry do you think for the AFL in terms of GC17 and WS18????

A disgrace I reckon that Mitchell isn't already a member. Is he still giving his money to the Bulldogs?

I'm so glad that this is going so well.....

Last nights TV seemed to be a success (well done to all involved on the phones and to Millsy on The Footy Show), and hopefully it will flow into today as well.

We're nearly at our desired destination (but not stopping hopefully), and I for one am so proud of this club and of its members :D !!!

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
