I was hoping the win might have kicked this along a bit more. Hopefully we will; have it by the end of the week.

    *Note: All data from AFL club websites, except Essendon, West Coast to the best of my knowledge.

    Any updated info on any of the teams, please post it. Especially figures concerning Freo & Sydney which I haven't been able to get just yet.

    Game Day/match day figures are a little confusing at some clubs.......any info on certain clubs......feel free to post. Cheers. I'll update it as the cut off approaches. I'm hoping we knock off the Saints who have been closing in on us of late.

    With two home games against Adelaide and Geelong coming, we should push through the 30,000 barrier comfortably.

    Only 5000 less than Geelong?

    Man it will look good when it ticks past 30,000.

    Fremantles will most likely be well about 30,000 but last i heard the Swans were languishing around the 17,000 mark.

    The Saints under 30,000 surprises me, particularly considering their start to the season. How fresh is this data?

    GO MFC.

    We can and will be a power. Loose the 4WD and snow season tag.

    Well done Jimmy and the team.

    Jeepers, the Saints and Dogs are having trouble aren't they? Preliminary finals, yet neither is at 30,000 yet.

    Meanwhile delusional Carlton supporters are signing up in droves.

    Tata Bang Goal makes a good point though: where'd you get this data from HT?

    Ime guessing Geelong are at that level because their stadium is so small so it would be hard for even members to get a seat.

    Fresher than freshly shucked oysters....- from clubs respective websites which are kept up to date (I'm sure, if they're updating anywhere near as frequent as the mighty Dees seem to be doing). Got Bombers figure from over at 'Corn Fields.'

    What is the total membership dollars extracted for each Club?

    We focus so much on the hard numbers of members without looking at the type of membership they are taking out. They are important but not the sole measure of membership

    Put another way, how many $50 paying members do other Clubs have compared to MFC? Also how many of the members are premium or coterie members?

    It interesting NM had 40+k last year after a can rattle and consecutive finals finishes. This year they are around 27k.

    MFC must ensure any membership growth in $ and numbers is enduring.

    Great point Rhino. The sole reason the Dorks are leading that ladder is because of the Tassie members option they provide for the 4 or 5 games down there. Similarly our figures are artificially inflated by the MCC memberships on offer.

    It doesn't change your very valid point, but last year North's final membership tally was 34,342.

    Good Point RR. The Higher Quality Memberships should come from winning consecutive Games. At present i don't mind if we get a few "Cheaper" members on board as it all helps to expand the Data Base. The hawks 50,000 looks good. This club must aim for that figure in the Future. The MCG has the room for all to be comfortably seated.

    Hawks have around $7000 BS Tasmainian memberships which would deliver little $. Also their figure is otherwise inflated by what looks like a one off post premiership bandwagon.

    and little expense.

    didn't they have well over 40,000 last year anyway?

    so good on them.

    irrelevant thinking point: we've never won a premiership with more than a few thousand members......

    Agree. They had done very well coupled with easy money from the Tassie Govt sponsorship.

    Really surprised at the Doggies. My guess is that they'll be the new financial sucker.

    Good questions. Unfortunately, I don't have each of the clubs treasurer's contact numbers :( ....I'm sure those figures would be published in some form in each of their own yearly reports.

    Don't worry about the doggies, they will be a powerhouse in 20 years after the development in the west goes ahead. I was out there yesterday having a look at the estates. The mind boggles at the number of people that will live out there in the not too distant future.

    Second generation migrant families are a massive future market for footy, Demons and the Dogs are in the box seat for a good slice of those.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
