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

    edit:-

    *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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
