Membership Growing

Mousey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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?

    Having a cheaper membership whilst maybe inflating the numbers may not increase the monetary figure as people may opt for the cheaper membership instead of the more expensive one....

    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 !!!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
