In a few years time when we are sitting atop with 8 zip next to our name, our membership tally will be way above 45,000. That is a really poor figure for the Saints considering the way they are going.

I would've thought the Saints might have more than 31k at this stage, given they're 8-0, but if they keep going as well as they are, they could easily get a few more thousand before the cut-off date.

If we could crack the 40,000 members mark in a few years that would almost be beyond belief, especially given our membership numbers just a few seasons ago. I hope we can do it, anythings possible i suppose!

we aim to please ;):lol: !!!

Speak for yourself, I'm here for the free booze :lol: <_<

We're creeping up very slowly now, which is to be expected.

Doesn't the Footy Show have one final big membership drive for all teams? Do they still do that, and if so, when does that happen?

....

The AFL should investigate how many of those Richmond members still have their membership ticket in one piece and in their possession. I reckon its 50% no more. :lol:

How many of those Hawthorn 51,681 are living breathing human beings - Budgies, cats & dogs, pet rats etc should not count.

nearly 31!!

This is unbelievable. People just keep buying them. 31k would have to be a big line to cross this year. Just shows what a solid month of footy can do. Imagine what will happen if we string a few wins together early next year?

Updates: -

1/ Hawks have surpassed 52,000 in a canter

2/ Geelong have moved into the top 8, until such time we can get confirmation of Fremantle's membership tally.

3/ The likes of Collingwood and Carlton have crept up a couple of hundred each. Suspect Bumbers have increased since their 40,000 announcement.

4/ St.kilda haven't updated since last week, we've trimmed the margin back at the Dees ;) - Perhaps a win over the Saints could help us knock them off!

5/ Roos have jumped the Dogs again until the next update from the Kennel.

6/ Port Adel went backwards for some reason. they're department must of mis-calculated. (from 29K+ back to 28,333)?

7/ No word from Swans

8. Lions had a small increase.

Next update will be after the QB weekend.

Gee, the Bulldogs really are struggling to drum up support, given that they're 3rd on the ladder. Poor them, they deserve it.

If Hawthorn's season continues on the way it's been going so far, their membership figure for 2010 could be 10,000 down on this year (at least).

Agree on this. The question mark on Hawthorns 2009 membership total is its sustainability. I can't see them repeating the figure next season without another good result this year. Just looking around the crowd the other week when we played them, I wasn't surprised to see many Hawks supporters wearing no Hawks gear except for their new 2009 membership scarves. I read that the number of Hawks supporters who either signed up for the first time or renewed their membership again after lapsing for a few seasons, was around 14,000. So yeah, sustainability is the question mark.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
