Membership Growing

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?

    Never thought we would beat the Saints, hope we can stay in 11th though.

    Don't be upset High Tower, we are 16th with 1 win, they are top with 9, if we were 9-0 we would have more than them I think.

    ....

    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:

    Classic - nice quote. would also like AFL to investigate ...

    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?

    Great job to all who have bought memberships and the ones who are buying now even though we ar the bottom of the ladder!

    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.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
