Looking at the membership numbers posted we look to be travelling okay. I would be one of those optimistic souls who thinks we will surpass the magic 30,000 without any drama. All we need is a competitive start to the year and should we pull off a win or two that will be a bonus.

Dogs 19,688

Lions 20,931

Saints 24246

Power 24,357

DEES 24,453

Cats 25,000

Tiges Cant work out whether the matchday figure of 31,052 includes non Matchday of 7,738 As Pauline says "Please explain"

C/tank 32,161

Pies 36,318

Hawks 43,924 Include approximately 7,000 here in Tassie. With all our Tassie background this should have been us. Green, Febey, Febey, Lyon, Marquis, etc, etc,

    i rekon that looks pretty good to me Febes..i mean we are only a few hundred off the Cats who are the reigning Premiers. imagine if we cant beat there memberships after rd 1. Stick it to the AFL. Just wondering tho where did u get that figure? i looked at the MFC website and the counter still says 22,833. I have seen the 24,000 figure floated around and think it may have been in an email update too. can u confirm the figure source plz.

    I think its because they have limited seats in their stadium so they can't sell as many conventional memberships as other clubs.

    It doesn't matter though as their gameday profit far outweighs the negative.

    True.

    Thanks for clearing that up mate.

    Just to set the record straight.

    All the figures quoted came from the individual club sites. Those not shown didn't have any mention of numbers at all.

    Now on one G.Lyon. Son of Peter and born in Devonport, Tasmania. Peter was the captain coach of the Devonport team. Then when GL was but a small lad the family moved, (I think back), to Kyabram.

    Right on the money there, but I hope we and nth for that matter turn up in our 1000's. A crowd of under 45k will be a failure in my eyes for rd 1 weather permitting. Any chance of 25k by the start of next week?

    There's a chance of a crowd of 25k unfortunately

    45k will be a stretch for a Sunday 1pm game.

    Hoping for more, but with our position and prospects for this year...

    Not getting to 45k isn't failing.

    rnd 1, 2 vic sides playing. We have 25k members + MCC + General tickets + Roos fans should be well above 40k. Not rnd 18 after a poor year for either club.

    I suspect MFC will have 25-30k there, it will be the roo boys that let us down if we are well under 40k.

    We played round (4) last year in the game that was moved from the Gold Coast.

    It was the Kangaroos "let's show the AFL why we're staying in Melbourne and get along to the game" game.

    23,000?

    Monty,

    25k members wont front to the game. Often its less than a third of members that do go to a game. I would expect possibly half of the MFC members will. Many of the MFC members are also MCC members and will sit in the MCC.

    A nice day...30 to 35k.

    45k is a pipedream.

    Thats right and our form was setting the competition alight rd1-3 last year! Nth is the problem we will be lucky if 5-10k of their fans turn up. I can't understand why they are staying in vic with no supporter base. What will happen if/when they have a couple of bad years. 1st game of the year, like I said if we have less then 25-30k MFC fans turn up

    Well we're not exactly blowing the doors off the place now either.....

    I agree with Rhino, anything over 30 000 and we will be having a pretty good day.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
