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.

I just HOPE SO MUCH we can win Round 1...Round 2 against the Pies is an away game but we could make some good coin on that day.. Round 1 win Round 1 win..............

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?

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
