Great to see us get beyond the 20,000 mark but I'm like a few earlier posters that haven't received their "stuff" as yet. I renewed the entire family etc. at the same time, they've all got theirs but mine’s missing.

I signed up in early November and have yet to receive anything.

More importantly, I am extremely proud to announce the arrival of our newest fan and soon to be member. Mini Hell Bent arrived 23/1 11:25 am. His name..........How could I go past Jack! Now, what bloody number do I get for his guernsey??

BTW, does anyone have any idea on deals/packages for baby memberships??

Congrats. The lucky little bugger will get to spend his formative years watching us win flags.

That's Great News, a new Demon & Arsenal Supporter....Sweet

Article in The Age today (Jan 24) points out how on-field success translates into membership sales but fails to note that right now Melbourne (20,080) has equal numbers to the Bulldogs (20,078) and Geelong (20, 373) and Carlton (20,102).

We are ahead of Brisbane, Port, Richmond, Sydney and the Roos.

We are miles behind Hawthorn and the Woods (about 40,000 each) but it shows our admin is doing a pretty good job in the face of three tough years. Also, congrats to our fans for putting their money where their hearts are (bought four memberships this week meself).

Cheers Rojik and WYL. Yep, he will start going to the footy this year and he will get used to winning very quickly! Hopefully our ``window`` is still open in 10 years time and he can actually remember a flag or 2!!

[Ryan Dee 140]

Cats = 24,000

Dogs = 22,00

Dees = 20,800

We have been overtaken....by more clubs.

35,00 looks very optimistic now?

[Reality Bus 17]

nah, i definitely think 35k is feasible. remember that a large chunk of members don't sign up till family day, or even till the season starts in march.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,109]

Is anyone else still waiting on their membership kit?

I signed up early November and have not heard a peep from the club! I`m not complaining, but just want to know if there are others in the same boat?

[stranga 328]

Asolutley no chance we will make 35k this year.

The membership ladder is pretty much set in stone yearly. Bottom three = Dogs, Dees, Roos.

Is it me or is it strange that the membership figure only grew by around 1000 in the whole January? Perhaps ppl are waiting see what our NAB form is like?

I'd give the club a call - I signed up around the same time and got my pack in the mail mid-Dec.

I did the same and got mine last friday so yours is probably on the way. Funny thing is I joined the whole family on the same day and all the other kits arrived before Christmas.

[beelzebub 22,306]

Strangely enough not everyone lives, breathes, eats and sleeps football. Some have lives outside of the oval realm, go figure huh!!

Budgets are often stretched and priorities juggled. in this light a lot of members wont part with any monies till they have them, especially after xmas and holidays and getting kids back to school etc. So often its not until 3-4 more pays that some folk have the moula to pay for their beloved footy team's membership

I tip 33,666 as this years tally

I'd definately contact the Club. A mate of mine is still waiting, and it seems that his package went astray in the pre Christmas postal strike in Melbourne.

Thanks for the responses guys, I guess a phone call wouldnt go astray! (unlike my membership kit it seems!!)

[pitmaster 3,089]

All four packs turned up today just two weeks after sign up. Good turnaround by the club.

[Gorgoroth 12,352]

I don't know if we will struggle to get 35k, I do not think we will get to it, as for numbers at the moment, a lot still get theres on the first match day.

for a bit of fun go watch all the people push and shove to sign up 10 mins before the first game, usually a good abusive argument or two

in this day and age yo have to wonder why anyone would do it this way ??? silly to me.

A lot may depend on those first 3-4 games. With momentum comes those still on fences and hiding

i think we might just crack 35000 though Ive previously thought it would be 33,666.

Sure a lot of people wait for those first few rounds to see if it is worth it. Its Crap but that's what they do.

A first up win against the Dawks & 35K is looking achievable.

If after 5 rounds we are 0-5 well then we will struggle to make 30K. Sad but true.

It's on again. What's your prediction. Furthest from the pin buys a Demon's Heartland Membership.

I'm going with 33,897

Ah yes. You're on.

You've gone with a very competitive tally. I'll say 32,757.

*Approximate figures only

Some clubs obviously fairing better than others. Is interesting to note the increase of Pups...dont underestimate the pulling power of players. Hall etc. Geez North are struggling but still better than last year, I wonder how that will pan out as they slide ( and they will ).. Richmond look to be in for a filthy year on and OFF the field.
