2010 Membership Thread

Don't worry re playing more games at Etihad-- play them in China- or Casey..These are the areas where we are developing and will gain tremendous membership over the next few years.China- in particular is exciting..I can see the Chinese holding,say 10% of our whole membership in 5/7 years time.

 

Straight cost-benefit equation. We'd lose money by putting on membership tents at a game like this where we wouldn't sell many memberships.

Why don't you just sign your mate up yourself and then tell him he owes you $50??

It's a good thought Inner, but wouldn't I need his membership card?

Our next two games are home games, he can get it then.

Nope. You'll just need his name, address, mobile & email.

Oh, and jayceebee, let go of the China stuff mate. You're overplaying it epically.

The Melbourne Football Club is officially flying - today breaking its all-time membership record on the back of two wooden spoons two months before the cut-off date.

I knew it. We do have loads of supporters out there-It''s just many have lost interest over the last 30 odd years. But this new group of kids is the most exciting we have had since the early 50's.

People are no longer embarrassed to say the are Demon Supporters-This resurgance is also beautifully timed with the Casey Move. Thanks Jordan McMahon. You have Helped the MFC so much more than you dreamed.

I tip 33,666 as this years tally

Of which you later changed to in another post to 35,000. :)

Should have sticked with your initial.

I'll give you your 33,666 just to make it interesting. ;)

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

I'm going with 33,897

You're looking good Roost It. You might have me covered. The way it's going it could be half way between both our predicted tally's. I'll buy one regardless, like I did last year.

Ah yes. You're on. :)

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

32950

This could be very close.

let's be positive 35851 :wacko:

Need a massive surge.


Is it Drew?

Former Pirate / Old Scotch

No I can say for a fact he is fully paid up already, since that post a excellent member of staff sorted the snafu for me and we are now renewed plus two extras. PM me if your looking to get in touch with Drew.

Cheers

Mark

Hopefully we can sign up many new members this weekend-Darwin could be a very important place for us in coming years.

Thanks for the Figures 45


This tally may contain the new three match memberships, which would be a positive, but not nearly as positive as season memberships would be.

Last years tally included three game memberships as well.

This tally may contain the new three match memberships, which would be a positive, but not nearly as positive as season memberships would be.

Its all $$$ DOF and it's all people who are now in contact with the club.

Full memberships can be taken out next year by the stragglers.

I know this topic has been covered before, but it looks like the other clubs are fudging their membership figures to make themselves look impressive to sponsors etc.

Maybe we should be looking at 5, 3 or even 1 game membership tickets & shamelessly inflate our figures beyond 50,000 like the other clubs.

Cats & Dogs

Tickets of less than 3 matches are not recognised by the AFL, however tickets of 3 or more are, therefore imagine if 25,000 of our MCC members purchased a 3 game ticket? What would our tally be?


Some other clubs tally's: -

Adel N/a

Bris 28,791

Carl 38,934

Coll 56,233

Ess N/a

Frem N/a

Geel 38,601

Haw 52,660

Melb 32,570

Nth Melb 27,900

Port Adel 31,301

Richmond 41,201

St.Kilda 39,547

Sydney N/a

Doggies 33,629

West Coast N/a

Hopefully we can get a little closer to the Dogs tally.

Last years tally included three game memberships as well.

You may be correct 45, but the MFC website states the following in relation to 3-game memberships:

"New in 2010, we are pleased to introduce the 3-game membership for just $84".

"New in 2010, we are pleased to introduce the 3-game membership for just $84".

I do agree with 3 game memberships however; they should be introduced as late as possible - say mid June. This way people wont drop the standard 11 game membership & jump onto the cheaper one.

 

You've got me covered at the current rate, should go close to your tally (white flag is up, well done). I'll contact the club next week for the Heartland M'ship. :)

Well my partner got one last year so I'm not sure why that's written. Also, it's round 9, we probably only have about 6 games left at the G, our membership tally woul stall dramatically if not for this because very few people would buy a full membership at round 9-10.

It's not like it's that cheap either.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
