wouldn't have thought there'd be many more to come, 3rd quarter of round 2 probably closed a couple of thousand wallets

It did here!

No, not really. I was going to buy membership this past game against Brisbane(my 1st for 2011) but didn't go due to weather. I am planning on going to Melb v Adelaide so will buy one then :)

I can't tell you for sure, but I reckon it would have been mentioned in one of the AGM-related threads so you could search there.

From memory it was a couple of thousand more than last year.

Thanks Rogue- I agree-Ithought 35500 but not sure. I have tried to search but cannot find it. I thought, HT or RR would have known this info straight away.Anyhow - thanks to you.

HT & E25 thanks for your replies. HT,it was either 35000 or 35500.We will romp this amount in. Great effort by the club. I was not referring to you as genie- just you as a genius. You seem to have a great insight when it comes to numbers re members.Also I thought Andy or WJ may have known. Not the end of the world- we move on -Go 40000.We will reach this amount -sometime.

Was interested to see how sparse the Hawk's members areas were when we played them last week. Seemed like it was only half full. Interesting given there 52,759 members. This compared with how full the same areas have been for the 2 home games we have had so far, where it has seemed to be 70 to 80% full. I would reckon we have more members who pay for a reserved seat and other higher premium memberships.

Their site says 52,759 with 8,115 from Tasmania. Would love to see the break down by club but I bet the Melbourne memberships are of a higher value on average than many if not all of the other clubs.

The AFL wouldn't want it, but rather than just publishing membership numbers I'd like them to publish membership revenues as well.

With so many dodgy membership types I wouldn't be surprised if some club's numbers don't align the same with their $$$s

The numbers are just window dressing now. The revenue is the bread and butter.

(yeah I know sponsors might be impressed with numbers but they're not really that dumb)

I think they can be...

Nah, I believe sponsors look more to exposure on FTA. We are slowly getting more but are not near the levels enjoyed by others...

The finacial guy said that we had budgeted for 35,000. The most interesting thing is that in response to a question about what 40,000 members would mean to us, he said about $500,000.

well i hate to be the one to put a kibosh on this but I think the club can safely kiss goodbye any notion of reaching 40000 this year and getting over 35000 will now be a struggle after last nights pathetic effort. Al those fence sitters will have packed up and gone home now. Cant really blame them

Unless the club acts swiftly and comes out on the front foot. As Bad as last night was, it may be a positive in the long term.

I am waiting to hear a statement from the club. Not just an email, but a statement.

"Paul Roos is now the coach of Melbourne, he will name his assistants in the coming days. All bar Todd Viney have been asked to pack their bags and F off. Viney will become the midfield coach. Players Newton, Dunn, Strauss, Maric, Davey, Morton, and Bennell have been told they will be playing at Casey until they learn to 1. Put there heads over the ball 2. Put their bodies on the line. 3. To never shirk a contest and 4. Show some real passion for the colours pink and blue. If they can't do this by the end of the year they will also be told to F off."

Yes, something along those lines. It's time we gave the Footy World a scare, being a nice footy club will never win respect.

I'm unemployed at the moment fellas, and because of that I couldn't afford my membership this year. I live in Sydney and don't get to go to any games unless I can afford to go to Melbourne. I still like to get my memership if I can. Because of all this, I was going to ask the folks for a membership for my birthday next month. Not anymore, unless the club takes REAL action or even a proper, meaningful response. I just can't justify spending money I can't afford on supporting a club which doesn't want to win. Especially when I can't go to games.

well ... unfortunately I think the wheels have fallen off our membership 'growth' wagon :(

Suffice to say any real improvement in that number will be directly proportional to our success over the next months.

currently at 34901... only 99 for the magical 35000 but I think Dale Kerrigan would have something to say about 40000 !!

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
