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 :)

    Can someone tell me please - How many members we budgeted for in 2011? Lost my paperwork. Many thanks.

    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.

    Fairly certain it was mentioned at the Future Fund event, and should be found in the associated thread.

    From memory it was 35K

    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.

    A bye this week, in Perth the week after. Then Adelaide at home. Not sure of reaching the 40,000 this year. Be great if we did.

    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.

    Did our membership go down overnight?

    34,706.

    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 !!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
