Round 4 - Gold Coast (away)

Round 5 - Bye

Round 6 - West Coast (away)

^ Not exactly the best time to be purchasing a membership when many can't get to these games. Many buy them at the Membership tents at home games. This may provide an indication to the tally ticking over slower the last couple of weeks.

theres this little thing called ...the phone....something else called the Internet !!

Peoples inclination to purchase is more relevant than proximity to a sales stall....in this century

next few weeks may indicate otherwise

Of course. Maybe I should have included these (phone, internet) - but I didn't exclusively say at membership tents. Not discounting the many who sign up at games. Whatever the case, I'd say more sign up before (the lead up) or at home games.

Clearly as outlined, the last 3 weeks weren't home games.

i understand the idea HT..and its a factor.. but I just have this feeling thered be more knocking on the door ( in whatever fashion ) had we shown a bit more. Many wax and wane...and doenst take much to disenfranchise some. Cant blame some really.

No doubt. Some might well hold off.

Welcome Rusty.

There's two different photos you can upload - IIRC your photo is what appears on your profile page and your avatar displays under your name on all the posts you make. I can see your photo on your profile, so chances are you uploaded to the wrong one

That's my signature. Just go onto your profile, there should be a link called 'Edit Profile' - the option to edit your signature will be in there.

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

I would think so too, but not just prime time tv games, but the 'audience power' of the 'game'. And even the age group of the audience.

Telethon is on tonight, get on board everyone, Jonesy just wrote on facey that its been a hit so far

wonder how many have signed up?

Actually it is 35,205 at the moment.

BUMP

36,937

Looks like that may be the final tally.

Up from the 2010 tally of 33,358. That's an increase of 3,579 members. Well done Mfc. 10.73% increase.

A further 8.3%+ increase next year will ensure 40,000 members.

I'm tipping 38,211 members in 2011.

40.007 in 2012.

1,274 difference.

Don't argue with Roost IT- He has the score on the board...however I think we will get 37960 in 2011

1,023 difference.

Same deal ?

36,878 for 2011 for me.

59 difference.

Yep- he is a better judge than you HT..-By far..and would beat RR by a mile..

Incorrect.

37,000 seems realistic. I'd be happy with that. 40,000 next year would then be very achievable if we perform well in 2011.

63 difference.

I'll take the chocolates and set of steak knives again. Demon Heartland Membership for Roost It. Thanks for playing.

Nice. That's a very good result. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but the 40,000 target was always going to be ambitious. It's a realistic goal for next season, especially given we'll be a likely finals contender.

I'd be interested to know how much money each club generates from membership. There are plenty of 3-game memberships floating around, MCC/MFC affiliate memberships (at least in the past), as well as the odd pet membership for those keen to take their gerbil to the footy.

I'm also interested in where membership goes in the future. Collingwood cracked 70,000 members this year. Practically, there comes a point where Victorian clubs will have to either cap membership or continue to be creative with the packages they offer.

Interesting is it not!

Believe it or not my wife is a Pies member ( she has her teeth and no tattoos )

However she is not going to renew in 2012.

Reason - too many members. She says at the majority of games unless you buy an additional reserved seat

you end up in the top of the stand ( they do give free Oxygen bottles )

As well she says if you bag the wrong supporter you are trapped near a foul mouthed idiot that spoils your day.

Claims this year she has only enjoyed 2 -3 games.

Next year it will be TV for her.

Making noises about Foxtel and "why don't you give up on the Dees

They have been useless for years it won't change next year"

Fat chance is my answer but the pressure is mounting.

Glad I came out of the woodwork .67 more people would be nice .

Before you all criticize ,I paid up after a loss and bought my kid a jumper with 31 on the back .

Sweet times ahead .

36,937 is a solid effort considering where we were in 2007.

2012 we will do even better i have no doubt...Let's hope we can keep this list of players together

I believe the number in 2012 will depend on the results we get from the last eight games.

I struggle to see us winning more than 4.

Port - win

Hawks - Loss even with their injuries

Cats - Loss

Carlton - Maybe ? if we respond to earlier in the year but most likely a loss

West coast - loss , Etihad says it all

Richmond - win

Gold coast - win

Port - win.

4 wins and the last three of the year would make for a positive end to 2011.

That should make the members come back for more in 2012
