2011 Membership Running Tally

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 :rolleyes:

    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. :P 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.

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
