Its been a while now since we heard anything about our 40,000 membership target. If the West Coast game didn't kill it, then I guess the Carlton game did.

Still it would be nice to use the reserved seat for the Collingwood game to push things up to 37500. 36102 (as it is today) sounds like a clear failure .... whereas 37500 sounds like a narrow miss. For the sake of the credibility of next year's target ( will it sit at 40000 or lift to 42500?), I'd like to see one last big promotion on the back of the Essendon game. The fact that there hasn't been one suggests that the club believes we've hit a ceiling...... until we can realistically promise finals'action

If A) Scully resigns B ) We make the 8 this year C) Mick Malthouse is our new coach I believe we can easily hit 42,500. Carn Dees!

B is unlikely and C won't happen.Can we increase it by 16% on the back of A only?

hoopla,

The club budgeted for 35,000 members for 2011. Clearly a failure.... :rolleyes: (We're now at 36,102 and an update is imminent because the tally has remain unchanged since last week) - nearly 3,000 up on last years tally.

Pre-season saw our tally consistently above last years tally throughout by 2,500-3,000 in terms of numbers. I think it was in March when Jimmy launched the target 40,000 campaign. (Season's launch ?). With consistently good form the club might have gone closer but it was always going to be a stretch. A few bad losses may have had an impact.

You will note that via the clubs website they began a "promotion" as well as at the Carlton & Essendon games for the 3 game memberships. It all depends on your definition of "big"...but it's a promotion nevertheless and a proactive sell point for more memberships.

There is your answer. [Psshhhh...puts out the fire] Credibility remains intact.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
