I don't want them but unfortunately the club needs them

What??

We need every member we can get. How else do you expect to fill the 'G??

    are we already able to sign? i haven't seen anything on the club's site saying so.

    Membership site up and running tomorrow according to MFC twitter. The hotline was also working last week.

    People were signing up in droves apparently.

    Waiting for my renewal notice.

    I have spoken to a handful of supporters over the weekend who said they'll re-join, even though they swore after round 23 that they've had enough and are giving up their memberships.

    We've just gone from struggling for 25k members to probably pushing 40k.

    A few good early wins, or some Jesse Hogan magic, and maybe we can push 42-43k.

    Oh Paul Roos!

    We were are 33k this year, after a 5 year high of 36k.

    40k is a possibility, but I'd be happy with just covering the short-fall this season.

    Ps, struggling for 25k?

    I thought we got close to 38/39k a few years ago when we were aiming for 40k during Jimmy's time!

    We need to aim for at least 40k again and as I've said previously, if the stars align we should be able to hit around 45k.

    We (the club) need the money and the supporter base!

    I'm not disputing how much the club needs the supporter base.

    But membership grew by around 10% (pa) from 2008 when it was at 29k and peaked in 2011 at 36k, then rallied slightly and dropped down to this years 33k.

    I thought Jim was aiming for consecutive growth and to get above 33k.

    Aim high, but realistically the club has to win back the 3k members they lost this year, let alone an additional 4k of members. All I know is that there is a direct positive correlation between results and memberships.

    Roos alone should raise membership numbers - but they need to show some results to get above the 40k bracket.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
