How many are three or five game memberships that some clubs offer?

Well Collingwood have memberships from $50. No wonder they get so many a year.

    Exactly, now I'm not knocking anyone's financial situation or circumstances but for mine the only memberships that should be counted towards a club by club tally are the 11,17 or 22 games.

    I think it's to do with people that pay monthly rather then all at once, first monthly payment due 2nd Nov. I got a form sent with auto roll over plus upgrade options they wanted it in this week.

    Thanks Al. I usually pay in one hit so that maybe a factor. I haven't received any paperwork yet so I guess the next few days will tell.

    So I've been hold to 1300 DEMONS for the last 90 minutes....

    Apparently there's some cut off tomorrow for a prize, I just had a free moment to try and call to renew and sign up the better half.

    Edit: finally got through, renewing now!

    I'ts not surprising. About half of those will be MCC members members who ticked the joint membership box during the finals season (like me).

    I think this is probably the real reason for our large membership number. No other club gets that space on the MCC form, and that renewal happens in August, meaning that by then there are a stack of MCC/MFC members already signed up, before most other clubs are even thinking about membership for the upcoming year.

    Nonetheless, good to see people getting on board.

    yeah man, it's for their new training centre. Watch the video and read about it, looks pretty radical if you ask me:

    Yer - makes me sick to think that they can cheat - get caught and then go and hide in their multi million dollar "High performance centre".

    Equality and integrity obviously mean something different in Demetriou's vocabulary.

    It because most of them can not count above 50

    So it's not because it takes most of them a whole year to get $50 to their name? :P

    After all we did start life as the Melbourne Cricket Club Football Club (and it is a shame that we didn't stay as such). Absolute travesty that Collingwood, Richmond & Co. call this their home ground whilst we get shunted off to either play home games at Etihad or Sunday 'twilight matches'!

    Very happy member, got my membership yesterday and have reached 10 consecutive years in the Redlegs. Lost track of how many specky's have been pulled down at the Punt Rd end.

    If we market this, I think that we might be surprised how many closet Dee fans we can enrol in the Roos vision. I am sure that I can get a number of disillusioned mates to buy in, especially when we may actually be able to go to the footy like old times and see us have a red hot go!

    They seem to get counted at Hawthorn.

    As a postman I lost count of the amount of Hawthorn memberships addressed to Princess, Spot, Rex, Fluffy and Tweety that get delivered.

    You are incorrect T34, they are all board members at Whorethorn. I believe their success can be put down to animal instincts.

    Disagree. Members should be counted whether they attend or not. Not everyone lives near a ground where AFL is played or can attend for other reasons (such as physical disabilities) and those people should be encouraged to become members and made to feel welcome.

    It doesn't matter how much someone pays to be a member from the point of view of counting - just that they have the passion and want to belong.

    I don't think we're on the same page. Discussion was centred around who has the most members. From a fans point of view it's for bragging rights, from a clubs it's financial. 11(meaning your clubs 11 home games) 17(meaning all Victorian games) 22(meaning all games) in my opinion should be the only memberships counted when acquiring a total. No one is suggesting that people that can't attend or have disability or are black or white aren't welcome, but if clubs are counting 3 game memberships or pet memberships it gives a misleading figure.

    For what's it worth I moved to Sydney four years ago but keep buying my membership with the knowledge I will only get to the G about 4-5 times a year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
