Gee the Lions are a worry aren't they, 23,000 members, financially struggling, not doing well on field, competing with a very strong suns side in Queensland and no doubt losing members, sponsors and so on to them.

And $10m in the hole with under-funded facilities waiting for them in the middle of nowhere.

Quick pat on the back to us, I've been thinking about it the last few days but **** we actually do have a committed supporter base.

Last year Rd 21, all hope lost, no reason to attend and destined to lose by 100+ points 14,000 showed up against Fremantle to see us get spanked.

We got 20,000 to the GWS game too.

North Melbourne are meant to be Top 4 and can garner only 37,000 members. Our average attendance this year is 31,000 and we've played games against GWS, GC, Sydney at home. NM a finals contender and WB (self-assessed team on the rise) have averages of 27 and 29k respectively.

It grinds my gears to hear other teams call us fair weather supporters when years and years of rubbish and we've sat through it.

So proud of our supporters and finally we are reaping the rewards.

You would have said the same thing about Port Adelaide 18 months ago. Having said that, I don't think Brisbane are in any position to turn around so quickly like Port did.

Thanks some interesting numbers

3 game members are as much members as any other package. Still have voting rights and still support the Demons.

I only get a 5 game country membership because of how far away I live and how few games I can get to a year but I'd like to think that I and so many other members who can't get to every game are as much apart of this club as anyone who sign up year after year.

Same. Probably can only make 2 - 4 games a year coming over the pond...

Keep in mind the rubbery nature of what a "member" actually means with different definitions used at each club. I'm not actually concerned about what each club defines as a "member" but comparing clubs' member numbers is a reasonably fruitless exercise because of it.

Best number in those stats are our sign ons since May 1st. Supporters are coming back.

And that is following on from a decade of 3 premierships in '01,02 & 03. Imagine if we had that recent success! We would be looking at 75k members. I guess if we have these numbers after all these years imagine how we will look following on from some on field success.

Member numbers are extremely misleading. It includes all types of shifty categories like 3 game members, interstate/overseas members that pay heavily discounted subs, MCC members etc. A more accurate comparison would be to show total revenues received from all membership categories.

That depends on whether you're counting cash or people.

yes et. i'd love to see membership figures expressed as $s

i suspect the "ladder" might shift a little

No problem, AFL will send in some master ex-CEO on a "temporary" assignment, throw a couple of mil at them, rope in a coaching maestro who will bring in his entourage and abracadabra, they will be playing finals again in no time.
