Not round 1 yet is it?

    Usually get a heap who sign up on the day of Round one, but I'd be surprised if we were over 33k if we beat Essendon, and 32k if we lose to Essendon.

    Wasn't it our ambitious plan to reach 35k by round 1?

    Was tongue in cheek

    Lol, I wondered after I posted that if you were taking the [censored] ;)

    For what it's worth with the way the numbers look atm, I think they've got no chance of making the 35k either.

    Although actual numbers are important the real number of importance is revenue raised from memberships.

    I have a very good friend as high up as you can go at another club and in his words "the AFL 3 game membership are killing some clubs"

    Sure their numbers are up, but they are now working on getting revenue up per membership. Hope we are doing the same but I'm not sure we are, we are struggling to hold the numbers we have.

    I though I read somewhere that some clubs are selling memberships for 50$

    3 game memberships are BS and shouldn't be counted

    What is a pet membership worth to the club?

    Cost me $25 for my dog to be a member.....He'd bite me if I left him out

    Thanks Boss

    So it should be a $25 donation in tandem with a full membership.

    Did you tick a box to recieve it or is it a seperate transaction?

    Always renew by phone......Saves stuffing it up which I am always capable of...

    BTW....He gets a dog blanket from the club as a reward.....It usually lasts five minutes...

    Haha I bet. Something new to chew on.

    I think the pet membership offered as a sweetener when renewing a full membership is a positive. Tick the box and forget...add it to the visa card...

    30,000 members 10-15,000 at least will have pets.

    That is a sizeable increase in revenue...

    yep all about membership revenue. A club visited my kids school offering free family memberships.

  • Quote

    anyone know how many we sold at the family day? I renewed one for my mum and the guy in front of me was signing up and he had never been a member before.

    The gap to last year is widening not narrowing.

    I would have thought with all the positive signs offeason we would have seen the numbers beating last year. I guess there was a lot more optimism for the Roos effect before last season started and this year people have been hit by the reality bus last year.

    Let's hope the offseason improvements lead to on field improvements and we get a rush of sign ups after the first few rounds. I can't help thinking wins against GC round 1 and GWS round 2 would make a massive difference. Who would have thought even 2yrs ago that this would seem such a stretch. 2 years ago we would have been salivating at getting these two expansion teams in the first two rounds.

    Don't forget the season had started by now last year.

    Not to mention that it seems there is a direct correlation between the number of years as a cellar dweller and, as much as I detest the expression, the pea-heartedness of a team's supporters (I'm sure someone here must have a scientific formula they could provide us with as definitive proof).

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
