32279 (up 150 since the weekend) so not quite smashing it yet despite our two wins over the Premiers and the family day! Let's just keep the momentum up and keep selling the message!

 

Yeah I would've been expecting double that, oh well its looking promising still!

you were expecting 64,560? wow that's optimism :o

 

Just a thought... but if the memberships they took over the weekend were paper based or need some sort of manual entry or credit cards run etc. then that data would only be entered today or tomorrow and show up in the updated numbers on the website by Tuesday or Wednesday. I think there will be a jumpin numbers from the weekend in the next day or two

The 32,279 was the number in the morning and wasn't updated all day so you may well be right!

32,498

Hoping we catch the saints in membership numbers eventually (they are sitting at 34,066 today).

Noticed they have a new flexi-membership and it's a great idea to me. They state: "Our latest membership is all about being flexible. Come to all 11 games or just come to one game but bring 10 of your mates too. Use your 11 General Admission tickets however you like, it’s your choice! " http://www.saintsmembership.com.au/

Smart marketing, especially if at the end of the season you have missed 3 games and its the last match, you could bring 3 mates with you and feel like you got 100% value out of it.

Go Dees

P.s. North melbourne sitting at 32,485 today too.

What a great idea. All clubs should have that. Would also be good for country/interstate memberships - using all 5 to go with 4 mates.

Definitely and definitely.

An option to also get an all-purpose discount when bringing people with you would be good, too.

The stadiums would love it, everyone drinks and eats more in a group.

32,899 (& climbing)!

Will be interesting over the next two weeks compared to last year.  This year we have maintained an increase of around 3,200-3,500. Last year, the first week of March memberships jumped over 1,000 and the 2nd and 3rd weeks jumped over 2,000 each week. Everybody must get back on deck in March. 

We've had a great start to the pre season comp which you'd hope would translate to more memberships than the same time last year.  If we do we could be around 38,00 by the end of the 3rd week of March. We'll smash the 40,000 Holy Grail if that happens.

Agree, our increase to 2016 has been static at around 3,200-3,500 since October.

Re the March 2016 increase - last year the family day was Feb 28 so the impact was more in March so I wouldn't expect the early March increase to be as high this year. 

I'm not as optimistic as your good self, re the end of March figure.  A while back I posted we could reach 35,000 by round 1 and 45,000 for the year (end of July). The figure that really counts is the Final so I'm sticking with 45,000!

The figure I'm sticking to is 42-43,000 based on the increase over last year and the fact that in the past few years the major increase seems to happen right at the beginning and is just maintained not increased through to the end. However, I'm a bit more optimistic this year based on an expected improvement in our performances in the pre season and early part of the season. We'll see. There's still a lot of previous members who didn't sign up last year. As PJ has said in the past, the Club broke their confidence and has to win it back. I would say they should have gone a long way to doing that now and those people have a lot more of a reason to come on board now. 


Just increased the numbers by two - a full mcc/mfc premium membership with a complimentary junior membership

Young Sam has an exciting period in front of him and can't wait to see the Dees in action this year

Go Demons!!!!!!!

This 3,500 up on last year and 6,000 up on the previous year. The momentum is building.

 

I wish @george_on_the_outer would put it in the right cell on his summary thread i.e. week4 Feb

Impossible to know but I wonder how many extra members will be down to the inclusion of women's league? The Dees are probably the best team to watch, certainly of the Melbourne based sides, and have the most recognisable player. Seeing the number of number 6's on the backs of kids jumpers I'm guessing isn't down to Jordan Lewis. Getting a rock solid foothold in this market before the inclusion of sides from Richmond/Hawthorn/Geelong get started could help secure a financial bonus for years to come.

  • 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.

    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.
