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

We are now 32,643, 360 up from last weekend, 3000 up,from last year and over 5000 up from 2015. We are tracking ok.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
