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. 

100% agree. I enjoy watching our womens team play because they are our team. Im sure it win us some new fans - some who are daughters and sons of dees fans who hadnt really commited, some women who are partners to dees fans and some who come to the mens team via the womens team (the converse of my experience).

The dees should rebuild the melbourne vixens connection (a very short lived dalliance). Demons can be vixens and vice versa

I fully agree with this! Not only Richmond/Hawthorn/Geelong but also Bombers/Kangas/Saints! We have to move swiftly to dominate this League before the other six Victorian teams come snapping at our heels! (BTW> 33,520 members and climbing!)

p.s. I also agree with Binman regarding the advantages of an alliance with the Melbourne Vixens!

I always sign up, and even if we lose 1st up I will still buy a membership (probably after a win) but want to make a point about winning over the Saints. Preseason hype aside, and I loved the Carlton game, I want the club and players to see a bump in numbers after we win during the season.

I am also probably the only bloke going around who buys a membership for his ex and his new missus at the same time. Also one of the few upsides to having four kids is the membership bump, don't bother with signing the dog up.

I'd assume the Norf figure includes 3 game memberships for Blundstone Arena. The Hawks have somewhere around 10k Tassie members, Norf possibly half that.

Also, if you subscribe to the Geelong Advertiser they'll throw in a 16-game Cats' membership. In essence you're getting a free membership.

It annoys the hell out of me that my 16 game Dees membership won't get me into K Park. Little wonder they make half a $mil each home game.

33795 at the end of the first week in March. This is well up on last year. 7,750 up on the same week, five years ago!

A win tonight and this may just keep going.  Fingers crossed and............ yes, no injuries.

We lost (but the girls had a gutsy victory) so we are now 34,310 at the end of week two March. Still tracking well!

Hawks today advertising that if you purchased a 3-game membership you got a full all-home game membership. Little wonder they have 70k plus members.

With the cap on spending in footy areas, once clubs get over a certain revenue figure they may as well give it away to build membership, gain prime TV slots and suck up to their masters in AFL House...

They have 4 Tassie games so interesting to see if they get those replacement games. Otherwise it would be an upgrade from 3 games to 7, rather than 3 to 11.

You're right, was going off this and it didn't register that it said March week 4

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
