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!

    Richmond and the Tigers! (I assume you mean Kangas)

    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.

    Obviously just loves the club so much he's willing to put that to the side ;)

    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!

    Down on last year for the first time. Early wins will be crucial.

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
