The 2017 Membership Thread

Recommended Posts

I may have missed it, but have we been doing the big discount memberships like some of the other clubs?

Today Geelong are selling home game memberships (11 VIC games) for $99.00

A couple of weeks back I think it was North who upgraded anyone who bought a 3 games membership to a 11 match home game membership.

If we are not doing this, why not? 

Obviously we'd lose a little $ in the short term, but if those new members stay on, then surely it'd be beneficial in the long run?

Well I re-signed my mum up on the day of the melbourne/carlton pre season game at Casey which was 3 weeks ago. I filled out the form and the girl said she couldn't process payment but wrote down my credit card details on the form. So far 3 weeks later money hasn't been taken from my account so it obviously hasn't been processed. I emailed the membership department on friday as I work before and after office hours and got no response. 

So at some satge 1 more will be added to the total. Just hope they haven't lost my form. 

More than likely they will charge u twice!!

Not sure of exact numbers but Geelong are playing a lot of Home games at Etihad as their ground is not available, and their members probably won't go up the highway. 

North play a few Home games in Tassie so their Vic members don't travel there.  That deal is probably pitched to Tassie members.

In both cases they are not giving much away.

We will probably offer that sort of deal in a few months when we have played a few Home games so there is less value in a full membership.

Geelong are playing 2 games at Etihad (North & us) and another 2 at the G (Pies & Hawks).  The remaining 7 games are all at Skilled.

Even if their members dont travel up the highway, thats still 7 games for $99, which is less than half the usual $215 for a regular 11 match home game membership.

As for North, don't they get compensation games like we do for the two NT fixtures?

Even if not, they are only playing 3 of their home games in tassie, so thats still 8 games for $99

.....  or the other North/Geelong options I mentioned a few posts back.

Other clubs are starting to think a bit outside the square to get new members on board. We need to too.

Well done to the club but I will have to do better to cover my tracks.

Seriously Ernie with the life that you led do you think a Demon would have any trouble finding you, probably in the hell hole next door.

North have just done a heap of school visits.  North have a program that all Preps receive a free family home game membership, so every one that signs up for this that's 4 members.  The Bulldogs have a similar deal.  These numbers are so manipulated these days they don't reflect the true membership base.  I will bet the West Coast Eagles and Adelaide generate more revenue from their members that Collingwood and Hawthorn. Essentially that is what counts, how much revenue does each club generate and match day attendances(hard to compare club v club due to a bias fixture)

Not doubting the accuracy on this Cards but when i listened to our membership day on SEN i heard nothing along these lines. Just an ordinary plea to join the club by Robbo in a brief advertisement with a very lame "Go Melbourne" catch cry from him at the end. Inspirational stuff! Could have been talking about the city! :unsure: Whatever happened to Carn' The Demons! In fact whatever happened to the Demon? Sadly  appears to have been completely wiped as a mascot in all marketing other than potentially on game day with Chucky etc and a few old retro style t-shirts/tops. :(

100% correct, no point getting upset that we've got less members than another club who's giving them out. I've never seen a list (nor do I know if it exists) to show what revenue each clubs membership brings in (as a net figure) - making sure to deduct any allowance's for membership give away's etc.  I think we'd be reasonably competitve in the area.

I got an email today asking members to attend as many home games as possible.

There are incentives for the number of games attended.

Are they under pressure to maintain our home games at the "G" ?

Prob more wanting big crowds at home games for leverage in better time slots, to take to potential sponsors etc.

Might be the BOJ ones ?

If they sign a deal that includes more money for attendance to home games or they might sign a one year deal and want lots of numbers to show me potential sponsors.  Also lots of numbers look good on tv. Most of or games shows massive amounts of empty seats.

Part of the problem is that the cameras are in the on the northern side of the Ground and show the Seats on the southern side.

The members mostly sit on the northern side so are largely unseen on TV.

    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.

    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.

    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.
