we increased by 4-5 thousand in the months after round 1 last year even considering the performance against the bombers so we will easily get to 42K performances will dictate if we push 45K

new members will come from the more casual fans that want to see a decent team play and not get hammered each week

That could be the case but it also may be true that a number of them have done it earlier this year.

To get to 45k is a big ask for a small club that has seldom got beyond 35k since day one.

    There is a substantial difference between having confidence in our team and then expecting to pull members out of fresh air dc.

    We may have the highest participation rate  in the competition but we have one of the lowest support bases.

    You are retreating dc

    45K was going to be easy a few posts back.

    I hope you are right by the way because I am not going to make it much longer.

    Hopefully our AFLW team has broadened our membership base Old Dee. Perhaps worth 500-1,000 new fresh air members?

    what is 1500 members between friends

    We have a load of dormant supporters out there. They have been hiding in the shadows for decades. 

    If we get on a winning roll and play "1987 style demolition" footy a lot of old battered Demons will join

    they don't trust the club yet and who could blame them?

    They are so battered they have probably passed on swyl or are you suggesting they will join from beyond the grave?

    no, 42k-43k is a reasonable spread. 45k would be an ambit claim

    I reckon it is going to take more than 2017 to turn them around.

    The min. is sixth place for those so disaffected to get back on in 2018.

    Reluctantly I have to correct you by saying "we have a lot of barrackers out there" and they came out in spades in our last game of 2016 (when we could have made the finals)! Many of these were MCC members who were too tight to pay the extra for their MFC 'add-on'!

    • 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.

      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.
