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'!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
