Within 141 of last year's record final total.

    Our other thread put us at 39,211 which we are still to reach but likely to pass by the weekend! (Nice to see our figures ahead of St. Kilda)

    Here's the HS list just last december.  They confirm the AFL figure.

    I think George's figure is likely wrong and that we've now passed last year's record.

    Correct CBD.  Here is the club 'Thank You' saying 39,211  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2016-08-03/thankyou-members

    It's a shame that we as MFC supporters have to worry about membership numbers, sponsors and gate receipts, wouldn't it be nice to only have to worry about wins and where we will finish on the ladder at the end of the season.

    We have set a NEW RECORD (I think).  Club website is saying 36,269.

    Suspect a typo and they mean 39,269!!

    That is 3+ months before the 39,211 record set last year at end of July.

    So its a 7% increase on this time last year and 17% increase on same time 2015. 

    @Dee Deewould you like to show the new milestone in the thread title, perhaps?

    correct luci

    It's a new all-time membership record! ? A BIG thank you to our 39,269 members who have signed up this year!

    Well done every body and thank you to those who have signed up. Go the mighty demons.

    Just checked membership numbers just now and we appear to have lost 3000 members today !!! What the ? 

  • Quote

    Amazing way they announce it! Firstly they announce an increase of two additional members over two days (39,148 > 39,150) then they announce 3,000 resignations (down to 36,269)! You would think they could run to a proof-reader before they post! ?

    Yeah, this week is not going well, is it? An error a day just about. Even the MFC Goals from Round 4 were out of sync.

    Glad to see the website is not making much of the membership record. Just a thank y'all tweet and on with the sales campaign. That's the way to handle it. Forty thou would be worth a bit more of a celebration though.

    No reason why we can't clock over 40,000 before the weekend. Surely at least some of the 85,000 who attended Monday night will have signed up on the day (and their figures have not filtered through yet)!  Expect a boost at the end of today when they are added to the total.

    Picking up 600+ this week might be a bridge too far!

    • 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.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
