Well we've ticked over the 39k mark.

39,005 according to melbournefc.com.au

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?

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

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! ?

They've got some serious issues down there at the website. Very amateurish 

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!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
