I have waited a long time to feel confident again. Well done Membership dept for this great achievement.  

Has the Club commissioned that sculptor yet for the bronze statue of PJ?

As long as it is not the same sculptor who presented the Ronaldo sculpture. Did you see that one? Horror of a thing.

I wonder how many unique members we've had over the last 5 or so years. Someone earlier mentioned about 4k who haven't rejoined from last year, you would think that might be about 10k over the last 5 years (assuming some may drop off then sign on again a year or 2 later)

I don't want too many members , I might struggle to get Grand Final tickets !! 

Come sit with the riff-raff in the GSS. As far as Melbourne AFL club support members' go, there isn't exactly a massive queue. Virtually guaranteed a GF seat should we eventually get back there.

So since PJ arrived memberships have gone up close to 9,000 which is nearly 30%.  

I wonder where we can get to over the next few years with some sustained success. Starting next year, doesnt' look like its going to be this year. As an example Buddy has been at the Swans for just over three years. In that time their membership has gone up from 35,000 in a Premiership year in 2012 to 56,000 3 years later. Apparently Buddy had paid his entire 9 year deal off within the first year with his impact on memberships, attendances, apparel etc.  In the next few years if Jesse gets his act together he might start having a similar impact although there is and has only ever been one Buddy. The guy does things no one else has ever done. Worth the cost of entry.

All comes down to winning. And winning only...

Clearly, a lot of supporters were not as disappointed with the Hawks game as many here on Demonland. 
300+ have put up their money since the weekend!

Oh i so hope that Craig guy who sent his cut up membership into SEN is seeing this?:lol:

That is what I thought deebug!

If any of the players named by Craig B or the team felt deflated by his letter and the heavy handed criticism by club legends (Lyon and Ox) then Goodwin can give them a pep talk with the new memebership numbers saying:  '...Supporters are right behind you and the team, and that is what counts... go out there and reward them and give your all...'

Go Dees!!

I for one can never understand why people would want to waste time and effort in cutting up their membership. 

And as you said Lucifer's Hero us true members are with the club; oh and as a bonus we have our memberships in tact.

Remember Lucifer.

More supporters mean more members that associate mediocrity as a good thing.

Major indictment on those clubs imo. They've played in Grand Finals, Prelims, finals, and we've been crap for a decade.

And StK sold a mountain of memberships on $1 deposit.  While North has 3,000 t0 5,000 members in Tassie.

And we are not too far off Carlton who have 46,426.  For some ungodly reason they are considered one of the Vic 'powerhouse clubs'.  This false status gives them umpteen home games at the G (at our expense) against the high membership clubs like Ess, Rich, Haw, Coll.  It also gives them numerous FTA games in some prime time slots.   It sure helps to have friends in high places and an ex captain head of the AFL.

Nothing to do with 'background' of recent Chairman perhaps ? :rolleyes:

Id put it down as inertia. The momentum will have dropped off after the Hawks. Will all but come to standstill after Crows.

Thats not negative nancy, just a 'what is ' 

41 or thereabouts a sterling effort by the deluded faithful.

Time for the well paid to start repaying that faith or it'll slide back quicker than a rat down a drainpipe.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
