    Thanks for collecting all that info, I T.

    Hope it helps posters/readers do easy comparisons of trends and where we are at.

     

    So according to LH's and I.T's excellent info and table we hit our current total sometime in week 4 of January this year and early March the year before. It will be interesting to see if we end up with significantly more members or people are just renewing earlier. Either way there is a fair bit of excitement out there for the 2017 Demons

    If you look at the historical data we get around 12,000 people join from Jan-June.  Hitting 27297 by end Nov is great, we should push above 30,000 prior to Christmas which really sets the club up to hit 40-45,000 for the year.  Lets say 42,500 an extra 3300 members or in revenue terms about 600K

    I guess the worry there is that there may be a percentage of those  12,000 who normally join during the season proper have become enthusiastic and gotten in earlier than they normally would have...

    Whilst you may well be right, that sure is a 'glass half empty' way of lookin at things. Come on, only positive vibes around here!

     

    Until we come out and get slaughtered in round 1... Then yeh... Bring on the negativity.

    Wondering if any of that is attributable to the additional excitement generated by the J.Lewis and Hibbard signings?

    tracking at almost Feb numbers from last year

    27,914

    We're pretty much on last year's tally for 1st week of Feb. At this rate we should certainly crack 30,000 prior to Christmas. Based on previous years rates of increase we are definitely going to crack 40000 this year and should be looking at somewhere around 43,000 or more.

    28,002 (and counting)! ?

    40,000 will be broken this coming year.

    If we get off to a good start, we'll give 45,000 a serious shake too

    Got an email from the Club today that if you renew today you could be one of ten to get an MFC cap. 

    So I've renewed. Thought I should put it up here in case anyone else wants to go for a cap as well.

    Personally I'd prefer a cap to a scarf. I have masses of them. I have raised this with the Club for years but they won't change. I don't know why they don't change it up a bit every few years. The Swans do caps instead of scarves.

    it's a fair point it. caps would also be better advertising/branding because they are more likely to be worn and therefore seen on more occasions. people wear caps all year round and in many more situations.

    I wish the club would issue a deerstalker.

    Imagine the potential advertising on the flaps.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
