We need more supporters and members

that is a lot of $$$ we miss each year. 

Of course, but don't use Essendon as your shining light example.

On a membership ratio we do better than them.

I don't get this ratio notion - it seems fellatious  fallacious to me. Memberships are hard figures. How many people "support" a club - who really knows?

And just what is a "supporter"?

Bottom line is you're going to have more members if you have 3.5 times the number of supporters.

The fact that they have only 1.5 times the members with 3.5 times the supporters either says we're doing well or they're doing very poorly.

Unless, of course, you're obtuse.

They have 3.5 times more supporters says it all. 

Anything else is a Band aid

we were successful before TV did replays

That's based on over 100 years of football.  

They grew out of a suburb and we grew out of a footy ground.

Surely you've known for decades that most other Victorian clubs have far more supporters ?

Irrespective, you highlighted their success in members and I'v shown you that we're far more successful in gaining members per ratio of supporters.

No doubt you'll reply with another inane comment that misses the point.

Your theory is that if the MFC had 20 supporters and 15 were financial backers then that is a success, i get it  it's the sort of tripe Schwab used to trot out to keep the wolves at bay  

If our success had continued past 1965 we would have a truckload more supporters and members than we do now. 

I am well aware of the plight of other Victorian Clubs, doesn't mean a thing to me really. 

We are the name of a big city and we have NEVER used it properly. 

fortunately we now have some professionals running the place and hopefully pulling us in the right direction, so that generations of primary school kids will buy a Demon Jumper

You used Essendon as a model to be admired.

I've shown you we're more successful turning supporters into members than them.

You're example of Essendon was bzzzz wrong.

You'll do anything to pull out a negative, hey SWYL?  Who gives a stuff if Essendon have 65k members?  You just wanted to drop it in here to push your tired, negative agenda.

No i didn't. I find it amazing the drug cheats have still held onto 65,000 members, considering they would have lost 10-15,000 because of what happened. 

You have no idea what i want to do, let's keep it that way, shall we

You highlighted their tally of 65,000 as some sort of benchmark we should aspire to.  I point out they have 3.5 times more members for only a 1.5 times better result, ergo we're doing far better in the conversion stakes.

You then highlight again that the "cheats have more than us".  Derr

It's like talking to a triple brick wall where a modicum of common sense is unable to penetrate.  An insuperable challenge.

Bye.

They have 700,000 supporters Australia wide yet he's "amazed" they convert between 9-10 % into members.  We convert over 20%.

Yes, I do.  What other purpose is there to trumpet that Essendon have 65k members, other than to try and point out our failures and how we should have more?  Why do you need to talk about your 'amazement' in a thread about our memberships, where we've shown considerable improvement this year?  It makes zero sense to me.

They have just gone through 5 years of total sh!t and yet still hold 25,000 more members than we do

I find that very interesting as i thought memberships would have dropped of in droves after WADA and CAS had put the boot through them. 

If you don't find that interesting well it aint my problem. I am sure others will

Essendon supporters include people that don't follow the code but like planes. Not many people that aren't into footy say I like Demons so will barrack for Melbourne.

You're right chookrat. We need to be targetting atheists and people that support satanism.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
