    We made it!!

    42,102

    With 102 over!

    That is a whopping 20% increase on 2015!

    Major, major accolades to the Club and the 3,000 extra that have jumped on board this year.

    I'm sure Jackson and co will be absolutely rapt!!

    Make finals and we should get off to a great start for next year.

    Great for the Club, its supporters and sponsors. Great for the players too knowing that there are more and more of us wanting to get involved and wanting to watch their exciting development. Fantastic.

    We reached 42,102 by midday yesterday. I wonder what the figure was at close of business (which I presume is when the final tally applied)? ?

    Thats a lot of extra revenue.

    Can we please scrap the NT games now, effective immediately?

     We won't.  We would need 55- 60k members to make it worth it.

    Of we hit 50k I'd love to stop the Darwin half of it. Alice with the bye after is fine.

    Frankly I would rather keep the NT games (& the money) and turn it into a fortress that other teams dread (much as North and Hawthorn have achieved in Tassie)!

    Agree. Alice is fine as no heat/humidity related fatigue the following week, just travel, which is no different that flying to Brisbane or perth

    Would need to play their more often to do that, as it's hard to get used to the conditions when playing their once or twice per year. Playing against different teams their is important also as when you play the same team they get used to conditions at same rate as you.

    Perhaps having our pre-season training up there as in the past and a guaranteed bye after Darwin would work. It is the six day breaks combined with travelling that has been the killer moreso than the conditions on the day.

    Observations:

    • The increase for the Bulldogs is understandable given their premiership. 
    • Geelong has a new stadium so can sell more. 
    • Not sure about StK increase; I recall they sold a lot of $1 memberships. 
    • GWS is a surprise and have genuinely grown quickly. 
    • As for Essendon - what can one say!
    • Big loser is North - guess they didn't like how they dumped their champs last year!  There is a good case to merge North and GCS!

    As for the Dees, we have had approx 25% increase since the PJ/Roos era started.  And going on the Bulldogs experience, a premiership would take us well over the 50,000 mark!  That may be a few years away but I would expect another leap in our membership next year.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
