The 2017 Membership Thread

We are a potential 50,00 member club make no mistake. I get the feeling that the ' lapsed member ' category is still largely untapped. We could also increase support amongst the junior ranks not to mention the  cat / dog pet membership area.

    Alice just seems like a better fit. I'd be happy to keep that one and hopefully even get up for one of them eventually.

    Alice Springs might be a better fit for us, but I doubt very much the NT Government which pays us to play in Darwin and the Alice would agree.

    For monetary reasons no but for selfish perfect world reasons I say boot it! :P

    I despair at your negative outlook thinking that our membership numbers could contract to five thousand just on the cusp of being a power club for the next decade. I don't agree with you that we are destined to lose 38,000 members and am more inclined to think that we can soar to 50,000!

    Well, you might be right CB. If our slogan is " Let's go for infinity members, then 500,000 should be the target !!!! not my modest 5000.

    I notice we have almost 22,000 members for next season already. I'm not sure how that compares with '16, can anyone bring up comparable figures please

    The opening post for this thread last year showed we had 22,000 members at around this time.  This year we have 15,211- almost 7,000 short.  That is a huge shortfall.  (Both figures are before the automatic rollovers which usually happen at the end of October).

    It seems a of lot members are not too impressed with our 2017 performance.  It will be interesting to see how those yet to renew, react to the trades this year, in particular Watts. 

    I certainly hope we win a lot of games in the first few months of 2018 otherwise it will be a hard road to win members back.

    2018 will be a critical year for mfc to deliver on and off the field.

    Your not wrong after the way we finished up the season against the pies was nothing short of disgusting and I would say it’s left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth, I personally don’t care that watts was traded I’m still [censored] about round 22, my membership just rolls over but Club is on its last warning with me finals next year or I will find it very difficult to renew in 2019

    I would love to know the membership figures right now in comparison to what they were this time last year.  Particularly what's gone on in the past week with Lever/without Watts.

    Can't give you the up-to-date figures for this precise point in time, but if you scroll about 12cm up you can access the data from roughly ten hours ago.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
