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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
