Seems that Adelaide have been fudging the figures according to Cornes:

Probably using the same pocket calculator they used when finalising Kurt Tippett's contract.

    Must say that when you have regard to the various "no access" memberships offered by all the clubs the membership figures are all a bit flaky. Time for some transparency perhaps.

    I'm sure any sponsor worth their salt has access to the detailed membership breakdown.

    I was a little shocked to get a paper membership card this year as a premium member!  This is the first year in memory it is not plastic.  The club gone cheap this year?

    As is mine! ? (Time now for every Demonlanders to join up a mate! We are ahead of St Kilda, Bulldogs, North, but we shouldn’t be satisfied until our numbers eclipse the other ‘Melbourne-based’ teams, especially Carlton!)

    Note: every Demonlander knows at least one so-called ‘supporter’ who is too lousy to take out a membership. Let Melbourne be awash with ‘red & blue’ scarves in 2019!

    Thanks people, I contacted the club.  They advised it is a printing problem and will rectify with the manufacturer.  Poor effort by the manufacturer and wonder if this is a wider problem.  The club must be annoyed getting a batch of these paper membership cards.

    Easier to tear up should things go pear-shaped.

    For those yet to renew, I just saw this on club website:

    Renew by Friday 22nd March and be in the draw to WIN

    You could WIN:
    - Return flights and accommodation for 2 people to our Round 18 game in Alice Springs
    - 2 x Tickets to attend Round 18 in the Territory Lounge
    - 2 x Post-match access Change room passes for Round 18
    - VIP training experience in Alice Springs

    It might help the cause if the club put that in a story on the Home page rather than buried in a tab on the 'Membership' page.

     

    Membership is now 37,856 - 4,500 up on same time last year and 7,200 to break last year's record.

    And 12,200 to get to the magic 50,000 members!  I reckon we can do it, especially if the MCC/MFC campaign goes well!

    10% plus up on this time last year is a great result.

    I am curious as to why around 20% of memberships are bought mid season or later

    You are probably right but it doesn't really help these days with finals tickets

    Other than the GF most other finals are not sell outs and you need a premium membership (which in the main are already sold out) to guarantee a GF ticket

    You sound surprised DD just Human nature. A reasonably large number of the sporting public like winners and only follow winners.

    I don't hang it on anyone for NOT buying a membership. More to life than footy. Much more.

    We should be gracious and thankful for those that do.  ... whenever they do 

    Some need to seriously pull their heads in.

    I reckon 55k is possible if we come out breathing fire and are top 2 mid season

    I have level one reserved seat with Guaranteed GFT, you no longer need the top memberships.

    Well, we are not Richmond supporters, so we don't need one of those cheap plastic microwavable ones.  The paper version's will burn much better in the Mt Bulla ski lodge fire places.

    That all said, perhaps this is a tactical move on behalf of the club.  The sacrificial membership card microwaving seemed to be just the tonic to bring on a Tigers premiership, so perhaps someone should organise a mid season bonfire of MFC membership cards?

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
