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?

Mines the usual plastic. 

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?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
