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.

    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?

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
