40,000 members prior to Round 1 is a great achievement!

Surely we're aiming at possibly signing up 50k by the cut off date?  It actually seems like a realistic target now.

In 2016 we set a membership record of 39,211. The hope was we’d get to 40,000 the next season. We’ve just hit 40,000 and it’s mid March. At the rate of increase in the last 2 weeks we’ll crack over 50,000. That was a dream just 3 years ago and the Club has only just reached finals for the first time. You can see that 60,000 doesn’t seem like such a pipe dream in the next couple of years.

    I would be happy with 50k which is only about 11k to go so a couple of wins early should see us get to this milestone. 

    50k needs to be our base minimum moving forward. 60k should be a longer term goal. 70k in the next 5-10 years would be an outstanding result.

    Yeap, the Blues are at 56k already, a record for them.

    IIRC they were around 55k last year... they may be like the mechanical hare at the dishlickers... tauntingly out of reach

    I was just speaking to the membership team, apparently we are at about 41,140 as of this morning.

    Should we win a flag anytime soon, i'd expect our membership to significantly drop the following year.

    What % of the membership are 50+ years old? Most will suffer massive heart attacks after the siren. The rest of us will either drink ourselves to death or die from lack of sleep as a result of wayyyyy too much adrenaline.

    If I die at our winning Grand Final I have advised my fellow Dees tragics to go full “Weekend at Bernie’s” style with me for the duration of the celebrations.

    The MCC holds the key 

    No. 

    Winning consecutive games holds the key. 

    People want to see solid results, not just promises

    How bad must things be at the kennel? They are offering a free upgrade to a full club membership if a 3 game membership is bought.

    Make a mockery of membership numbers, unless they are categorized.

    Now 43,829! 

    This is approx 6,000 up on same time last year and a mere 400 short of our all time in July 2018.

    We will smash 50,000!  Then how high?

    I'm worried that Saturday's performance has held quite a few back from re-signing.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
