Well done to all Dee fans!

@old dee - see what I meant? 

Exciting news. A win tonight coupled with a prime time Friday night game next week could give us another nice boost.

Yep. We'll finish on 52 or 53k I reckon. And next year we aim for 70k again and all being well, we'll get past 55k and maybe even 60k. I think that's our ceiling until we win some flags.

I don’t believe we have a ceiling, with the weekly migration into Melbourne. 

We need to win more than we lose and gain some traction in the FTA TV games...

70,000 is very gettable...

Could not be happier  t_u  I hope you are also correct on the win tonight. However I am very doubtful on that one. Just cannot see us being able to turn around so many things in one week at the house of pain.

that's great, but it would be better if they could update the web site which is still quoting 44,008 (on both home page and membership page)

Migrants won't go for average teams for long. They might support Melbourne when they initially choose but people are easily poisoned into following the big successful clubs.

Without flags, we have a ceiling IMO. We need to brush off the lack of respect tag and for 50 years we've been at the bottom. That can change with a flag or two.

I think you may both be right! Greater Melbourne has been growing by 100,000 people per annum for the last few years. Some of that may be Australians from elsewhere who may already support a team, but I suspect most are from overseas and therefore unaligned. But I also agree with A F that without a premiership (or two), it may be difficult to convert these unaligned supporters into Demons.  

The population of Melbourne is irrelevant.  These are all AFL affecianados ?? Get real.

You need to look at those who are reasonably described as potential MFC members.

No success..then even current 45k unsustainable.

Win a flag 75-80 K...all those in the woodwork or on the fence.


Well...that might have killed off any momentum in this regard.

Not quite ... but a bad loss to the druggies on Friday night will. 2019  officially on a knifes edge. 

Saw the headline and just assumed that was the number of Forward 50 entries we will need to kick 100 goals

Not on it's edge ...plunged deeply I'd suggest


70,000 is a pipe dream. The club’s lucky they conned enough of us to beat our record and get close to 50,000. The 70,000 talk shows how delusional the higher ups are and how far off the pace we still are.

Harsh but fair

I'm interested in finding out how many of the 45,000 memberships have been already been microwaved.....

Surely we we league in microwaved memberships!

 

How about target shut your stupid mouth and put your energy into what you can control?

Pert you idiot.

Chugging along nicely at 47,174. 

6,600 ahead of similar time last year. 

On last year's trend we should end up at around 52,000+, a 15% increase on 2018.

? Great,so far, great job guyss

Problem isn't this year so much. A lot signed up upon expectations.

Come EOS ...and if no success... Good luck signing as many so quickly. 

Our long term aim is 70,000 not in 2019. Remember when Tigers declared that they would have 75000 within 5 years, play finals and win a Flag. They have achieved that and more and now their President is being hailed next CEO of AFL..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you mean their CEO, Brendon Gale. Their President is Peggy O'Neal.

Thanks LD-vC, Ha Ha just checked the Richmond Board and Yes I was thinking of Brendan Gale CEO, I remember when he originally made that statement and  I had a good Laugh......!!!!!!!!!!!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
