49,636

1,000 more than on Wednesday!

Good to see a lot of fans keeping the faith (they don't read or post on DL?)

This is 8,000 up on similar time last year ie ~20%.  Not bad for a team sitting 1-5 and on the bottom of the ladder as of Friday.

If trend continues 54,000 is in sight.

    My involuntary response to checking out the website today and seeing 49,636: WOW! That's incredible.!

     

    It really is tremendous news since the last I saw it seemed stuck on 48,080. We will certainly crack 50K this year which is a great achievement in the circumstances.

    All things considered,  that is a more than decent number.  Forget the 70k talk,  that is for the future and we'll need to play finals consistently to achieve that number.

    I like the ambition anyway ... 50k has a nice ring to it with 1 finals appearance since 2006.  Remarkable in fact.

    Thank you, Peter Jackson. Without his help we'd be nowhere.

    We'll definitely be able to announce 50k at our next home game. That'll be a proud moment as one of many supporters who had stuck fat all these years. What a terrific effort given where we've been.

    What do you mean I wonder?

    Socialist, unlikely

    Socialite, possibly,

    Elitist, possibly,

    Sociopath, don't think so.

    It may be a new category, a friendly ghost?

    I don't mind a new word occasionawhile. :laugh:

    Bloody amazing achievement by the club to get to 50K members. 5 years ago and I would not have believed it to be possible. It gives real hope we can knock over 55 and 60K if we get some consistent finals/success

    Our membership growth goes further back than PJ though AF ... Jimmy targeted 40k when many thought we weren't in a position to get to that figure.

    Our membership growth from '07 to '13 was also quite remarkable when considering how unsuccessful on the field we were.

    Goes even further back if we are doing a proper analysis.  PJ continued on the good work started earlier and then added real expertise.  The NT deal - same story. 

    Our win/loss ratio in that 7 year stretch was round about 35/118. Any sort of growth with that dismal record is quite amazing ... negative growth could easily have been the outcome.

    That is how I read it.

    has there been an official announcement re cracking 50k?

    outstanding result if so

    given the doldrums we have been in since 07-14, any membership growth over that time was remarkable, and if we can every get it together on field like we have off-field then we'll be in a far, far better place as a football club

    If we can pull 50,000 members with a 55 year drought and no “Home Base” yet, then 70,000 + will be very achievable numbers going forward...

    The gloss of the rnd 7 win has been overshadowed by negative stories about May and fitness staff (Shaun Smith story).

    The club will want some good news out there rather pronto so wouldn't be surprised to see it announced ASAP maybe even tomorrow.

    Epic!  We’re a Loyal resilient lot aren’t we , albeit a bit weather beaten and angry. 50 k Is a big achievement. . Hoping this is just the start of big things on the field and off it. A flag, a new home base and up into the 60-70 k plus members. 

    A win on the weekend would also keep a hint of hope for this season . if we can keep that window open , get players bk and start knocking over some big teams in then maybe 53-5 k this year?

    We are about 8K ahead of where we were last year at the same time:

    Last year we only added about 250-300 members a week to the end of June, so we cannot expect much more than that to happen.

    This would give us about 53-54K at season end.  A fabulous start to the 70k target, but how much better would it have been with early season wins.  Still 8k is nearly a 20% increase from last year....not too many clubs would have done this!

    Didn't think i would ever see that number linked with the MFC.  Top effort by all.  Volunteers especially.

    Need a tad more luck with injuries but if so we are finals bound.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
