MEMBER TALLY
51,770

That’s a pretty big jump in about a week especially this late in the year. 

Imagine if we started the year better. 

Posted (edited)

If we weren’t [censored] this year we may have hit around 60,000!

Happy we cracked 50k and set a new record, but jee it seems like a big waste of momentum.

Strange one. Same jump happened same week last year. For weeks before its a few hundred a week then suddenly a 1200 leap.

Maybe they got a work experience kid in to help out?

My work gets one about this time each year.

We’d want to finish strong or else there’s the chance we’ll see a decline in membership numbers come next season.

After nearly 4 weeks it is still 51,770.  Unsurprisingly memberships dried up after our run of losses.

Official cut off date is July 31.  Unlikely to add more than a few hundred. 

So much hope to get to 55,000 but it has fizzled out.

Yes, but I suspect it won't add to more than a few hundred +/- by end of July.

I would guess 500 max taking it to about 52,250.  A good result over the 45,300 last year but I would imagine the club will be disappointed it has fizzled out.  But hopefully, it is more.

Members have done their bit. The club has not. Disappointing result for all.

Regardless of everything else, from where we were coming from 5 and 10 years ago this is a fantastic result from everyone at the club over multiple administrations.

interesting ... had we done well this year and the Carlton "new coach" impact was minimal it would have been realistic to think we could have surpassed Carlton in raw membership terms next season.

What a missed opportunity

Anyone have any idea what our membership level is?  The club no longer publishes on the website.  A shame as watching the tally was a small interest during the off season.

The first lot of roll-over and renewal dates have now passed so it would be a good guide as to how fans are feeling post trade/draft.  This time last year the tally was about 30,000.  I think we are a way short of that this year.

Hopefully members get back on board.

Reminds of when newspapers stop publishing circulation figures. When the news ain't good stop showing it. Perhaps I am just cynical.

I'm on auto renew, so I don't really watch that stuff. I've never understood how people only want to jump on when a team is flying. Doesn't it feel better to watch them get to that point? Thick and thin. I really don't get it. I hope the club enjoys the cash the bandwagoners bring, but I'm not sure what else people like that add to the club, and I'm damn sure I don't like them dancing around after 15 minutes of support as if they just kicked 5 goals in the last q to win the game.

Fester you don't understand that people want to be part of winners and don't want to be part of losers? Human nature at its finest. I would add that a lot of people have had decades of pain from the MFC, a large number don't want anymore. Understandable IMO.

Just because you're a cynic it doesn't mean the world isn't perverse. If it was up to me I'd have Diogenes as our CEO.

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time. Activities included kicking for goal,  aerial , contest work etc. I noticed the following players not in match simulation Jack Viney  running laps and looks fine for round one . I think Kolt looks like he’s im

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
