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.

    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.

    sponsor paying by purchasing memberships perhaps?

    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.

    or just not reported? they must have sold a few hundred in the last 4 weeks at least. surely

    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.

    would you put money on matching that in 2020 ??  ?

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
