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.

    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.

    based on last 2 years late memberships, we'll probably end up round about the 51.5k mark (or +14% yoy)

    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.

    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
