It still astounds me that we can get 50k+ members for a team that has performed well in 5 years of the last 55.

We must be the most deluded bunch of people in society.

Anyone know by how much the 3 game membership inflates the figures.

    I said that the communication from the club to members this year has been appalling. Have not heard boo from our CEO. You’d hardly know he works at MFC

    Who and does he?

    I feel sorry for the receptionist who has to answer the phone each monday morning.

    I doubt there is much abuse, these days you can get it off your chest well before monday morning.

    The lack of anything from him just seems so strange to me. I honesty cannot get my head around it

    Today I got around to filling in the survey and I've finally got it off my chest. It's been bugging me for years. I am sick and tired of only ever being offered a free scarf every year. Where's the innovation? How about socks or a cap?

    Seriously, it's good that they conduct the survey (assuming they read the answers). AFL football clubs are strange beasts. Full of members, most of whom the club administration never gets to meet. A survey is at least one way of finding out what moves the membership, for good or ill.

    Didn’t get one

    Because I didn’t continue my Membership 

    Because I refuse to contribute to Lewis’s superannuation

    We have three memberships in our household, and with another one due in October, it would have been four next season. I automatically rollover each year but opted out for next season. People can call me whatever they want but I’m holding off on purchasing our memberships for next season until I see the results. I’m not contributing to a  dysfunctional football team anymore.

    One can only speculate widely on what people might call you Ethan.

    Must say after 40 odd years of membership I am prepared to give them next year but like many I am tiring.

    May I inquire as to what you mean by results.. is that a reference to the remainder of this season... cause it ain't looking pretty.

    Same.

    I will make my membership an "Event", not a "Trend" in future.

    Win back the respect lost this year, and make solid progress on a permanent home. Those 2 items will have me digging into my wallet again. (Well, credit card to be precise)

    Besides, we are already Bulletproof off the field. The club said so.

    As stated previously I view my membership as a charitable donation.

    Think of it that way with occasional year where I  benefit..

    Interesting albeit dated puff piece by  a mob that did some analysis on Richmond's membership

    https://home.id.com.au/case-studies/richmond-football-club/

    "We started by mapping the location of current and past Richmond members. It showed a clear spatial pattern with membership strongest in Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs, fanning out from the club’s heartland in Richmond (the red areas on the map below).

    Then the demography comes in. We know that when the children of current Richmond supporters grow up and leave home, we can predict with some confidence where they will move to. In Melbourne there is a clear northwest and southeast divide. People that grew up in the southeast have a strong tendency to move further southeast to a suburb they can afford when they buy their family home. Demographers call this outward sectoral migration.

    You can clearly see people who live in Richmond strongholds fanning out across the east and southeastern suburbs (the yellow arrows on the map below)."

    I haven't filled mine in either demonstone but you maybe right - completing it would send the message - I suppose.

    Unfortunately, nowadays, everyone has a survey or wants feedback.

    If I contact my bank or other service providers they ask for a survey. I received a parcel via Australia Post and they wanted a survey. I don't use uber but I believe you are asked to rate the driver.

    Before you know it even the good ladies who provide ……….. err .. " personal services" …….. will require a rating.

    I simply cannot be bothered with any of it.

    On-field results for the first few gamesmanship next season.

    Renewed mine already

    The team needs it's members more when times are tough

    And (IMHO) comment and criticism carry far more weight from those who remain committed through tough times (not suggesting you aren't ET)

    I think they'd get the picture of how supporters are feeling atm.

    Demonland represents only a small percentage of the Membership/supporters base. Also, a self-selecting group.

    Maybe bing!

    But we represent a very high percentage of the perverts and intellectuals that follow the dees 

    That counts!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
