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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
