    relative to the statistics for memberships to supporters ratio ( we only have around 200k) supporters vs Swans who have something like 1.2million IIRC we would have to be the most die hard , rusted on fans in the AFL , given the amount of [censored] we have had to put up with for years (if not decades) also factoring in the high MCC member proportion of MFC supporters. 

    They can say what they like about our lack of success , but when people like Caro have a crack for only 38k turning up on Saturday night, I find the fairweather supporters tag really unjustified to a very resilient group of fans , I mean just look at the hawks attendence levels this year compared to their membership numbers

    She has never let facts stand in the way of her 'argument'.

    She has always had ulterior motives and carried a chip on her shoulder. Particularly when it has come to the Demons.

    All very well for Caro. She's either in the AFL suites or the MCC Committee dining room. She's never out with the ordinaries.

    There were most likely less than 10,000 Melbourne supporters there on Saturday night out of a supposed membership base of 52,000. We were massively outnumbered. It was a disgraceful turnout, irrespective of how bad the team has been playing.

    How many of those memberships would include those that are freely handed out at games? The vast majority me-thinks.

    And if that's the case then only 20,000 of 100,000 Richmond members turned up, same ratio.  And their team is pushing for top 4!

    Well said. Highest % increase across all clubs too.

    If football clubs were listed on the exchange they would be all done for misleading the market.

    It's rather easy to smooth the market... full membership =11points (11 games) and then the partial memberships are weighted accordingly.

    How many are purchased by sponsors as part of pre-arranged deals. (Suspect NT buys a lot of three game memberships for example.)

    When we get there we could look at reserved seat revenue etc etc

    I thought that we broke even on the night, Tiges were very quiet until the third quarter, mind you we sit in an all Dee's area and the Jag was up for grabs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It was closer to 3k-4k poita. At least 30k Toiges fans there.

    Totally agree.  Knowing  Melbourne. ..it'll be a brutal reckoning.

    I am so sick of Melbourne supporters being criticized for not turning up to games. There is nothing much more to look forward to this year. Every week another player/s out injured. No final eight to fight for. The game was on free to air TV. 

    Leave us alone in our disappointment. How dare people like Caroline Wilson single us out. We have gone through more heartache with our club than she will ever know. I have attended games countless times with no hope of ever seeing a win, in the darkest of times.

    What about the Richmond supporters. Their team is vying for a top four spot at the end of the year. They are always banging on about their precious Dusty, and how good he is. Why didn't they go along on a Saturday night to see their stars play in an 'easy' win? Stingy? There is supposed to be 100,000 of them. Not so dedicated as we are, I reckon.

    My son yesterday received an invitation to a pre match function before the Sydney game for first year members.

    Nice touch - apart from the fact that the function is in a bar, finishes at 7:50pm on a Friday night and he is 9 years old.

    I have been a member of this club for 30+ years and have never been invited to a club function. Why are long term, loyal members continually taken for granted by the club whilst first year members on 3 game memberships are given preferential treatment?

    This sort of stuff is why we will never be anything other than a middle of the road club.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
