Can they run the ladder on an Ex cats and dogs , $1 Stkilda membership package basis) - and i’d think we do even better ! 

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.

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.

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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
