I asked the membership tent on the family day what was the 2020 total to date.

They said the total before the family day it was 33000 approx.

If you wish follow the current figures they are posted on the club website https://am.ticketmaster.com/melbournefc/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=parallax&utm_campaign=2020_membership#/

and to track vs prior years

    I thought To Hell and Back is a great initiative and expected to see a response in memberships but in the two weeks that it's come out they have ground to a virtual halt. Surprised by that. Maybe the Club are just behind in posting the latest membership numbers. Hope so.

    As far as membership numbers go after last year it is vital to win the first game.

    As a fellow pedant I assure you 'fail' is both verb and noun depending on usage.

    How do you feel about nimrods who say "I'm bias"?

    It really bugs me!  You can have bias and you can be biased, but you can't BE bias.

    I'm sure I'm not Robinson Crusoe on that one. However, dictionaries since Samuel Johnson wrote the first one have tended to be records of lexis, not a monitor whose function is to be on top of whatever inane trend is belched into a particular cultural zeigeist. Not being among the cooler kids on the block, I was hoping someone doper (that's what the millenials say don't they?) than I might have an idea.

    Just as an aside, the grammar pedant in me would like to know when the noun 'failure' mutated into 'fail', which I was led to believe was a verb? 

    Epic.

    New one on me. Potentially as annoying as tennis players saying  'he played great/good etc'. Maybe moreso since it's meaningless.

    How about the horse racing industry?

    "He ran good" is often used as well as "She done well" etc etc.

    In fact,  the horse racing industry leads the field (no pun intended) with the misuse of nouns & verbs.  Jockeys & trainers alike.

    Beat the Weasles in the first round of the season and the memberships will go through the roof.

    Rugby League would give them a run for their money. From officials through to journalists and those players currently susended for assault the correct use of English is largely optional.

    34,579 up from 32,985 a week ago. 

    So, it looks like some optimism has kicked in among members, as well as memberships from last week's Family Day.

    Still about 2,300 behind same time last year but wouldn't be surprised if this gap isn't bridged before too long.

    Interesting.  They have shown 'waitlisted' for a while.  Maybe there are premium members who haven't renewed yet and the club is holding their spot open. 

    Thanks for the tip re Trident membership.  I renewed Redleg memberships for myself and my niece last September so will stick with those.

    You missed an opportunity there Luci.

    You and your niece might have been fortunate and found a seat next to jolly old uncle Bitter!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
