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!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
