Ok my mistake. I think we will struggle to get beyond 55 next year even if we finish top four this year. We Don’t have big numbers of supporters. 

If we go deep and start next year well, we'll get 55,000 easily IMO. We've probably got 100-150,000 supporters across the country and signed up almost 50,000 of them. Start winning flags/genuinely challenging and we'll start to convert more. It might take a flag for many of those still unsigned though.

    If we finish top 4 this year and back it up next year we will nudge 60k

    I find it hard to fathom that the Blues have over 80k members.
    Many of their supporters must have had very high (finals) expectations.

    According to the national Morgan survey it's more like 250,000-270,000 across the country and Melbourne signs up a higher proportion of supporters than any other club.

    Of course, Morgan's survey is distorted. The Swans with more than a million supporters?

    That's what happens when people in Sydney are asked what AFL team they follow...and they come up with the Swans but many would not really follow the AFL competition at all. They come up with the Swans because, well, who else? They are not 'engaged supporters' in the sense of our diehard quarter million.

    Ditto Brisbane.

    I reckon this is a good example of statistics being manipulated. I'd say rather than Melbourne signing up a higher proportion of supporters than any other club, it is more a case that for a long time we have not been relevant to the general public, and people that don't really support a team when surveyed answer with one of the big/well known clubs.

    Win a premiership and see the "supporter" numbers increase significantly, which men's nothing. The real gains are the 10-15k members who hadn't renewed their memberships over the past decade, and some ex Hawthorn and Geelong bandwagon supporters and potentially North and Carlton supporters who have had enough.

    45,730 is the latest figure in the club website.

    It’s a disappointing figure at 6-0.

    Look at Power, Dogs and Demons on that list.  The top three sides so far this year are amongst the lowest. Love it.
    Wonder how the AFL feels about it?

    I don’t agree I think it is a good figure in 2021 and for a club that has spent 50 years in the wilderness.

    In '18 and '19 we roughly signed another 4k from this point so with more wins and hard work it should be doable - would be an incredible achievement!

    a lot suffered last year financially, i reckon we cant under estimate that. if we get close to 50K it will be a great effort.

    I relented and re-signed after the Richmond win.

    The other 2 memberships I normally buy are being kept up my sleeve for future wins....

    I used to be a member for about 10 years but live on the Murray and are no longer. Maybe I should look at an interstate membership.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
