Ok my mistake. I think we will struggle to get beyond 55 next year even if we finish top four this year. Weย Donโ€™t have big numbers of supporters.ย 

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 countryย 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,ย 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.

Itโ€™s a disappointing figure at 6-0.ย 

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

I donโ€™t agree I think it is a good figure in 2021 and for a club that has spent 50 years in the wilderness.

Chr!st on a stick our website is shocking. Just went to check out GF guarantee via reserved - multiple button clicks, http404s, can't find seats. Good lord.

Surely we can get to the magical 50k

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.

ย 

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.ย

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
