Awesome news. You've got to admire what Pert and the membership team have been able to do in these crap times. No small feat.

    That would be nice, maybe in 3 years time. 60,000 next year would still be huge.

    50k is a big milestone - no announcment from the club?

    I think PJ deserves a big hand here too.

    For too long, we’d always be trying to get commitments from the old guard of Melbourne supporters rather than trying to win over people who weren’t traditionally Melbourne supporters, or even had an affinity to the sport.
     

    I remember PJ stating that he was heartened to look out into the crowd at our two MCG finals and seeing a more multi-ethnic mix wearing the red and blue. Those new supporters will definitely have increased those numbers.

    I don't think this has anything to do with Pert or the membership team. Sole reason for getting to 50k is the team's on field performances.

    For sure it wouldn't be happening without that but they have been flat chat creating all sorts of different ways of getting people to take out memberships that weren't around before. Credit where credits due.

    Tin, don't you think having a stable admin has a lot to do with the current on field performance. Just look down the road.

    A win tonight might push us to 55,000!

    I'm with tincan - main reason for the increased numbers is supporters realising the best (maybe only) way to get finals tickets is via having a membership.

    Bit salty tincan  They Petty must get done credit in these times They have  offered some bonus type membership deals  and NO DOUBT our success is a large factor.

    But  in the next 8 weeks before closing on July 31we break our  all time record of course they must get some kudos.

    To not recognise this is ignoring the reality of our Club  operations or holding a grudge of some  sort or both. 
     

    Lets all work together like the teams 
    are for  our success.

    We were 3-6 when we passed 50k in 2019 then had only 2 more wins before the 'close of books' after round 19. So COME ON, you missing two-and-a-half-thou (at least)!

    I think it's time Perty and his Admin got  some credit PJ has bee gone nearly 3 years although I realise some ground work may be responsible.

    Sometimes I dont understand why we dont have more supporters.

    I know our history is poor but I always thought new Victorians...immigrants and people taking up afl in Melbourne would choose us if they lived outside of a suburb without a team.

    Maybe we do but it doesnt transose to crowds and members.

    Anyway heres hoping for sixty.

    In a few years when we have three flags on the trot we will have eighty...easy.

    It's simple,  2000 to 2018 we were basket cases for most of that period. People get involved with winners not losers. For better or worst we are seen as the club of silver tails. Most migrants identify with other clubs.

    Migrants usually follow AFL clubs, that most closely resemble the soccer teams they followed so passionately in their home countries.

    In times gone by, many Italians barracked for Collingwood, because of the colours replicating those of the Juventus.  Similarly, the Greeks followed Norf, as their colours were very close to the Greek National colours.  Same with Inter Milan and Essendon.

    As we keep getting better and spread our good news to the general community, the rest will follow.  Today's new about Santa Teresa oval, will not only garner more indigenous followers, but more from the general community.

    I'm  more impressed with the quality and number of official sponsors we have been able to attract and some of that was prior to this years on field success.

    Hopefully the phones will be ringing hot on Monday with more supporters becoming paid up members. Get on board and assist the club.

    • 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.

    • 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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’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 wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
