Not to mention they tend to follow successful club's!

That's 90% of the reasons.

    I think 55k might be a stretch this year, but an achievable feat might be the 52.5k record we achieved in 2019.

    The magical 60k might be achieved next year if we bring home the bacon this year.

    Don’t they officially publish numbers once it’s closed? Doesn’t it happen in July?

    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.

    But Richmond were a rable for 30 years but never lost their fans. Always had decent numbers turing up and then when success came it went to a new level. They may be the exception to the rule though, hard to keep members when you havent won a premiership for 50 years.

    It goes to show how important winning is.

    You win and your membership numbers increase! It is that simple!

    I am over the moon with 50,000+ Melbourne Demons members!

    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. 

    We have one of the lowest membership tallies in the comp, we dont have a home base and haven't won a premiership for 60 years.

    Let's not handout life memberships just yet, especially to administrators.

    They had a lot of success in the late sixties and seventies and again in the eighties. While the Dees were bumping along on the bottom.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
