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.

    • 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.
