David Smorgon just said on Foxtel that the Doggies passed 27,000 today. How far behind that are we right now?

That's a fantastic effort by the Bullies whose membership was more a basket case than ours for so long .

A friend of mine said he became a Bulldogs member unwittingly when he paid his(?) gas bill.

I know clubs love to bandy about high membership figures, but WB were giving out 2-3 game memerships to VU students in 2005 or 2006 apparently. Akin to the MFC/MCC associate members, I'm not sure whether clubs are actually getting as much $ as you'd expect from these high membership numbers, but well done to them nonetheless.

Honestly, any mark we hit now, we could have had, I believe around 1-2000 more had we actually played with passion the first two rounds.

I wonder how much impact winning the first two games of the season would have on membership?

I bet there are plenty of Essendon supporters who originally didn't think it was worth buying a membership this year are now jumping back on board and Carlton supporters making the effort after winning the NAB cup and their first game.

Unfortunately, that's the way it works these days. If your team wins, people want to be part of that.

I'm always paid up and passionate before Christmas each year, but there are many people who are out there who jump on the bandwagon

just as their team is winning or on the rise.

Had the Dees won the first two, they would be well past the Bulldogs and on track for 30,000.

The Dees website now has the number at over 25,500

26,231 is the current tally which is great.

You'd have to think that had we been atleast 1-2, the number would be about 1k higher, atleast.
