So we finally won a Grand Final.

Im still drifting between drunk and hungover and have spent up big on club merch. I know im not alone, and many would have spent much more than me going by the jumper auctions online. This premiership will do so much for the club that its effects will be felt for years.

One of the huge improvements should be club membership next year. Lets see who can get closest to the official figure.

53,706 was this years total and we will break that by a long way.

My guess for next year is 67,500.

Whats yours?

    I reckon we push 100k.

    We are a sleeping giant.

    We are Melbourne.

    I am going to say anything over 65,000+ will be wonderful.

    We had over 52,000 members this year.

    So an increase of over 10,000 would be great to see.

    If we get 70,000+ members then that will be HUGE!!! We won't be a small club anymore with those numbers.

    Remember that you need sustained success with multiple Premierships to expect to see genuine growth of members.

    We have missed out on generations of Melbourne supporters after 57 years of mediocrity.

    However, there will be ALOT of lapsed Demons supporters wanting to be members in 2022 though!

    Seeing Melbourne hopefully win a Premiership on the MCG will be a massive draw card for people!

    61,222.

    I don’t see the membership will increase that dramatically given people from Victoria still aren’t 100% certain whether AFL footy will be a TV event or a live event next year.

    Will be live for fully vaccinated. Perhaps for everyone if we reach 90% fully vaxxed by next March.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
