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.

    • 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.
