Premiership should get us an extra 10,000 new or returning members at least.

Then there are the ~25,000 Melbourne supporting MCC members who don't have dual MFC/MCC membership.

65,000 seems realistic, but if some of the MCC guys jump aboard cracking 75,000 is definitely possible.

I'll go 71,966

Plus 5000+ Perth members! 😉

    I have a feeling the "grand final guarantee" option will sell out pretty quickly!

    I’m pretty sure it’s already sold out?

    Predict all Grand Final Guarantee memberships already sold out!  Unless those sold in WA just before the PF aren't renewed.

    Anyone wanting a GFG should get one (or on the waiting list) asap.

    Seems to be about a 20-25% increase after a premiership. Hard to estimate how much Covid affected this years tally.. Would be stocked if we can get over 65,000. If we can get over 70,000 would would be at the bottom end of the big clubs (around 7-8 on the tally board).

    I estimate 66,485.

    I’m full MCC but tick the box for extra MFC. 

    Can someone explain to me why MFC has this strange relationship with MCC that other Victorian clubs don't have? I'm assuming there's no tick box for other clubs.

    The majority of MCC members are not Melbourne supporters 

    Melbourne would have most supporters. 
    I wonder if Bulldog and supporters of other clubs are getting the couple of pro Demon emails from MCC?

    The Melbourne Football Club is a sporting section of the Melbourne Cricket Club. No other football club has such a relationship.

    Oh, and around 65,000!

    I'm going out there with a tad over 80k. All those lost supporters and now plenty of kids will get on board and join us long standing members. Wouldn't it be great to get to this figure and no real reason why not. Must be thousand's of Demons out there who are not members

    Now that we’re back in charge of football I’d say 75,002

    make that 80008, sounds so much better

    I'm going to go 80,000 plus based on a couple of reasons.Firstly success and how it was just inspiring and such a stimulating fillip for a city, state and country almost on its knees. Secondly, this is a big adrenalin shot for next year, sports wise and for the MCC it must be marketed properly.

    I rang up today to make sure my two sons had the GFG on their memberships for 2022. One already had one this year the other will be the first time.

    I just had to update something on my membership and was talking to a really nice guy there, he said the club has now sold over $3.5million in merch which is over double what the tigers did in 2017. Also Covid pending they thought memberships should fall between 70,000 and 75,000, said it'd be easy to get there with the MCC members signing up.

    i'd love to see us get 70K+. A bit silly that the memberships are not yet available. The club should be doing their best to sign up new members following the GF and keep the momentum going. 

    The last I spoke to today said they should be available next week (I think she said Tuesday)

    66,666 - I hope I am first to suggest this. If we reach that number, that member should get an upgrade for free.

    So it's part of the MCC but not run by the MCC?

    Really need Dictator Dan to get on top of COVID in Victoria by xmas as some members many maybe reluctant to renew/join, particularly those experiencing financial hardship.

    65,000 is not out of the question but may take a couple of years to get there if COVID continues to cause havoc.

    Can we quit the dictator Dan [censored]?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
