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]?

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
