Not sure if this has appeared on Demonland, but this is a very interesting survey regarding AFL club support and memberships.

We all would be hoping for increased memberships as a result of success and hopefully future achievements. However based on our supporter base and current membership conversion which is already at a very high level, getting over 65,000 members might be difficult.

    note that the survey was for 14+ tears old

    to increase our members into the future years we need to capture the young kids in primary school

    Some of those figures look peculiar to say the least, I find it hard the fathom the Crows having 400,000 more fans than Port Adelaide.

    And I would be surprised if there are that many more St Kilda supporters than Dees fans based on these results.

    Every year they come out with the same statistics which have a very fundamental flaw. 

    Ask anyone in NSW which AFL side they follow, and they say Sydney, not because they do, but it is the only one reported on in that state.  It would be the same as asking people in Melbourne which NRL club they support. 

    You can see the same problem in SA.  Does anyone seriously think they have that much support nationwide?  There are only 2 clubs in the state, and you either support Port or you hate them.

    Morgans then translate those state based survey result into nationwide support. 

    Trouble is 4 of the top 5 sides identified in the survey come from the 2 team based States, all outside Victoria. 

    Surely that should ring a bell?

    I just thought a professional market research firm could see the flawed methodology. Maybe I went wrong when I thought “professional”. 😀

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
