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”. 😀

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round
NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
