I saw advertising where St. Kilda were offering 2 for 1 Memberships. I hope that only counts as 1.

Yes they were hammering that on SEN last Wednesday or Thursday, I wondered if it would only count as 1 but more than likely will count as 2.

    This membership table comes from the HS on 19 Feb. West Coast had the most members last year and are probably on top at this point. We are having our best year ever and are 9th. A bit of a reality check about the relative strengths of the Clubs and where we sit. 

    Richmond 84,948
    Collingwood 70,000
    Carlton 67,928
    Essendon 60,678 
    Hawthorn 60,100
    Port Adelaide 52,164
    Geelong 49,055
    St Kilda 43,500
    Melbourne 43,000
    Adelaide 40,000 +
    Fremantle 40,000
    Western Bulldogs 38,824
    North Melbourne 38,756
    Sydney Swans 35,722
    Brisbane Lions 29,318
    GWS Giants 25,094
    Gold Coast 8,721
     

    Makes me puke seeing the Carlton and Essendon membership numbers where they are given how crap they've been for years.

    I think there will be a huge serge in wthe first couple of rounds as we celebrate the premiership., I’m still predicting 65-70k which will put us well within the top six. If we go back to back 2023 will be well in excess of 100,000.

    ‘Well in excess of 100k’…

    You are just setting yourself up for disappointment.

    We need to be in the top 4-6 teams for 6+ years with at least 2 flags and then we can talk about having market share like that.

    Ok so I want to sign up, I was a redlegs member back in the darkest days from 2008-2013, but those are all sold out now and the trident too (which is around the price range). Forgive me if I'm wrong but if I'm a member I only want to sit amongst my fellow kin and be undercover.

    Of the 40k or so we have currently what is the breakdown of memberships? in terms of Redlegs, Trident and so on...

    So are you saying you won’t buy a membership if you aren’t assured an undercover seat?

    And you were a member in 2013?

    So possibly getting wet < 2012 Neeld era Dees?

     

    Maths is wild.

    There’s a roof going over the ‘G so you’re all good with the undercover part.

    They should have reserved seat packages for undercover seats on level 1 can't remember what it's called though.

    talk to membership on the phone.

    i'm sure they can easily find you a reserved seat under cover

    There used to be a membership category called "demon seats - undercover" that was on level 1 on the wing. Had GF guarantee too if I remember correctly ...

    I predict we will be at 65-70 thousand by mid year particularly if we start well and the girls take out the flag. We traditionally sign up a lot of our members in the first 3 or 4 weeks of the year, and so it will be this year.

    I can only assume you're a youngster... 

    We reached approx 53,000 members after our grand final win. Some of those members were WA people who support other clubs but purchased a membership to gain GF entry. 

    Where do you believe another 15-20k members are going to appear from by the middle of the year? 

    The only possible way that could possibly happen is if the MFC/MCC dual membership came down to some ridiculous price. 

    I don't understand where you think that amount of new members will come from if not from the MCC?

    Weve had more than that many unique members over the last 5-10 years.

    We were on track for $60k before Covid hit again.

    I don't think 65k is out of the realms of possibility after a flag, but I think it will end up somewhere between 60k and 65k.

    I reckon if we build a new entertainment,training, community centre in Fishermans Bend/ Port Melbourne with its anticipated 800,00 new residents we could easily look at that membership.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
