Surely we can crack 60,000. We are 4-0. 
Get on it people. 

We will blast through 60k. 70k will be a shake from here… maybe next year.

Just amazing.

It is isn't it!

Remember when we released the strategic plan for 2020-2023?  I remember thinking the mens premiership and 75k members was pie in the sky stuff... but we are currently on track.  Others will know better than me how we are doing on the financials and re our facilities.

So this is what is in our strategic plan:

OUR AMBITIONS
FOR 2020-2023

1. ON-FIELD PERFORMANCE

• Play in AFL and AFLW Finals each year

• Win at least 1 AFL and 1 AFLW Premiership

2. FINANCIAL

• Deliver a combined $4m profit over 4 years

• Eliminate debt

• $30m + of income producing assets

3. OUR PEOPLE

• To have a culture that inspires excellence and attracts new talent

4. OUR FANS

• Grow to 75k members

• MCG home game average crowds of 50k +

5. OUR FACILITIES

• Finish construction of high-performance facility at Casey Fields

• Start construction of new Melbourne home base facility

Seems to be getting smaller.

With 56,841 members, is anyone brave enough to predict a crowd of over 30,000 for Saturday's game?

Im predicting 24-25,000 for the game. Easter weekend and lots of families going away for a few days R&R.

 

Anything over 28,000 would be a great result. 

You need to update your name 13, maybe to 15…?


The fact that they still aren't allowing walk up/ins to all games is stopping thousands from going. 

It's extremely frustrating. Obviously there are other reasons. 

But having to go online to book tickets is just ridiculous with where our state is at. There's no contact tracing any more. Why are we doing it?

100% agree. Plus there is also isolation required for close contacts, even if they are testing negative on RATs.

My GF had Covid during the Bombers game and I had already had it 2 months prior, plus was testing negative to RATs. But due to the rules I couldn't go to the game....

That’s a bold number.

Really small increase since last week....have the numbers not been tallied over Easter? 

Still 13K ahead of last years position.

George, do you happen to know if all our GF guarantee memberships have been sold?

Last year we added 10k from here on, which would put us around 67k. But we should do even better than last year considering we can actually watch the games and finals live!!!

Yesterday I dropped my kids at holiday program - out of the 15-20 kids there were 3 wearing melbourne jumpers. And this was not a 'footy colours day' or 'dress up day', just 3 little legends wearing their jumpers with pride! 18 months ago you would not see this. Go Dees!!

yes you are correct tincan .I thought last year we ended up with 57 but checking the always accurate figures of GOTO it was in fact 54000

My kids are wearing their Demons guernsey's/hoodies everywhere they go these days. They get upset when they have to go in the wash! Only solution is to buy more 🤣

All of the reserved seat packages with GF guarantee have sold out. Was a about 3 weeks ago I believe.

Yep had a look then and sold out already, good for the club!

Had a look and mine auto-renewed in October, glad that happened cos I definitely would have spaced it out a little, bought last years in June

 

 

Today is 'Membership Day' on SEN.

Club has a special promotion:  6 Home games GA membership for $66.00.  Has priority access ticket rights to first 3 rounds of finals ie not the GF.

I just bought 2 for friends/family who might want to come along.  They are GA memberships so can't sit in my level 2 Reserved Redlegs area but seats can be reserved for them at $30 each for level 2A to sit together.

Pretty good deal!

Detail here:  membership/666-6-games

 

Edit:  I bought them on my account but they can also be bought in for a new member account if that is preferred.  I found it a lot easier to just buy them and allocate them as each game comes up to whoever is free to go to the game.  Just rang the club and done in a few minutes.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
