    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

    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....

    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!!

    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 🤣

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
