I take it pet memberships aren't included in numbers?

Just got one for our new puppy. He is the size and colour of Jake Bowey. Hoping for same winner vibes.

    I think we're about 10k ahead of where we usually are at this stage so tracking well for 65k

    If we keep winning we should reach 60,000 soon. Fingers crossed we can reach 65,000! 🤞

    I think it will take another Premiership in the near future to break the barrier of 70,000+ MFC members.

    In the end, we need to focus on sustained success for the next 10, 20 and even 30 years. If we can do that then our future will be very bright indeed. :cool:

    Andy Maher just said we have about 60,000 members. 

    If so, the 666 special membership today has been a wild success!

    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.

    This is a great deal but I wish I'd held off on my MILs membership. I bought her an armchair membership for $85, could saved $20 and got access to 6 home games 🤷‍♂️

    Spend an extra $66 and get her [censored] off the armchair…

    🤣


    She came to the GWS game, wants to come this week to. I can get her in anyway with our AFL memberships (usually at least one spare to use) but would've been nice to have the additional ticket. No biggie though.

    Ok, well as long as she is getting some exercise. Don’t want a Gilbert Grape situation; those cranes are an expensive rent.

    Geez that's exciting! it's amazing how much success helps! Gary Pert nailed it in the recent interview, we're really battling for the next generation of kids, when you're on top you're more likely to be chosen and that's how you build your fan base into the future and become a powerhouse club. 

    this really feels like a totally different club now from what it was from 2007-2012

    Oath. 

    Players like Gawn, Kosi and Petracca will help. 

    Reckon we need another excitement machine over this period to attract even more kids.

    Can't see the current list plummeting in the next 6 or 7 years, provided that we have an adequate list management plan.

    I know we've compared notes with Melbourne Storm in the past re building culture.  I'm hoping we've learnt what ever they know about staying at the top once you get there.  They've had their generation of absolute top end players come and go and they're still a powerhouse.  Hearing Petracca in a recent interview - it seems like that's what they're wanting to create.

    I am hopeful we do understand that.

    I think all the necessary foundation are there (young talent, cap space?, star players committed long term).

    Jackson and Oliver contracts will be key and pivotal for the next phase of long sustained success.

    For sure we want more than that but let's start with the short-mid term plans.

    I believe it is a synergy that once it clicks just keeps rolling.

    It appears on club websites but not all clubs publish them and when they do they are not easy to find.

    This is a recent update from a bigfootoy thread:

    Carlton 77,000.
    For comparison, other AFL Club Member Numbers
    From Club websites as at 7 April:
    Essendon: 70,482
    Freemantle: 45,298
    Geelong: 58,547
    Melbourne: 55,595
    North Melbourne: 42,234 *
    Richmond: 93,587
    St Kilda: 50.891
    Western Bulldogs: 45,503
    * Note: North website says "42,234 members including 3,050 AFLW Members"

    It is hard to compare because of the different categories of memberships each club offers.

    The AFL isn't built that way (salary cap, draft etc) but some clubs have managed to beat the system. Sydney and Geelong have been up for 20 years missing finals once or twice then back up. Hawks may prove to be that kind of club too albeit with another year or two outside the 8.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
