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:

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.

I have seen little kids walking around my suburb in Melbourne Jumpers. First time i have EVER seen that happen. 
It will take a few years to build it right up.

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 should never be a plan

It should be a Law. We should be fighting for Premiership Cups every year

Excuse my ignorance, how can we see other clubs up to date figures of their memberships?

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
