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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
