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.

Good Clubs beat the System 

A Quick Dip each decade and straight back up to where they expect to be

That must be us….

    Geez, The Weagles are off the planet!

    I just had a peek at their Website ( covid free I hope). Currently, to get a match access membership you have to go through an "In the Wings" waiting process. This costs $55 PA.

    Their premium memberships ( reserved seat) are $1675 and $1195 .

    The "Club 87" ( $1675) appears to be the equivalent of my Trident Membership (just over $600)

    They are rolling in it!

    The $20M is only cash.  They have $60M in current assets, and about $130M in total assets.

    In a recent interview Pert mentioned there is 12,000 MCC members who identify as supporting the Dees but don't have the reciprocal membership.

    If we can get all of those setup as members we suddenly have 70,000....

    At least we are in the top 8! Which is not bad for a club that was a mess for 57 years.

    What were the numbers for Richmond before their golden years of 2017-2020?

    I wouldn't think their membership numbers were higher than 60k?

    A full member of the MCC is paying $750 a year and has access home games and to the MCC Grand Final ballot. The MFC/MCC dual membership exists in either a $89 or $225 add-on. For the $89 add on you get a few things and are included in the membership tally and get the hat/scarf etc. Will be a bit of struggle getting some of these across at a time where some people are trying to trim expenses etc.

    I reckon most MCC members aren’t trimming the Balvenie and wagyu budget and Netflix in the face of our current inflationary pressures and 0.25 RBA OCR target increase

    Not sure but they have always had a big supporter base, even in their dark years.

    I think the days of MCC members being rich snobs are pretty much over. It's no longer about 'who you know', but rather, 'how long are you willing to wait'. AFL memberships cost about the same.

    You would have to think we will break 60k.

    I would think so.  3 months to go before the count stops and we only need 319 additional members.

    all those who predicted 60k-65k look like they were on the money

    hard to see > 65k, but you never know

    Last year we put on 8000 between now and the end of the season. And  at a time when fans knew they wouldn't be able to see a game live in Melbourne. 

    I said at the start of the season, 65k would be a pass, 70k would be a good result.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
