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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
