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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
