Great stuff. Now make sure you rock up to the G this weekend.  It is just so important that we vastly outnumber the opposition 

For what it’s worth, the weather app that I use shows at the moment that there will be no rain when we play on Saturday evening 🤞(yes I know BOM says it will be wet - just like it did for last Friday evening). GO DEES!

Amazing.  Let's get to 70000 next year!

With this number, we are reaching up to be classed as a “power club”. At this rate of improvement and continued success on the field we could get to 100k within three years. That is huge. I can remember when the figure was less than half our current number. Here are the latest numbers:

Club 2022 Membership Tally  Record
Adelaide 40,000 64,437 (2019)
Brisbane 40,973 40,973
Carlton 84,769 84,769
Collingwood 86,641 86,641
Essendon 78,579 84,237 (2019)
Fremantle 53,549 55,639 (2018)
Geelong 66,048 70,293 (2021)
Gold Coast 8,721 19,460 (2021)
GWS 30,861 30,861
Hawthorn 70,007 81,211 (2019)
Melbourne 62,813 62,813
North Melbourne 48,639 48,639
Port Adelaide 59,146 59,146
Richmond 99,213 105,084 (2021)
St Kilda 57,930 57,930
Sydney 51,642 61,912 (2019)
West Coast 100,000 106,422 (2021)
Western Bulldogs 49,593 49,593

I measure our rating and potential through my “grandkids test”. I have four grand kids under 7. Up until last year they used to be ridiculed when they wore their Dees jumper in the play ground. That all changed around September last year. Now they tell me the majority of footy jumpers in the playground are red and blue. 

An encouraging sign…

Where to go from here now? Regardless of the outcome of this year's finals, surely we expect 70k+ members in 2023.

Might be a few less members next year after our disappointing final series.

It may be a slow start but I hope and expect that if the team shows the high level intensity from 2021 and we have a good start of the season, supporters will come and join!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
