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!

 

Ha ha I signed my youngest up today and the membership team sounded very happy as well once I got through to them😀

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
