I can only assume you're a youngster... 

We reached approx 53,000 members after our grand final win. Some of those members were WA people who support other clubs but purchased a membership to gain GF entry. 

Where do you believe another 15-20k members are going to appear from by the middle of the year? 

The only possible way that could possibly happen is if the MFC/MCC dual membership came down to some ridiculous price. 

I don't understand where you think that amount of new members will come from if not from the MCC? 

 

I won’t argue with you: l’ll just point to the scoreboard towards the end of May.

I also suggest you look at the pattern of signing on from one year to the next. Members do not necessarily automatically renew, but l bet nearly all of them will this year following our success, and most of this is done in the month either side of the season start, and that does not include the bonus of the new members who are new demon supporters who’ve want to join the premiership bandwagon plus the rub off of the womens’ potential success. Just look at the way Hawthorn went from having one of the smallest membership lists to one of the biggest on the back of their three premierships, which l think we shall more than replicate.
 

We shall see, but l bet I’m closer than your pessimistic projections. Perhaps I’m just more optimistic about our continuing success than you!

We were on track for $60k before Covid hit again.

I don't think 65k is out of the realms of possibility after a flag, but I think it will end up somewhere between 60k and 65k.

I agree, 65k if we have a solid year. You can see from George's table that it's a pretty slow burn from March onwards... There are a couple of unknowns this year - the flag and (hopefully) being lockdown-free compared to the past two seasons. However, I think most of this would have already been factored into the tally.

The clubs usually have a big membership drive day in partnership wth SEN. That normally adds a couple of thousand. I don't think we've had that yet.

Hopefully we can also continue to convert MCC members to dual membership to up the numbers.

Would love to know the total number of demon supporting MCC members.

FYI this isn't a dig at MCC members, would just love to know how it would make our total supporter base numbers look in comparison to other clubs.

We have just over 20% of the 130,000 MCC members. Not sure how many of those are already dual members...

Also how many if them select "Melbourne" as their club but aren't really huge footy fans so unlikely to spend extra on a dual membership?

Just for the heck of it I extracted each team's Twitter follower stats:

image.png.90127b851c906b8da41bc821c0b21648.png

I recall that a couple of years ago our figure was approx 40K.  So 70K is a big improvement.  However, we are right down the ladder across the AFL. 

It is a bit disappointing given we have just won a flag.

Our figure may reflect our fan demographics ie much older fans who typically don't use social media. 

Nonetheless, it says we have work to do to win over a younger generation.

Wow, lower than expected. I know we have much higher Instagram followers than many of those teams, it jumped up about 30 thousand during the finals. Not sure about Facebook. Would be great to add those two columns if you have time!

Including Instagram

For Instagram we rank 11th which is probably closer to our membership ranking.

Not sure how to get fb figures without loggin into each club's fb page.

Come on Dees Suporters, we are finally a great side and we are only 43000 members.

All MCC members be a member of the MFC, and raise our tally.

We are going to be a powerhouse of a team and we should at least get to 70000+ members.

Get on board the Dee Train

Go the Mighty Demons

think you're flogging a dead horse here dp. the board has decided the new home is to be in the mcg precinct

Certainly appear  to be. I guess now that I live in Beechworth I look at the MCG precinct as a little larger than when I lived in Northcote.

Access and parking appear to be more difficult but it was always resolved by staying around post game while crowds dwindled.

it would be great after a match to get express train to Fishermans Bend entertainment training centre where car would be parked, maybe even overnight accommodation if required.

Correct DC. Why people keep thinking fisherman's bend is beyond me. The board says G precinct. Everything else will not happen. 

As quoted to DC plus I think the Gprecinct is maybe a little more sacred with less room for the required facility.

I have previously suggested that Tigers go down to Tassie as the Tassie Tigers and we redevelop Punt road facility.

if fisherman's bend ever gets 80,000 high density residents the parking opportunities will be worse than mcg/sports precinct

Totally support that idea. A neighbour is from Tassie (car still plates) and has tigers stickers on back window. Maybe he knows something.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
