Got to remember that since our membership has risen there has been a few years of covid, I think people's fear of it is receding as there are many more people heading into the city on my vline train everyday, so hopefully that means more wont be so afraid to go to the footy.

    Can't understand how you can be so confident that these people will show up.

    It didn't happen after a flag, why would it happen now.

    Our round 1 crowd is the most interesting of all the games. Could be as high as 60 and as low as 40.

    Yes FTB really good point you make and I think our growth is a work in progress that will hopefully develop as we continue to have sustained success.

    Our current team has this season (practice matches only so far admittedly) proved to be playing a very watchable form of footy along with a sort of maturity involving the Clubs seriously good prime movers who have the opportunity to enhance our standing in the AFL as a force to be respected and feared on the field.

    Our membership base which is  growing  may realise this group is a potentially generational side who have a great opportunity to not only entertain but create a reputation as our greatest ( and only) modern team capable of forging some sort of success to recall the glory days of the 50's snd 60's.

    Lets hope for at least 50,000 plus on the 18th to open the season.

    We all had our things like that. There was a time in the Foxtel days every time I was at a game and IQ recorded it at home we lost so I stopped.

    Let me ask you this, were you at either of the Sydney or Brisbane finals?

    If not, then I can confirm you are not the reason

    Do the best you can, there is more to life than football. What about a 3-5 game membership.

    Digital ticketing was another big hurdle for people, as well as having to pre-purchase tickets for a while even as reserve seat or H&A members.

    All this is gone this year, which will hopefully help get more people to the games.

    Home games on Anzac Eve as well as Kings Birthday will further help boost our attendance numbers.

    We had a strange draw last year where we had a lot of home games followed by a lot of away games, where we started to drop off. That too didn't help attendance later in the year, nor playing both finals against interstate sides.

    Our last 4 crowds at the MCG were:

    Round 21  vs Pies        70,000  home

    Round  22 vs Blues      55,000  home 

    Qualifying Final  vs Swans  72,000 or 78, 000 not sure. 

    Semi Final vs Lions       62,000

    Hardly a drop off. !!! Yes if we played Pies Cats or Tigers would have been sellouts I suppose.

    Attendance was good don’t get me wrong but as you say we got 70,000 for a H&A game against Pies but only 62,000 for a semi final because we played an interstate side. 
    We would have got 90,000+ if we played Pies and easily 80,000 if we played Cats

    I understand but it will change hopefully that a greater % will actually attend our home games. Hopefully this year. 

    Agreed. It is a question of building increased engagement from fans from season to season. The casual tv supporter gets a 3 game membership.

    The 3 game membership person upgrades to all home matches membership the following season and goes to say 8 games ...

    ... you get the idea ...

    Sustained success will bring Crowds. The Flag in ‘21 is huge, but we need more September Success to pull big crowds regularly

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
