Yeah, a total failure.

Play in AFL and AFLW Finals each year

Win at least 1 AFL and 1 AFLW Premiership

And a VFL flag last season also and finals in 2021. 

 

Thanks DC it’s great to see the numbers stick ticking over, could get close to 68k.👍

We might still be a sneaky chance to reach 70,000 Melbourne Football Club members?

But I think it is more a realistic objective for next year.

 

Nevertheless, gotta keep winning Premierships for our membership numbers to continue to grow.

Omg. I love that gif... I've just watched it over and over again for about a minute. 🤣


Waiting for the announcement of $5 one game "memberships" to get us to our 75,000 target.

Yep, and the St Kilda offer pretty much prove the point, membership numbers (for all clubs) at the end of the day mean diddly squat.

Surprised they don’t offer steak knives as an incentive.

The only real number that counts (most certainly for the players) is how many of their supporters turn up on game day and how loud they are.  

Putting a positive spin on it, we are doing okay but I’m hoping we will end up doing a lot better. Couple of BIG away games coming up (Richmond/ Carlton).  I hope we, the supporters do the team proud.

In fairness $1 is probably fair value for the product they are selling.

Membership numbers in isolation mean nothing but one member = one additional person on the mailing list. Mailing lists holistically are worth A LOT especially to sponsors. Sponsors don't care whether they are $1 or $1000 members. You sign up, they have your details. 

Collingwood goes to a company and says "We have 100,000 people ready to be emailed, SMS'd and called to talk about your brand, from us. How about it?" It's 30k more than Melbourne.

Sponsorship these days to the every day joe is just a number but from a business perspective it's getting people in so the club can say "We have this many people willing to spend money with us." It represents purchase intent.

We have a good engagement level of membership to attendance but overall in terms of money coming in *beyond* membership, it makes a difference.

I wonder what the asterisk after the $1 is for?

I believe their tagline is “you’ve given your personal details to Facebook for free! So give us a dollar and give them to us you walking gmail account!”

 

And once again, membership numbers are a waste of time as a measurement of whatever it is you think it measures.

Today is the "cut off day" for Melbourne Demons memberships I think?

I encourage those who haven't signed up yet to do so. A great Birthday or Christmas present is a Melbourne Demons membership.

Nevertheless, I understand the detrimental effects of the rise in the cost of living and how expensive memberships are.

Fingers crossed we get "close" to 70,000 members? Sadly, I think that tally is just beyond us, for the time being.

However, I will reiterate that we need to continue to win MORE Premierships if we ever want to compete with the BIG 4 or 5 Victorian AFL Clubs in Richmond, Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton and Hawthorn.

Striving to achieve our objective of 75,000+ members is still a lofty goal set in the MFC Strategic Plan. But it is possible! We just need to keep winning Premierships!

it's just the cutoff date for afl reporting purposes

we will keep selling memberships up until gf day, so the count still continues

making finals will ensure more memberships so people can get higher priorities on tickets and bring along more friends, relatives etc.

end of afl reporting period 67,673

68k won't be far away ...  and then ...?

 

Win the premiership this year and crack the 75k target the following year? GO DEES!!

Thanks DC those numbers are really gratifying considering where we have come from, get to a prelim this year will give us 70k next year, snag a flag and it will be 75k. Wahooo.!!

You need to commit to buying a 2024 membership to get access to the $1 memberships. I've seen plenty of worse ploys from other clubs.

there is an outside chance they could get to 70k this year

from the end of july cutoff date to the final count, last year they added about 1.5k\

bit of finals success, bit of push and shove, who knows?

70k sounds soooo much better than 68k


Beat Blue baggers on Saturday night and that will help with a couple of hundred extra’s.!!!

Lots of families doing it tough, could blame the interest rate hikes and increased cost of living for not pushing closer to the 75k mark.

Wooo wooo, I think I can, I think I can.!!!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
