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.

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.

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 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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
