    Does this mean less road trips and other entitled club benefits? 

    Probably not Layzie we are the founding club the oldest in the land we have to lead the way as usual, no special benefits like the rest.!!!!

    Good chance we still get shafted down to the Cattery and Norff in Tassie.  8 interstate trips and no mid season bye .

    Nothing changes but it makes MFC  a strong resilient club though.

    Good. Let's now lobby to get treated on an equal footing to other teams in terms of fixture, prime time television and playing at Geelong.

    This really is absolutely incredible.

    To reach 70,000 is a historically important achievement for the Melbourne Football Club.

    I understand some of these members are last minute for finals tickets. But it still shouldn't be disregarded.

    To think that this amazing Club that we all love almost went extinct in 1996 when we almost merged! We almost went bankrupt a few times too.

    For many years we have struggled to get above 20,000 members. Then we were happy with 40,000 members a few years ago.

    If we continue to have success then we will hopefully continue to grow.

    What a time to be a Melbourne Demons member. Something I have been for 25 years. It really does bring tears to my eyes.

    May our beloved Melbourne Demons keep going from strength to strength!

    Let's aim for 75,000+ members in the near future!

    It just proves that winning Premierships and sustained success will grow your membership. It is a very simple formula.

    GO DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

    A HUGE well done to all of our Demonland brothers and sisters, and everyone else whose hearts are possessed by the red and blue!
    Like every one of us, I’m so excited by what lies almost within touching (kicking?) distance in 2023  ……. and beyond!  Imagine what Flag or two might do to our future membership tallies.  Go Dees!

    Really nice to go to a game and see a range of ages and different nationalities decked out in red and blue. Feels like the club is gathering a lot more new supporters - as opposed the the declining number of 50+ year old, homogenous, grumpy, ex private schoolboys in the mcc (of which I am one) that made up most of our 15k of supporters  who turned up 10-15 years ago.

    we did well to hang on 

    I really never saw us being the club we are now. What a joy!

    So good! Who'd have thought we'd get here 10 years ago?

    And shout out to the roughly 5% of that figure who are AFLW members. According to the club, we've broken our AFLW membership record again as well.

    This is a significant moment. I was watching some clips from the 1990s of Shwartz and Neitz the other day, lucky to be 20,000 people at the ground let alone 20,000 members. And then the whole "benefits of losing" and Mark Neeld eras.

    We are a large, successful, financially stable, long term sponsors-keeping, attractional club with exceptional personnel in the Board and Executive, and great staff & volunteers behind the scenes. We have a dogged, resilient, brilliant coach who the players love, and a team full of talent and marketable personalities. Top 4 - 3 years running.

    Best jumper in the game, our home is THE home of the game, we ARE the history of the game. 

    I have waited a b****y long time for this and I am going to revel in it, and brag about it. Loving it.

    For $30 a year I'd implore all of our supporters who can afford it to consider taking out an AFLW membership. Supporting and investing in our womens competition now will contribute in a significant way to our on field success and pay massive dividends in building our womens competition and making us a big destination club.

    And included in that you can choose between a tote bag or water bottle! 😁

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
