    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! 😁

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
