    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!

    Congratulations to all of us.

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
