Wow.

Now we will only have to go to Geelong for the next 20 years.

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!!! 🔴🔵👹

What is the definition of a 'big club'?

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!

Top 4 three years in a row.

Goody and team are doing their bit.

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! 

Such a brilliant result. Well done to everyone who paid up! 
 

Now let’s win another flag and get to 80,000!

shattered? why would you think that?  

i'm overjoyed to see my prediction of 70k come true

 

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: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
