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.

I wonder if it possible (or even beneficial) if, in the future, for the Melbourne Football CLUB to have a membership that fully covers its three teams - Men, Women and Casey? And from a central pool of membership funds, the club administration distributes the required funds appropriately to each of these teams. It feels logical and reasonable from my moderately informed position, but perhaps there are others who could explain why it couldn't work.

    Congratulations to all at the MFC Board, Players (AFL, VFL and AFLW) and every fan on this magnificent achievement. 

    The Strategic Plan aims at 75,000 so we are that close. If we can win our 14th Flag this year it's totally on the cards that we can get to 75/80,000 in the near future. Heady and even more exciting days.

    What we need is the extra 5/10,000 each game especially our lower profiled games vs GWS Suns Freo and North to  consolidate this growth.

    Our 50,000 average home MCG should be smashed next year and all those reserved seats for sale in the Ponsford Stand will be gone also. Mubb B h to Perty,s drlight.

    Big month of September starting tomorrow night with the fantastic record winning AFLW premiership team in the spotlight opening their defence of that great flag just under a year ago. 

    Strength  in numbers Dees there are still some fans to join and be rewarded by our major role  and that is to continue to play consistent strong tough and exciting footy that makes us so proud of.our Club.

    Go you mighty Dees. Onwards and Upwards. Play with that Demon Spirit and be Possessed!!

    We're officially a big club now ⭐️

     

    I have a question for the distinguished older Melbourne Demons members and supporters.

    Were we ever considered a "big club" in the past?

    Were we ever considered "up there" with Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton and Richmond in regard to size etc?

    In particular, I am talking about in the 1950s and 1960s? I know we had large crowds attend games. But did we have large membership numbers back then too? 🤔

    nobody had large membership numbers back then

    supporters? that's a different story

    remember, tickets were cheap and walk up, most venues were full at 20k (or seemed like it) and it was mostly standing room. who needed a membership?

    (mcg was different obviously and like chalk and cheese compared to the other suburban grounds)

    Pre the Tigers coming to the MCG we always had the biggest crowds simply because going to the MCG and sitting to watch a game was a very rare experience for the supporters of other clubs.

    As daisycutter has alluded to it's hard to imagine what comparative "dumps" other grounds were. Remember the MCG had been given a big renovation for the 1956 Olympic Games.

    Even back then we always had an older supporter base. Late 50's & 60's we had a lot of younger supporters but slowly they just gave it up as the team wasn't successful. Great to see so many young faces in the crowd now. Success breeds new supporters.

    That was my impression in the early sixties with ‘Esserdon’ perhaps the third most popular. St Kilda were briefly a bit of a glamour club mid-sixties with Carl Ditterich and Ian Cooper taking hangers. 

    North, South, Fitzroy, Hawthorn were nobodies and Footscray only existed out west. Dad took me to Glenferrie once and we outnumbered home fans.

    My impression has always been that we lost a lot of supporters to Hawthorn and Richmond over the years. And probably the Essendon's and Carlton's too.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
