I'd be interested to know if the numbers follow the same criteria for each club.  Are 3 game memberships included, pet memberships, etc.?

The numbers for 11 game + memberships would be interesting to see but not sure if available.

+note to George - Tigers also declined in numbers

    Thanks...missed that one, but we still won the "lost members" premiership by a long margin.....

    ...and all manner of membership types are counted. e.g I count for 3 memberships with AFLW, MCC and Tridents but there is still only 1 me.

    Truth is we only have about 40K real live bodies who are eligible to vote

    Spin, no doubt, but also a glimmer of a bigger future. Play to keep them in '25, boys (and you Season 9 girls!)

    I am not surprised, 2024 has been nightmarish with a media pile on the likes of which only the Bombers have previously suffered. Our lack of a Marketing/ Media guru has been telling, when we should have gone on the front foot to defend our club we stood idle and just took it, maybe the fact that we were being attacked internally (legally) as well as externally by a number of lesser lights in the press would have really hurt us and this wasn’t helped by a couple of our players antics in ‘23-24 and then a couple of very poor losses and the Petracca debacle really hurt us on and off the field.

    let’s hope that out of these Reviews they identify the need to build a very strong marketing/ media savvy team to defend and strengthen our mighty club.

    I'm sorry but I think what I read here is that we can be saved by spin. The reality is we have a poor Board (appalling decision-making), and  a poor CEO,  and nobody can spin us out of that. We, the members need to change our governance. It can be done. The reviews were going to be "internal", and run by the CEO, right up until the fateful interview by our former President. It was the members that turned it "external", not the spin doctors. Long live the members. You have the power! Because these reviews are not external, they are not independent - clearly just the CEO trying to save his job. Look up (the Board), look down (the Football Department), but don't look in the mirror.

    @george_on_the_outer

    I contacted the club re the current tally and they have updated the website.

    Current numbers are image.png.2a8c3641df86b140cb9c6dba7c1ebdc0.png so maybe it is time add 2025 to this thread.

    We seem to be tracking at 2022 (year after the premiership) level.  That isn't too bad given where we ended up in 2024.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
