There methodology seems a bit sus with you have west coast ranked below us a team that sells out every game even when winning the wooden spoon, makes more money than god and have a wait list on memberships, and probably makes multiples on sponsorships than we do

    I have no knowledge of brand valuations and their methodology but here is a link if anyone is interested:

    I would say that MFC does certainly have some additional value as a brand as it has the name 'Melbourne' and also has the history of being the original foundation football club for the code itself.

    Who takes responsibility for this?

    Gee, it wouldn't be the president that was turfed out or the CEO that everyone's beying for the blood of, would it?

    And after ranking 10/18, the next story will be that old chestnut about how Sydney has the most fans of any team in Australia.

    I find that so laughable.  Sydney base that on a Morgan Gallup poll.  I mean, if random people were phoned and asked "what AFL team do you support?", of course 99% of Sydneysiders are going to say Sydney, same as 99% of Melburnians would say Storm if they were asked about NRL.  Does it mean they actively barrack for them?  Clearly no.  They would only have said that because it was the only AFL team they heard of.

    How exactly were these results calculated? I find it crazy that we are above West Coast who I would expect to be in the top 4 at least. Is it just our recent success that has seen us jump so high?

    Dubious methodology. I hate them both but no way we are more valuable than the Eagles or the Hawks.

    Ranking surprised me. I would have thought Adelaide is up there and to rank Eagles and Dockers effectively even is amazing. Eagles are a real power brand held back only by onfield performance

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
