Does anyone know what our membership figures are? I can't see it on the app. I believe we added roughly 2,000 yesterday with our membership drive.

    The other thing is that only just over 20% of members attend games

    So the money is often just a donation. And the clubs know that too thus, the cheap memberships on offer

    Memberships for pets as well (can you take a cat to the footy?)

    Perhaps the AFL should adopt a system like La Liga? For example, you can become a member (socio) for FC Barcelona. However that is only the membership, you have to pay for season tickets separately.

    I believe it was something like 300 euros a year to maintain the member status. Then you can pay additional 900 euros for all home games (19 games).

    It seems the clubs are moving the other way ... Doggies, Tiges & Demons all offered 10 or 11 games for 100 bucks for this season

    But buying a membership and then not attending games is a very real thing and has been going on for decades

    Of course, in the big sports overseas they charge like wounded bills as compared to sport in Oz. But the demand to attend games is huge (overseas) ... thus, the higher charges to attend

    Supply & Demand

    Interesting comparison to European football. In the US if you purchase an NBA season pass and don't attend you can on sell you seat for that game. Again, only works if demand outweighs supply.

    For sure the prices in Europe for example are not attainable in Australia.

    I guess the arm chair membership is similar to what I mentioned, just paying to be a voting member.

    Or to help out their club financially

    Great news - according to the OP we didn’t hit 50k last year until the end of April/start of May.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
