Anyone have the latest membership figures?

When I renewed my membership a few weeks back I asked the guy on the phone, apparently about 10,000 have signed up already.

Well this was in todays Members newsletter which was received today:

2008 Membership

The Club’s membership drive has started strongly, and a big thanks to the 13,636 members who have already signed up for 2008, which is on track to achieve our record membership target of 30,000 members in our 150 year. For those yet to renew, do so now to beat the pre-season rush.

This is awesome our membership has been growing very consistantly over the past couple of years!! Hopefully one day (2010?) we can be a real power house with 40-50000 members that would be dream come true!!


This is slightly off the topic but are we getting stickers this year?

Good question.

I rang the club a while ago and was told we'll be getting the season guide along with stickers early in the year.

Hopefully this means we'll be getting them soon, and hopefully they won't fade like previous years.

Am getting a new car tomorrow and can't wait to destroy the paint with Melbourne stickers :lol:

??

currently 13636, heard it a bbq the other night....got a members e-mail

According to today's website it is currently at 15,385. Just received AFL membership renewels in the mail last week so expect that to increase by at least 5!

Just curious, does anyone know if the players and officials purchase memberships themselves? At our local country footy club the players are required to purchase club memberships for about $25, which gives them entry to all home games. Obviously with MFC players and officials they wouldn't require them for match-day entry, but it could be a handy little revenue booster and the increase in membership numbers couldn't hurt either......


why would a paid employee purchase a membership?? Sorry Neeta..ya cant play without ya card mate !! lol..

I dont think so :rolleyes:

financial semantics ...surely..

Our figure is disapointing (15K) compared to everyone else. The price you pay for having the year from hell.

Roos are on 20K. (I bet this won't be the case next year if they miss the finals)

Lions are on 19K (they were lower than us last year)

Dogs, Richmond and St Kilda are on about 17-18K

The rest are over 20K

Melbourne - 15,385

Richmond - 17,103

Brisbane - 19,037

Kangaroos - 19,376

St Kilda - 20,260

Port - 24,914

Essendon - 28,419

These figures are from the clubs websites.

I couldn't find the other clubs figures from the quick look I had.


So we are the lowest? :o

Melbourne - 15,385

The same figure has been up on the website for well over 2 weeks now. I'm sure it has increased in that time, but they haven't bothered updating it.

In the Press it was said the Roos had 12,000 just prior to the start of the 2007 season. Bit of a dead cat bounce!

At what were the respective Clubs figures current as at. Regardless the MFC figures are not unreasonable relative to the others.

The big issue for me is not just the bold numbers of members but also the mix of full paying as opposed to nominal paying members.

On memberships does anyone know if there is a backlog?

I purchased mine about a month ago and haven't recieved anything yet...

in an article on our website...." Visit from Dees is just Capital".... it mentions membership of 18,000 BUT homepage has not been adjusted !!!!

Right, by my understanding, we're on about 18,000 now (as mentioned by ummmm21) and in about the same ballpark as the Dogs, Tigers and Saints.

I've gotta admit I'm surprised that the Kangaroos haven't continued to climb, given the huge surge in memberships following the 'we'll fight on' declaration. I'd worry a little if it turned out that it was simply all the usual members just signing up early, and they don't actually add a big pile to their final tally. Seriously, there are people from other clubs buying a Kangaroos membership just to make a statement, they are in real trouble if they can't get a huge spike in members in this context.

As for us, 18,000 at this time of year isn't exciting, but is far from a crisis. A round one smashing of Hawthorn (without Lewis, Hodge and Crawford) should give a sting to the numbers (fingers crossed etc..). Especially with a likely contest in round 2, our first home game, against the Bulldogs. Momentum can build ever so quickly (touch wood, throw salt over shoulder, go outside, turn around three times, curse and spit)

It's a shame we don't get to play in Melbourne until at least round 3 of the [censored] cup, even if we win through and avoid some of the exciting trips to Geraldton and Wagga.

As far as the fight back is concerned for the Roos it all p1$$ and wind. The figure of 19,376 would be buoyed by the media spin and a fantastic performance last year. Its a fantastic effort but hardly sustainable. Without the media focus on the future and poor season in 2006 they had only 12,000 members to the start of 2007. I reckon they will struggle to push 25,000 especially if there 2007 golden run of injuries stops and their performance goes pear shaped.

18,000 for MFC is definitely part of a crisis we are facing. Our best membership effort was sub 30,000 and that included a mix of $40 members. Hell, Richmond can still get 30k+ members and their team is repeatedly crap. Coupled with our low turnover, MFC is in one long crisis.

I bought mine 4 months ago and still haven't received it. Call them and they keep saying they'll send it in two weeks.

Way to impress your members.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
