Browsing the club website I noticed membership to date is 19,026.
Thought you might like some approximate comparisons so I have created this table from several sources.
Past: Date/Members Final # Mbrs Year

10 Nov 2014 -19,124 35,953 2015
We are ahead of last years Nov 10 figure by 2 weeks.
Our best year was 2011 with 36,937!
2015 could have been a lot better and hopefully, the fixture early next year is a bit kinder - playing Freo, Swans and Hawks in consecutive weeks was a membership killer.
If we have to play all of them in the first half hopefully they are scattered so we can sneak in a few wins between them and keep supporters optimistic and enthusiastic.
PJ's goal of 50,000 for 2017 isn't looking too flash. Lets hope we get 40,000+ for 2016.
Of course, winning a few games early will work wonders!! Get the supporters back to the 'G'.
Imagine the crowd if Trengove, Petracca and Hogan all line up for Rnd 1.
Imagine the roar!
Go Dees 2016!!!
