2023 membership

Would we also have the worst combo of small base/lower average income as a supporter group? Given real wages have dropped to something like 2009 levels it's not a huge surprise that we might fall behind a hoity toity club like Melbourne a bit (especially while they're very successful and easy to watch on field).

Total numbers mean little with all the various specials, kids, pets, etc. At the end of the day all that matters is membership $$$.

Every club offers this including us. It would be good to see actual $ return on all membership sales across all clubs.

Agree 100%. Is this number every made public?

In the Annual Report - $9.1 million in 2022, up from $7.6 in 2021.

As a comparison:

North $5.9 in 2022, $5.5 in 2021.

St Kilda $8.7 in 2022, $8.1 in 2021.

Interesting. Thanks. Shows there's more in it than pure "numbers".

Wow. That is compelling.

Our membership $ are 54% higher than NMFC.

That's much more relevant. Thank you.

Total membership numbers are mostly a marketing tactic these days.

We were on 47,962 on the same date last year so it's up 6.5%

With the AFLW season not starting this year until early September, I would think the cut off date for the official total will be put right back from the end of July.

My guess is we will reach the magical 54k.
