We are the biggest and proudest club in land.
Why are we 5th in AFL for members ?
I’ve been a paid up member for 25 years and have never dropped regardless of team performance.
I am embarrassed about this result, this is really disappointing given are performance on field.
More people need to go from supporter/barrackers to members to make our club the strongest and biggest in land again.

| To be expected after missing finals for several years and most pundits expecting us to finish near the bottom this year. After what we have achieved this season, however, I reckon you'll see a very big jump in our membership next season. Basically, memberships tend to jump AFTER a team has enjoyed a really good season - hence the Tigers 100,000 members this year, not last year when they won the flag. |

So we didn’t sell enough memberships to babies and family pets. Who cares? 75,000 is heaps.

They should publish membership revenue by team instead. 40,000 18-game memberships is better than 80,000 3-game memberships.

AFL MEMBERSHIP BREAKDOWN 2018
Total AFL members: 1,008,494
Without the spin, "ACTUAL" Membership are as follows:
11-game home membership: 345,079
Home and away membership (at least 16-17 game memberships): 111,554 = 456,623 AFL CLUB MEMBERS
The "FUDGED" figures to increase the numbers or stretch the truth are as follows:
Five-game, general admission or less than 11 game membership: 121,413
Three-game membership: 151,186
Remaining membership categories: 279,261 (member of a club without entry rights (email Address), AFLW member, Auskick membership, stadium member or AFL member)
I call it clever accounting, so cut the AFL figures (spin) in half and your on the money. |

We missed Finals for 4 Seasons and been very poor last 2 Seasons.
So not a Huge Shock

Exactly. Gross membership numbers is pointless.

^ Do we not have 3 game memberships? How do we know what type all ours are? Do we know?

| ^ If we care enough, we can note current prices of the different packages and estimate from the membership revenue, which will be available at some point if it's not already. |

Revenue figures would be interesting, but it's a little disappointing we've stagnated on the membership front despite missing the finals for four years.
2013 = 80,000
2014 = 80,793 (+793) = RECORD
2015 = 76,497 (-4,296)
2016 = 74,643 (-1,854)
2017 = 75,879 (+1,236)
2018 = 75,507 (-372)
I expect to see a surge next year after a much improved season.
