I am 100% sure, because i remember we were the last club to keep the numbers separate, all other clubs had moved to total numbers 1 to 2 years prior. Once the AFL agreed to count 3 game memberships and anything other than full memberships, clubs started combining both.That's interesting staphy . Are you sure about that?
The reason I ask is the spin from the club in 2010 was that there was a great natural surge in membership (about 6000) due to the club's good form, Barry Hall, etc and this has been most people's understanding ever since then. Such growth also seems quite plausible. Debates on BF about membership have never (to my knowledge) referred to a change in the way numbers are tallied and published.
I'm not saying you're wrong but - pardon my natural scepticism - where did you hear/read it?
