2018 Club Membership (2018 AFL Audit numbers now in OP]

[dave10]

Essendon 76,180 and still counting.

Feeling I assume now over 60,000 - a fantastic effort.

And special mention to Carlton who are now at 54,400 which is about + 4,500 up on last year I think. Great result all things considered but much growth ahead.

Update. I believe Carlton CEO confirmed the club has passed 55,000. I think this is a great achievement (+10% in 2018). Well done Blues fans that have signed up. Provides confidence that 70,000+ is well and truly achievable once the wins start happening with greater frequency.

The big question will they still keep handing over their hard earned if Carlton stay at the bottom for the next couple of years which could be the reality if they dont start recruiting some decent experienced players to help the kids out.?

I'm not sure if they'll drop off much. They were on something like 45,500 when the season started. That means around 20% of their membership jumped on board with loss after loss. It has been unusual how they continue to pull in so many members, even after some really bad losses. Whatever that are doing it is working, and doesn't appear to be dependent on the on field results.

With the way they are tracking, it wouldn't surprise me if they break the 55,000 milestone.

Tigers over 99k.
I think we'll end up with 105k. Pity the afl stop counting at the end of the financial year

 

[Walshawk]

Hawks 80k (via club email).

You have until July 31.
Also no way another 6k will sign up. Very few benefits this late in the season.

That would mean a lot of Collingwood memberships for Eddie to buy

We sold another 4,500 from this time last year

These membership numbers have largely become a matter of Puff. They are used by the clubs for marketing purposes and by supporters to gloat or bemoan but have become largely separated from actual financial outcomes which is the real concern of businesses. 1 + 3 game members, inter-state, Tassie etc have distorted figures. Also do clubs leave members on the list until the end of the following year ?? As far as l know there's nothing stopping the giving away and discounting of memberships, using the marketing budget to buy some. So in my opinion it is attendances and better still the actual End of Year financials that are the truer picture.

Haven't been this wrong since I bought Angus Graham's jumper at an auction

Given everything happening up there, that's a decent figure for this season

Between the player departures, form, and the comm games, it's a shitty year to sell memberships for a young club, so 12k imo is a solid effort

yep, and as a share of population its about the same as Richmond as share of melb population

So just the 88k to go then?

When the gold coast population hits 4.9 million yep

You said GC = Richmond’s share of 4.9m. Which it does. So, 100 should be achievable.

I guess all the Richmond supporters who dogmatically said they'd clear 100k if they won a premiership will be able to test their assumptions...

Looks like they were dogmatically on the money

I know it's small against the traditional states but a little milestone for us.
