These numbers are outrageous. Have the standards for what passes the AFL audit dropped recently?

If attendances haven't risen proportionately then yes.These numbers are outrageous. Have the standards for what passes the AFL audit dropped recently?
AFL introduced non access members in their 2011 count because when they released their 2012-16 Club equalisation funding document on 26 September 2011 - showing how they will spend TV dollars and other income for 2012-16 TV deal period, they set the aim of 1,000,000 members by 2016.
They have got there 2 years late, but have become more flexible about what's counted in their official totals compared to prior to 2011.
I'm surprised the crows have 64k. That means they are now selling more general admin and 3 game passess than the previous 4 seasons at AO. I've seen them pushing 3 gamers and bronze memberships.
Looks like WCE are still selling their in the Wings membership as they still have 20,000 more members than seats available at the new Perth Stadium just like at Subi. But maybe they have got a bit stricter because if you became an in the Wings member whilst they played Subi it allowed you to buy up to 4 memberships. Maybe now its only up to 1.
Essendon have also widen the packages they are offering compared to the past membership categories.
Crows up 8000 on last year and us only up 2000?
I get they are pushing Ga memberships but I am sure we are too.
Are they doing something shifty?
Is it their AFLW involvement?
Is it because they were in a GF?
Is it connected to esports?
Are they doing some shifty clerical stuff?
Need to lift our game surely in such a tight market.
Nope- the stadium is Adelaide Oval - carry over from Football Park days as I explained on the previous page.There are just over 100,000 MCC members - are they counted?
Nope
Its so the AFL can say to government 1 in 24 Aussies are members of our clubs, so give us monies for sports development and community programs, and of course the big one - stadiums.Interestingly only just over 450,000, ie less than half are actual 11 game plus club members. Roughly just over half if you include Stadium/AFL members. Figures are incredibly rubbery.
You thought wrong. MCC members have to buy some form of club membership to be counted by the AFL.I thought the clubs counted them in their figures? eg Melbourne have a lot a MCC members and I thought these were counted in their figures.
Is this really what the leadership of Gil is delivering? Comical new leagues (AFL-X), Disregard for competition integrity (In season new rule trials), artificially inflated growth numbers ('AFL Audited' memberships). Gil is the iceberg to the AFL's Titanic. Charlatan.
Does anyone have the before and after the Audit? I just cant see how Richmond recently broke the 100000 and after the audit they're still over. I honestly don't care how much members they have its more of the vic love wankfest from the AFL.
My suspicion is that the standards for AFL audited memberships have dropped to allow those at executive level within AFL House to claim their bonuses while not actually delivering any real growth. Happy to be convinced otherwise but I just can't see how these numbers are in any way comparable to previous years.
It's shenanigans to loosen the definition of 'AFL audited' member then claim it as growth based on the previous year(s) that used a stricter definition.

Have a look at the cost of West Coasts memberships. I conservatively estimate they are pulling $35-$40 million in membership revenue alone. Nobody would be within a bulls roar of that.
Been taking advantage of the supply/demand differential for years, ripping millions out of their supporter base a year, literally shoving it into a bloated bank account with no apparent purpose. And then they have the audacity to ask for government funding for their new facility. Vile, contemptuous organisation.
yeah we should be aiming to be in the top third, that isn't achievable without an AFLW side imo
Mine too.How many are kids who do auskick get doubled up with a membership sent out for each participant regardless of they want it or not. My son is a double member this year ruddy ridiculous
