Was going to ask any word on the Giants. As fans we are expecting a hit after last season, both covid and results, as well as how they are running the fixture for this season.
Hopefully not to big a drop.

I believe Essendon is only at 60,000. This is about -11,000 Vs same time in 2019.
Probably on track for only 65-70,000 at best which means it hasn’t recouped its members lost post COVID (~15-20,000 lost).
The timing of COVID in March last year at a critical point of high renewal intake, coupled with very low expectations and a frustrated and disillusioned fanbase the drivers of these declines.
I suspect the club has written off 2021 given the above and will rightly focus on trying to fix the football club (again) before actively trying to relaunch a member recruitment program in 2022.

They were saying on the PA at half time yesterday that we are 39,000 and something... think she said 100 away from 40k.

North sitting at 39,401. Not bad consider we've lost our last 20 games.
Hawks snuck past 70k a week or two ago. Will end up around 75k I reckon. not bad.
Clubs are all different with their selling patterns. Essendon traditionally sell more of their memberships in season. Essendon are at 71,000, their CEO still holding some hope of getting close to 80,000 this year still.
Apparently Saints have gone past 53,000. Had things not gone pear shaped early in the season the club was tracking well into the high 50s.
Richmond’s consumer general manager Dino Imbriano revealed that the Club had reached the mighty 100,000-membership milestone for a fourth consecutive year.

Thankyou! 100k members
The West Coast Eagles have passed 100,000 members.
Eddie said on footy classifieds that as of today Collingwood have just ticked over 80,000 members
Sounds more realistic.
Question more broadly, do clubs with AFLW teams count these memberships on top of the AFL club memberships?
Reason I ask is this is a tweet I got today directly from a Collingwood’s membership office which makes me wonder.
If so, no wonder the likes of Essendon and Hawthorn want teams in this comp so it’s an even playing field in terms of auditored membership figures.
The_Wookie do you know?

We have been told that they only count AFLW memberships that aren’t double ups with AFL.
So this members who have AFLW only are counted as members towards the count but not those who are members of both.
I'd say that "audited membership figures" would come in pretty low on a list of reasons Hawthorn and Essendon want AFLW teams
Of course.. However membership figures are a key metric used by clubs when selling themselves to prospective sponsors, especially when benchmarking themselves with are competing clubs in a contested market.
Also this morning Collingwood president Korda also confirmed that Collingwood passed 80,000 members today.
wafl memberships are not that high as well.I think all clubs would have 1,500 to 2000 members max. If peopl have taken out a afl and wafl membership it only counts as 1 member so in reality it does not really effect the total at all!! I think in stead of people looking at totals it is total membership revenue which is the most important stat to look at
