Xavier Campbell said today Essendon at 72,000 FWIW.My brother (Western Bulldogs member) received an email from the club today discussing reserved seating arrangements.
In the email, it mentioned that the Dogs "almost" have 45,000 members.
North Melbourne at 39,401 now as well.Xavier Campbell said today Essendon at 72,000 FWIW.
Victorian club membership figures always seem dodgy as fu**. Very little correlation to crowd numbers.
Not really a lot of the traditional vic clubs have members spread around the whole country . now the gws membership number is one that doesn’t correlate with the crowd numbersVictorian club membership figures always seem dodgy as fu**. Very little correlation to crowd numbers.
Not at all. Buying a membership doesn't mean you have to go every week. We have 3 full memberships in our family but I'm the only one that goes weekly. Having a membership helps support your club.Victorian club membership figures always seem dodgy as fu**. Very little correlation to crowd numbers.

Lol they said interstate, not Canada, which is true. Here in Tassie, most people support a Victorian team. I know from speaking to people from WA, a lot of them still choose to follow their Victorian team too because their support predates the Eagles. I'm sure it would be the same in other states.This is far more plausible than the "you wouldn't know our members, they live in Canada" line from the previous 2 posters.
Only clubs that get close to the non Vic clubs get 5 or 6 AFL endorsed and promoted MCG " Blockbusters" Derby matches.

Way to prove my point.

Essendon have ~3,000 members in WA alone. The Victorian clubs with large national following probably have 15%+ of its membership living outside Victoria.Tasmania has 90k AFL members that would rarely, if ever attend games. Most of these people support Victorian clubs.

They actually don’t and the club has been trying to access more seats at Optus Stadium to enable them to get their supporters more access.yep..and at EFC vs Freo or WC, most of them turn up for games. Bomber fans everywhere.
West coast has the same problem. About 5-10k members on a waitlist to get game access.They actually don’t and the club has been trying to access more seats at Optus Stadium to enable them to get their supporters more access.
Essendon have ~10,000 active supporters in WA who have told the club they want to join as a member on the basis they can gain access to the games in WA. However my understanding is they can only access less than 5,000 seats on match day. This means the club is unable to realise it’s membership growth in WA and capitalise on the size of its base in WA based on present arrangements..
The club would be able to substantially grow membership outside Victoria and capitalise on its national appeal if it could find solutions somehow. This is probably an issue also confronting the lines of Carlton and Collingwood who probably along with the Bombers have the widest followings in the AFL.
Correct. You probably need another 20,000 seats and then everyone’s a winner!West coast has the same problem. About 5-10k members on a waitlist to get game access.
