At least 50-60% of the drop in crowds compared with 2019 is due to West Coast crowds.

Lol. Play our Ballarat games at Marvel and we are above Sydney.
What matters most, is revenue generated by membership, as the revenue helps sustain the club.
50,000 members paying an average of $500, is a lot better than 100,000 members paying an average of $100.
$25,000,000 > $10,000,000

Good result.
Interestingly, Hawthorn is actually 4th (ahead of Melbourne and Essendon) if you remove the Tassie 'home' games. Good effort too I reckon given we are believed to be poor attenders, we sit 13th, none of those are night games and only 1 is against a 'big 4' opponent.
They would if they had a bigger supporter base then Collingwood! The way I see it the total membership talley but the end of round 23 will be;
Richmond 105,000
Collingwood 90,000
Carlton 85,000
Essendon 80,000
Hawthorn 75,000
Geelong 70,000
Melbourne 65,000
St.kilda 60,000
Bulldogs 50,000
North Melbourne 48,000
I have only included Victoria clubs

Not far off I reckon.
I doubt Richmond will get to 105,000. I think they’ll get to around 103,000.
Carlton should get to around 86,000 following a possible top 4 renaissance on field.
Collingwood look poised to hit 90,000.
Essendon, I don’t know how, appear on target to land very close to last years number (81,662). BTW, they’ve sold over 1,000 of AFLW memberships already in a promising sign it will have good support in its inaugural season.
It appears the Hawks will be the team registering a decline this year. They will be falling short of 75,000 it would appear. By no means a disastrous result given the pre season of discontent.
Melbourne signalling they’ll get to 65,000. A great result but I may be a little unpopular by suggesting that record figure to me is still below what I see as a great ‘maxed’ result following their breakout premiership and the wave of momentum they’ve had season to date. I thought a more aggressive target of 70,000 in 2022 was a great challenge to chase down. Still, a 20% growth rate following a premiership is still a strong result.
Geelong haven’t updated for a while and appear to be struggling to achieve growth this year. An indifferent end to 2021 and a stadium under construction the likely culprits. Assuming form holds up on field, I suspect their next wave of growth they’re planning in their strategic plan will leverage the finalised stadium build and greater capacity to sell reserved seats and hospitality areas.

Does GWS give a break down (perhaps from previous annual reports), of members in Sydney vs members in Canberra?

Or maybe they simply have more members than Richmond, even though they’re slightly better than a VFL team.West Coast keep their membership close to their chest. When they announce their final membership number, it will be a few hundred above Richmond. Just like it is every year

Hawthorn also played Geelong on the Easter Monday blockbuster game. Played only Victorian teams Melbourne, play those Tassie games (against interstate sides) in Victoria it will still drop your average down.

They do a $1 membership “pay $1 now and the rest later” scheme. Many don’t pay the outstanding but St Kilda still count the $1 members towards their total. When the AFL release the official membership numbers at the end of the season, St Kilda’s drop significantly.

what do the $1 members get if they don't actually pay it in full?
surely by some point in mid season you have to pay?

Hawthorn drew 38k to our North Melbourne match, Hawthorn Sydney always draw a decent crowd. You know what affects crowd numbers more? Getting shitty Sunday time slots.
Hold on didn’t Melbourne benefit for playing home games v Collingwood on queens from 2001 to 2018? Then the Melbourne fans started to complain why they are not the home team every year. Melbourne should thank Collingwood because if it wasn’t for the pies Melbourne could of ended merging with another club or relocating to another state. Melbourne should really thank Collingwood for there generosity of the magpie army for turning up in huge numbers every queens birthday and Melbourne for 19 years benefiting taking all the gate receipts.

No reason to be cynical. Membership figures are subject to annual audit. That a team so poor on field could still boast the largest membership speaks volumes for the size of their base. Simple as that.
