Essendon 78,562
Port 61,300
Sydney 60,475
Geelong 59,978
Carlton 55,629
Melbourne 44,180
St Kilda 43,302
Footscray 43,300
North 40,875
GWS 25,013
Brisbane 24,730
Gold Coast 11,841
649,232. WA clubs, Hawthorn, Adelaide and Collingwood remain a mystery as to what specific numbers they have.
Apart from the Tigers monumental achievement which is certainly the most celebrated milestone for 2018 and deservedly so, I think the Essendon achievement is probably the most impressive membership result this year.Close to 80K sitting 10th without a finals win in almost a decade and a half.
I was wrong. But I’d still make the same prediction again. It was an unprecedented increase and an unbelievable achievement. If Essendon won the flag this year and you told me they would would see a similar 28k increase to 108k next year I would also think that was laughable. But Richmond were able to achieve this.This post hasn't aged well.

The difference between the Collingwood example is that Richmond had already had a very significant increase of 43k in the previous decade. Collingwood's membership had been all over the shop, but the did have 32k in 1999 meaning their preceding rise was not as sharp.Not really laughable, as The_Wookie post above indicated:
Richmonds membership increase of 38.5% the year after winning a flag is the third best behind Collingwood in 2011 (48.4%) and Essendon in 1994 (70.8%). Its raw increase of 27,933 however, beats the Pies 2011 increase of 23,388,
Wookie i know you got your figures from Footy Industry
but Collingwood's % increase and overall raw increase are both incorrect their 2010 membership tally was 57,408 and in 2011 it went up to 71,271 (an increase of 24.15% and raw increase by 13,863).
Footy industry has the same figure for 2010 but for 2011 they added the non access amount of 525 which wasn't included on the AFL site.

This link is AFLQ but it has the same tally's for both years, http://www.aflq.com.au/record-afl-membership-in-2011/
Why is Adelaide's official figure always a good 20k down from what they claim every year?
What do they mean by Non access? I thought the post audit figures had to be Access members?

I believe all clubs are required to record their numbers through the AFL's own membership software throughout the year so they're being audited on an ongoing basis, not just at close."Audited" figures.....it took them literally a day to "audit" every club.
