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.Hawks snuck past 70k a week or two ago. Will end up around 75k I reckon. not bad.
As of today:
C’wood - 74,500 (“just under 75,000”)
Essendon - 73,666
Sounds more realistic.Eddie said on footy classifieds that as of today Collingwood have just ticked over 80,000 members
I am pretty sure they do for all clubs yes but I could be wrongSounds 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.

That’s interesting. Another reason why we need to be a little wary of comparing club membership figures as in some instances it’s not comparing like with like.I am pretty sure they do for all clubs yes but I could be wrong

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.I'd say that "audited membership figures" would come in pretty low on a list of reasons Hawthorn and Essendon want AFLW teams
