Footy fans have taken their passion to new levels with an all-time AFL club membership record set this season.
The AFL will on Thursday announce more people have become members of their favourite club than ever before, with 1,132,295 proud and paid-up supporters Australia-wide.

Eight clubs have already set new membership marks, helping surpass the previous national membership mark by 18,854.

And an even bigger membership haul looms, with numbers counted until August 31 and fans expected to make a late rush to sign up with their club to ensure first crack at finals tickets.

After being forced to watch their team on TV during two winters of Covid-19 lockdowns, Victorian supporters have driven the surge in membership sales.

At least six Victorian teams will this year declare record membership tallies — resurgent Carlton, premiers Melbourne, Collingwood, St Kilda, Western Bulldogs and North Melbourne — as well as GWS and Brisbane.

The two best performers in terms of membership growth were Melbourne — up 26.8 per cent from 53,188 last year to more than 65,000 — and Western Bulldogs, up 11.4percent from 46,541 to more than 50,000.
 
Just got an email from our CEO. Hawks 77,111 as of today.
I think that’s a terrific result given low expectations for the season, despite early unexpected wins. I’d say there’s a component in both the Hawks and Bombers numbers relating to their AFLW memberships enabling these clubs to record growth. These clubs unique AFLW memberships being counted for the first time, joining other established clubs. Essendon have over 2,500 overall, no doubt some being unique and counted to the Clubs total reported figure. Hard to know for sure.

I heard Hawthorn's AFLW membership is going slower than the club expected. Don't think that either club would over 1000 unique AFLW members at this stage.

The AFL is pleased to announce a new all-time AFLW Club membership record of 75,568 AFLW members.

The 75,568 number surpasses the record of 48,712 that was set for Season Six. The Season Seven total is 55% per cent growth season on season.

Since Season Five (2021) the industry has seen 193% growth in AFLW Membership sales (25,782 AFLW Members in Season Five).

17 of the 18 clubs achieved AFLW Membership records with Sydney Swans (7,757), Adelaide Crows (6,706) and Geelong Cats (5,938) the top three clubs.

All four expansion clubs – Sydney Swans, Hawthorn, Essendon and Port Adelaide ranked in the Top 8 clubs for membership in Season Seven.

“It has truly been a unique year – two seasons, a new CBA, four new clubs, we took matches to places we have never been before and with it came new fans, more members and more people engaged in our competition than ever before.” AFL EGM Customer and Commercial Kylie Rogers said.

“We have a great, great competition, one that is going from strength to strength and on behalf of the AFL we thank every single person that watched, attended, and bought a membership to support their club,

“The passion for AFLW on and off the field is unmatched in national women’s sport competitions across the country. This passion is a powerful tool, and we must continue to harness it for good and celebrate the difference, the uniqueness and the joy that is AFLW football.

“Sunday’s NAB AFLW Grand Final, at the brand new and best purpose-built facility in Queensland is a fitting way to cap off a wonderful year. A finale for the season, a debut for the ground and without doubt the two best teams all season vying for the Premiership.”
