Carlton 16th August ...
Yikes! 95,000 membership is a phenomenal effort by the Baggers in 2023!Carlton 16th August ...
23k
Looks like that Facebook link is dead but here's an active link below. So new membership records for both QLD clubs in 2023 with over 23k for the Suns and over 52k for the Lions. That's 85k+ AFL members in Queensland which is pretty crazy when I think about where Queensland footy was just 5 years ago. I don't think it's unreasonable to say Queensland will be pushing 100k members in a few years from now with both teams expected to be competing in the finals. 30k for the Suns and 60k for the Lions is a realistic goal for next year if we're both in the top 8.
23K members shine for SUNS
The Gold Coast SUNS has broken its all-time membership record for the fourth consecutive year, surpassing 23,000 members for the first time in club history.

Adelaide and St Kilda both had If you put a $1 deposit down on your 2024 membership, you get the final 2 (or was it 3) games this year free. I wonder if that'd count to this yeas membership.
Bombers break membership record
Essendon thanks its members and supporters for their support of the club and its players.

Interesting that GWS has nearly 10,000 more Members than GC Suns!
Hopefully if the Suns become more successful and make the eight under Dimmer their Membership numbers will increase.
Melbourne have hit 70,000 members.
An amazing achievement for the club although has a cynical person I do wonder how many real members there are but I guess that holds true for most clubs.
When Gary Pert arrived he wanted premierships, 75K members and 50k home averages at the G. We have a flag, 70K membership and 48K home attendance average at the G, very very close already.

Mentioned in the article below:
Hawks flock in record numbers
Hawthorn has averaged more than 50,000 fans at its MCG home games this season for the first time since its three-peat era.
One factor would be the members from Canberra as a second market.
Similar to Hawthorns strong membership numbers in Tasmania.

Collingwood breaks all-time VFL/AFL Club Membership record
The Collingwood Football Club has reached the highest-ever Club Membership record in VFL / AFL history.
Are we bigger than Richmond now?? Lol106,470
Collingwood breaks all-time VFL/AFL Club Membership record
The Collingwood Football Club has reached the highest-ever Club Membership record in VFL / AFL history.
Imagine if we won 3 premierships in 4 years. Collingwood would have another 30,000 members
I wonder if Gold Coast will start seeing similar membership numbers coming out of Darwin if they stay there long term.
It is awesome that so many people want to belong to AFL clubs. I predict that in 2026 Hawks will have 100k, and still be in sixth. Blue will crack 100k next year and Bombers as soon as they make the 8.
