Tigers - 72,789. I think this is quite a bit lower than same time last year? As expected.

Bombers - 54,100. Tracking down about 1,500 compared to year ago. Resetting pricing and gloomy expectations in 2025 hurting figure.

Don’t know any other headlines but I suspect Lions, Cats and Hawks would be going well. Demons perhaps not so well

It’s pretty crazy that dogs had more members than the dockers but half the revenue in 2024.
Bombers had 20k more but took 6mil less.
Is it more auskickers or deals for kayo that gives this big discrepancy ?

Melbourne is the cheapest place in the world to watch pro football. It costs around double in every other market.

So some key takeouts.

Bombers down slightly. Saints and Demons down 3-4K.
Tigers down significantly.

Tigers down significantly.

More key takeouts that confirm what I’ve always known.
There are no bigger bandwagoners than Hawthorn supporters.
Richmond 2nd.

Great numbers for the giants

I remember being a brisbane fan during 2013-2015. Back then, I was happy when we got over 20k members. Now look at us. This is why the game is pushing hard into QLD and NSW. The growth is from there.
