How many members in 2017?
« on: September 15, 2016, 06:47:00 AM »
Clearly, after a number of years having off field success (more members) I am posing the question - given the poor on field result along with the indignant and defensive off field leadership - where do you think membership will settle next year?

We do have a great passionate supporter base, but there is also the show boaters that jumped on when all started to look like turning, still reckon 65+
Love to pull mine in protest but won't 38 years consecutive next year, too late for me :banghead :scream I've been ruined

63k-65k for mine

I'll be one of the idiots resigning for next year. Closing in on my platinum status (dare to dream).

Somewhere in the 65-70k for mine. Balme rejoining us will settle some of the disenchantment.

I couldn't come up with a sound rationale for that option - in fact there's a case for a sub 50 option when looking at a Carlton or even an Essendon

If we win the first 10 games then 80+ is possible. What is likely is we go 4 and 6 and 60k members.

Going by the arrogance shown by the current board and continual snake oil salesmanship directed at members and supporters and in light of Hardwicks tenure being rewarded with a two year extension, the new slogan should be.

"2017 in 2017"
Caracella and Balmey.

Depends on how we reshape the footy department incl new assistants.

How we trade and how we draft(perceived view).

Think Balmes appointments has at least made those who were gonski to wait and see what happens

They can reshuffle all they want as no-one here is renewing memberships. Spent plenty of $$$$ & we refuse to pay for sideways backwards football when you got good capable players up forward.

They cut their own throats & many feel the same way.  :scream
