We're still No.1 in the League and the only club once again to have over 100k members. Although, the gap to second has halved since last year (Eagles on 90k). We've had an increase in membership of 2.6% this year.

So Adelaide fudged their numbers by ~25k 

[Slipper]

I'd love to know what sort of memberships the Eagles sell to get that many members. That number is well above the capacity of their home ground. Same with the Cats.

The Eagles have a waiting list membership for access to Perth Stadium.
