Broady said he's confident we'll reach 100k again.

Winning against the pies will help. The smell of a finals campaign will be in the air.

ONE IN 25 Australians are AFL club members, with the AFL on Monday celebrating AFL club membership numbers surpassing one million this year.

A total of 1,043,604 members have signed up to support their favourite club in 2022, surpassing the one million membership milestone 20 days ahead of the same time in 2021, in a year which saw the league achieve its all-time club membership record of 1,113,441.

The one million membership figure includes AFLW club membership which experienced an 89 per cent year-on-year growth to reach a record breaking 48,712 members for the first-time in the competition’s history.

The West Coast Eagles and Richmond continue to lead the membership tally with strong support from fans, while North Melbourne along with last year’s Grand Finalists Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs Football Clubs have achieved record-breaking club membership figures this season.

Official tally on the RFC website as of 10/05/2022

95,382



Same time last year we were at 100,274. So we're currently about 4-5k behind.

[Rampsation]

We'll be lucky to get to 100k this year.

Hawks at the G
Dons at the G
Swans up there

If we win all 3 going into the bye I expect a few more to jump back on board but largely speaking it's a good outcome after a year without a finals campaign.
