If we had nine or ten MCG home games like Dees/Tiges/Pies (Hawks get six), we would get a few more Melbourne members. That will help balalce our upcoming loss of around 5k - 6k Tas members when they get their own team.About 2,600. However Essendon like most don’t play games there so in incentive to join apart from sense of belonging. Also, there’s a portion of the Hawks membership in Tassie that but a package to gain access, even though they may not barrack for the Hawks. Not meaning to denigrate the Hawks success in Tassie, just trying to see through it to better gus get the Hawks membership in a world where it wouldn’t be playing matches there. Putting aside any Tassie leg up to its overall figure, it points to a membership in the high 60,000’s which has them ahead of Melbourne and alongside Geelong.
