MELBOURNE has broken its all-time membership record, reaching the tally of 29,706, which surpasses the previous record of 29,619 set last season.
The total is more than 4,000 up on the club's membership at the corresponding time last year and there are still more than 3,000 members from 2008 who have yet to re-sign.
Melbourne president Jim Stynes paid tribute to all those concerned with the club and said he was confident the Demons would pass the 30,000 mark.
"This is a great effort by everyone involved, not least the members themselves, who are the foundation of our future, and who are providing the momentum for our club," said Stynes.
"We are also very proud of and encouraged by the way in which everyone is working together for the common good, and our achievement in breaking the membership record is the perfect illustration of this."
"I am confident that, in the next week, we can surpass the 30,000 mark and start looking well beyond."
