Thank you, record-breaking Bluebaggers

For the seventh consecutive year, we have broken our membership record with 81,303 passionate Bluebaggers as members.

This enormous show of faith has translated to match-day attendance with the Club’s home crowd number among the strongest in the AFL this season, with an average attendance of 47,487 per game.

The electric atmosphere generated by the Navy Blue faithful is also set to greet the big stage with the Blues allocated several prime-time fixtures over the coming month.
