Dear members,
It has been more than five weeks since the team was forced out of Sydney at short notice and on to the road.
In that time, the form of the team has been outstanding. After the narrow loss to Port Adelaide, we have now won five games in a row and sit fifth on the ladder. A return to the finals is within reach.
Despite all the challenges that come with being away from home, the team has shown wonderful resilience to continue to perform at a high level. It is a credit to all of our staff and players. The Bloods spirit is alive and well.
No matter where we are, we know just how strong the support from all our members remains. We are proud to play for our members, while many - particularly at home in Sydney - are doing it tough in lockdown.
Today we announce our final member tally for 2021 of 50,144. It is an incredible show of support, particularly in light of the challenges the community has faced over the past 18 months.
Despite the many disruptions to this seasons fixture, when given the opportunity, our members have shown up in full voice. At home games at the SCG and in Victoria, your support has been incredibly important to the club.
As we edge closer to September, we are committed to ensuring your connection to the team is strong. Stay tuned to your inbox as we share content and online event opportunities exclusively available to our members.
Be proud of your commitment each weekend we take to the field. In your living rooms, on your daily walks or runs, wear your colours with pride. Even if you can’t be with us in the stands, your support is important to our success.
Stay safe, please look after each other and continue to follow the health advice.
Cheer cheer
Tom Harley
Chief Executive
