Cats break membership record

THE Geelong Cats have hit an all-time membership high, eclipsing 91,000 members for the first time in the AFL club’s history.

After surpassing 90,000 members in 2024, this season marked the fourth consecutive campaign in which Geelong’s membership base has grown.

Geelong Football Club president Grant McCabe said the milestone was a significant achievement as the Cats AFL and AFLW teams head towards an exciting time of the year.

“We have now broken our membership record and we are over 91,000 members for 2025,” McCabe said.

“So thank-you to all of our members who have contributed to that and remember, AFLW [started] this [past] weekend too so there is plenty of time to sign up.”

Geelong AFL captain, Patrick Dangerfield also thanked Cats fans for their ongoing loyalty and support.

“It is amazing, it is such an advantage for us down here, turning it into the cauldron that it is,” Dangerfield said.

“We are going to need all the help we can get as we head towards September obviously, so a huge thanks to everyone that has signed up as a member.”

Geelong’s AFL side play against Richmond tomorrow (Saturday, August 23) in the last home and away match of this season.

The club’s AFLW side will be looking to get on the board with their first win against the Crows this Sunday, August 24.
