“It has been a remarkable year so far, and we are on course for record membership, attendance and participation.

“We are extremely grateful to our fans and their ongoing support of the competition, and with plenty of great football still to be played in the finals rounds, plus the 2025 NAB AFLW Season starting on August 14, we want to see as many fans as possible at the footy throughout the month.”

AFL Executive General Manager of Customer and Commercial Bec Haagsma said Thank You Month was an opportunity to recognise members and fans.

"The game is in a strong position and striving toward record numbers, thanks to the incredible support of our members and fans. As we move into August – with the AFL finals race sharpening and the NAB AFLW Season just around the corner – we’re focused on keeping that momentum going,” Haagsma said.

“Thank You Month is our way of celebrating and rewarding our members and fans who make our game so special and continue to show up.

“We can’t wait to see as many members and fans across the remaining home and away matches as possible enjoying the rewards and surprises as part of Thank You Month.”
