57?

Correct!

Would have been fun being an Essendon supporter back in dem days

There would have still been supporters whinging. We didn't win by enough.

Or getting stuck into blokes like "why do they persist selecting that injury prone George Stuckey?" or "this new kid Thurgood is a dud" type of thing....

Who's got a question?

[robrulz5]

Which club broke a league record for memberships in 1937 with 2400 memberships sold?

[GoalSneak]

Collingwood?

[BenDoolan]

University? All students??

[Rossoneri]

University? All students??

1937? Thought they folded in 1911 or something like that?

Ill say FItzroy. It would be some perculiar club, probably like University as Curley said.

[BenDoolan]

Well University wasn't playing in 1937 so that's wrong. Seeing that South Melbourne made the Grand Final in 1936, I'll change my answer to South Melbourne

[robrulz5]

No to all the above. It is a club no one would expect to ever ever ever have more members than anyone else.
