I have already paid for my membership....

so both MCC & MFC were renewed at the same time on the website - much much easier!!

well all i'm trying to say is that there are actually thousands and thousands of melbourne supporters, who you wouldn't think- that dont have memberships, but don't even follow the game, and just have a team so that when people get asked they have a team to say.

I don't think this is unique to Melbourne.

I'd say this is also the case for every other Club out there.

In fact, given their larger supporter bases, I'd say there are probably more disinterested 'supporters' of other Clubs.

as does every team. And if they don't follow the game, why should they shell out 110 bucks to buy a membership?

if you are born in hawthorn; why would you go for melbourne?

if you are born in Queensland; why would you go for melbourne?

Oh I don't know, my brother and I are born and bred in Sydney, and support Essendon and Melbourne respectively.

Not to mention a lot of the kids i look after happen to go for Sydney and Geelong, wonder how that happened...
