I signed up for the $25 Age subscription (which is a great deal), which stated that we would receive Fri, Sat, Sun, Monday's Age newspapers for all of 2009.

The first one (Friday 2nd Jan) didn't arrive so I called up the Age subscription people - it turns out that they don't have my address on file as the MFC has shut down over xmas-new year and hasn't yet sent across all the information. This may be understandable if I signed up for my membership in late December but I renewed in early November and received a call from the club just after to confirm the address details specifically for the newspaper delivery.

Supposedly it should come through around the 16th Jan - which is six papers I'm missing out on. Not the biggest concern in the world but you worry that if they can't organise a newspaper subscription how can they run a footy club.

    Our is delivered by the local newsagent, can you take it up with them in the interim? It may be as easy as showing them some ID or printed receipt of purchase and you're all good. Otherwise maybe it hasn't formerly commenced yet and your 52 weeks will will end later cos it started later

    good luck

    I have already been receiving mine for the last 4 weeks. Had no problems. Sounds strange. But also, I don't think The Age have anything to do with delivery. It would be your local newsagent. I may be wrong, but I think that's generally how it works.

    Not the best, but don't panic, I'm sure you will get your 52 weeks worth one it gets started.

    Mine started on Dec 18, and I re-signed mid october from memory

    It's done by the local newsagents (who I assume have a list handed to them by The Age).

    The first few I had kept getting nicked, I went in to ask if they could throw the papers further down the drive and he said no worries, and also to pick up a copy of the day's paper.

    It's a great initiative and will save you money in the long run anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just ask the newsagents

    A quick question on this, I signed up for it, got my first paper today, but when I signed up I didnt enter my membership number (stoopid computer wouldnt load the field), so I was wondering how they identified I was a member, does anyone know?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
