Carrot for MCC Members?

Last I was aware, there are loads of MCC members who are MFC supporters but still not members.

Is enough being done to try and rectify this? I know the club offers the token $50 membership, information for which is sent out with the MCC renewal every year (which is good). But why are so many still not taking this up?

Would any MCC/MFC members out there be willing to spread a survey or the like around to all those present in the members area wearing melbourne colours at games to find out? Or perhaps some MCC members not signed offer their feedback here...

Also - regarding the "Premium MFC/MCC" membership offering - how about including a real incentive? Entry to 11 games is a lay down misere for them anyway. OK the kids membership is one reasonable inclusion but hardly worth the $160. How about a sweetener like access to the social club? This would unite MFC members from both sides of the G something the club claims is important. Not sure how many would be interested but I for one have discussed this with a handful who ALL would be. Currently they part with the $50 but not the additional $110. When I catch up with them at games, we buy guest passes ($20 a pop or close enough) which gives them social club access but obviously the ongoing financial commitment to the club would be a far superior option...

Anyone have any ideas?

How about a membership card that allows you entry into the General Admission gates so you don't have to walk around to the MCC and back through if you want to sit with your mates who aren't MCC.

I'm not an MCC member but I go to the footy with one and it would make it a lot easier if this was an option with the add-on.

Slightly off-topic, but I think the MCC should allocate a whack of GF tickets to members who have allocated either of the competing teams on their membership form.

Currently there is no real incentive for MCC members to become MFC members, except for those who want to financially support the club. Maybe for Premium MFC/MCC (Full Members) there could be a guaranteed Grand Final seat should the MFC compete?

i don't think thats the biggest issue facing memebers, its not hard to walk to gate 2 and then back out once in

As an MCC/MFC member one thing i would love to see included is entry to an MFC away game.

Allowing entry to a Docklands away game would actually be a real benefit for mcc members.

MFC/MCC premium members ($160) get this already.

As for incentives, I don't know that there's much else the club can do, apart from promote the warm, fuzzy feeling that you get by donating to the club.

Re: access to MFC away games or home games at Docklands - the club did that for MFC/MCC members many moons ago. It was a good setup, but I'm unsure why it was discontinued. You got two away games at Docklands as part of your MFC/MCC membership, but it might have cost a bit less.

excellent point mate. spot on.

i do it anyway, but if they offered entry into any vic home etihad games if applicable or one etihad away game then you would get a significant lift in new MCC/MFC members (the $50 one - which is officially counted as a membership now)

I think a social Club Membership along with MFC/MCC membership would be great.

I didn't even know we had a social club so please give me details....

That'd be good. I sign up anyway, but that would probably mean I would go to the Docklands games.

WYL - i was referring to the Hassett room at the G, available during home games - players, board members are available and is a great atmosphere.

I think it's only available to premium (Trident, Redleg & Presidents) members...

Ok, The Hassett Room is that in the Great Southern (I have never been over that side of the Ground!!!) But there are many times after a win i would love 17 beers with a few hundred Demon Supporters.

It is what this club needs more than anything. A Home for us all to meet after Games. There are small gatherings around the 'G, But we need one Central location for all.

Suits & T Shirts, everyone.....

Further to your point WYL, we need a place we can all meet in the city...anywhere!

Anyone who has ever been to the Napier will know what I'm talking about - their light fittings are all decked out in Fitzroy colours still! If we won a premiership, we'd have no place to celebrate as a whole (apart from everywhere obviously). I'd just love a Demon pub to drink at

The club has spoken about creating an 'MFC area' in the Olympic Room and Jim Stynes room area. This is right next to the MCC, where the presidents club members sit and where the Presidents lunch is held so would be perfect way to get everyone together. At the moment it is open to anyone to buy tickets in that area but it would be fantastic if we could lock it down.

Anyone know what the Jim Stynes room is used for on game day?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
