Carrot for MCC Members?

Featured Replies

Posted

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....

 

Chase them with baseball bats.

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?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
