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....

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?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
