Great post rpfc. I always tick the MFC box when renewing my MCC subs and the combined amount is direct-debited . The $731- sure punches a hole in my limited retiree's resources but following the Dees is important to me.

    There are, as TU said, around 25k MFC supporters in the MCC.

    Over 9k of those people are signed up MFC members for 2011.

    Those non-MCC supporters who have a problem with us can you know what.

    Those MCC members who can afford the $150 but take the $50 can do the same. Those MCC members that can afford the $50 but don't take it up can also do the same.

    It isn't a question of being 'with us' or 'against us' it's a matter of me not liking you because you support a cricket club you have probably never seen play (and never want to, bunch of arrogant....) until you pay the extra donation to the MFC.

    I don't care that the MCC gives money to the club, until you do - I don't want to know about you.

    I think a lot more MCC members will cough up the extra money for the MFC now the 2 parties are joined, it will be very interesting to watch these figures in the next few years.

    I think a lot of MCC members now realize the Football club Needs a strong Cash Flow if we are to see our great club lift up the Grail. It is not going to just happen.

    All MCC Melbourne supporters must cough up for both. Do it via the telephone on the Visa, you won't notice the Bill until a month later!!!

    Am not a MCC member and never been there. As I never had the opportunity I don't miss it. I enjoy the outer and even in the old days when you could, I'd enter in the Melbourne members reserve in the Olympic stand and go around to the Southern Stand. Was a Redlegs for one season in the 80's but couldn't stand some of the stuck up Redleg members in their reserve and the haughty doorman. Always been suspicious of the MCC. None of the half dozen or so MCC members I know well follow Melbourne. I dislike them for this because they are only there for the prestige of being in the MCC. Reinforces my opinion that this is a snooty club and could not be bothered with it. If the MCC took more interest in our club I might change my mind.

    Good luck to the tofs in the dining room- too expensive for me every time I go.

    Could not agree more!

    Wona makes it sound like we have a choice!

    At the end of the day a Dees win is a Dees win wherever you are.

    I would stand in the outer with nothing to eat and my bladder bursting to see a GF win.

    Hang on I did that in 64.

    Sorry! could not help myself I had to say it!

    The actual leadership of the club, is a conservative self servicing group from the top end of Collins Street. They have an antiquated dress code to maintain the class barriers, eg. No zips on coats in the Long Room or Dining room. Meant to keep the lesser lights out of their world. We all have zips on our flies so what's wrong with zips on coats. Never the less they actually do a fine job in running the place and providing a magnificant facility. I've been going for some 55 years and just love being there to see the dee's. Don't bother much now if Dee's not playing. It's a great place to wonder around pregame 1/4 and 1/2 time because you never know who you are going to bump into..many times bump into old mates, even primary school mates. Looking forward to my 50 year membership in a couple of years to cut the price ( I also pay for my wife who has my once ladies ticket come member card).

    I'm still trying to not let too much of the Mr Hide out of the box but damn umpires don't help that.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
