Bit scary that according to the latest MCC NEWS, our support has slipped to just under 20% of the 100 thousand MCC membership. This is a drop of 3% in only 4 years ! The Bombers, on nearly 13%, look a threat to get to us in ten years or so particularly when you consider they had several decades of success where most primary school kids seemed to jump on the bandwaggon. MCC members, LET'S GO A-NOMINATING !

I actually gave up my MCC after being signed up on birth, and gaining membership at 16-17.

Found myself liking it only because it was exclusive. Wasn't getting value for money.

Ditto. I'd rather give my money to the MFC than the MCC. I don't miss it at all.

Fair enough......I have been a dual member for over 40 years and consider myself a battler.I confess I take my MCC membership a bit for granted but it's nice to have peace of mind that there is always a spot{undercover if needed} there for me. About half our MCC supporters now also buy an MFC ticket, a huge increase on just a few years back. I would not be the only retiree who has to consider their priorities and budget accordingly.

If people pull out of MCC membership and opt for MFC membership, then that only helps the club.

Yes but does not give you access to the cricket. B)

The historical legacy of the MCC is both a benefit and a heel for MFC.

Many MCC members who are MFC supporters do not take out MFC membership. I can understand their reasons. I like a growing number of MCC members have a dual membership.

I have no concerns that the MFC component of the MCC falls. The demographic and the interest base of the MCC is broader than MFC.

I can also understand those who toss the MCC membership due lack of use. FWIW, since the renovations in 2006, I think the MCC is a sensational viewing spot for football and cricket.

Got no time for Melbourne supporting MCC members who give nothing to MFC

To be fair, if your turn to take up MCC full membership comes, and you're short of coin, then you'd have to prioritise MCC over MFC because it gives you access to so much more. As long as when you DO have coin again, you cough up for both.

There is no excuse. The MFC/MCC membership is, what, $50??

That's the spirit that will bring rushing back to the Club with full apology. :lol:

There is clear value for money if you actually use it Stylus.

Go to all the Melbourne games. Then go to ANZAC day. Friday night games. Blockbuster games with the top 4.

Then go to the finals. Without worrying about seat availability. All of them.

Then go to the cricket. Again without having to worry about purchasing tickets in time for Boxing Day.

All of that in the best facilities in the world for watching sport.

Pays itself five times over.

Sorry cant agree with that. Im an MCC member for over 10 years and this year I finally got my full memebership. I buy my mfc/mcc membership and I give money to mfc in other ways. I gave money to the debt demolotion, I buy my merchandise from the shop and I go to some of the events.

I use my membership to go to the boxing day test every year and also the 1 day games and 20/20 as well as go to the victorian games. I can take my friends anytime and in the footy season I can go with my friends who support the team we are playing and sit with them. I never bother about having to queue for finals tickets and every year I can go to the grand final. So until i leave this planet Im sticking to my mcc membership.

Me too. It was too pricey for me when playing on saturdays and getting to few games. I wrote to the club when I was an MCC member and said what we need is a different category of membership for MCC members who dont need a seat - which is some of the value of MFC membership.

i agree with you 100% i have had times where i have gone without food for a couple of days to pay the MCC membership. Demons home and now away games and finals are good enough for me. Take a look at the AFL Membership fiasco-now there is a rip off in comparison.

i will take my MCC membership to the coffin, along with my favorite CD's and a bottle of Jack.!!!

i pay full MCC and full MFC for ten years straight

MCC is well worth it if you go to an arseload of neutral games along with every Melbourne game (of course) and a few finals.. i reckon I went to about 28 games this year

worth every cent!

like many others my MFC membership is almost totally a donation

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
