There's nothing like feeling Free, to just be yourself,& chat to other ordinary people. No pretenses.

It's good to move about.

Pretense isn't a prerequisite of attending the MCC area, nor is it exclusive to that area.

A sense of decorum isn't something to pour scorn on.

Last week I ventured out of the MCC to watch the game with a non-MCC mate - I never ceased to be amazed at the conduct by some in general admin.

A few loud-mouthed richmond supporters shouting anti-semitic insults was a low-light.

I've never had to put up with that in the MCC.

I can't stand sitting In the MCC! Level 2 Southern Stand Red Legs area Is where you'll find me.

Why on earth were they shouting anti-semitic insults? What was the connection?

[Dr. Gonzo 24,446]

If all our supporters in the MCC and AFL members who don't buy MFC memberships (not the $50 donation type) spent that money on MFC memberships the club would be in a much stronger position. My family used to be AFL Gold Members and are now Tridents members. The way the AFL treats us I couldn't support them anymore than I had to. If those in the MCC had the same thinking we would easily have 40K members and would be an extra few million dollars a year better off.

[rpfc 28,906]

We would have 50k members, Gonzo...

But rpfc is an MCC member and a MFC member (Member x 3 in 2012) and about half of the 23k MCC supporters are members so we are getting there.

And the MCC pumps money in as they should, it's not a huge issue anymore.

Wow! you actually left the confines of the MCC area to venture outside with the masses; I'm impressed?

Next thing you'll tell us you caught a train to the city. Good on you Joe, baby steps first.

[Striker475 696]

Honestly prefer the GA to the MCC - my loudness isn't appreciated in MCC

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Joe felt uncomfortable being amoungst the common man- their loud mouths and unwashed ways was a turn off. Joe swifty returned to the safety of the MCC, where his barret wearing friends were eating watercrest sandwhiches and proclaiming "nice goal number 11" followed up by a subdued round of applause and a sip of his English Breakfast twinnings.

[Sir Why You Little 37,308]

I let Rip in the MCC....I have no shame..

My answer to anyone who gert shirty....."Gotta get the boys home...Prepared to Help Me??"

They don't argue after that.

The only connection I can see is Joe Gutnick used to be president.

I don't think there was much rhyme or reason to their behaviour.

Yes, thanks for your input Robbie, very typical of you & the cretins who liked it.

I often venture out, but all it does is reminds me why I prefer to be in the MCC.

Where you sit should have no bearing on the respect you show for others, but it often does.

That's another thing - I'm there to watch the footy, not get into fights.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

I've never had a problem mixing with the common man Joe, I'm down to earth and I get nothing but respect from my fellow cretins. Us common folk can be civilized too Joe, may I suggest perhaps it is you that rub people the wrong way and perhaps your problem that you don't get respect.

I feel you may put people off-side with your elitist attitude and your bowler hat and monocle?

Only ever come close to that once, and that was QBD 2004. Worth it.

When I venture out with the common swill I think to myself

"Just think sincerity ,you know you can fake it"

and pretty soon they think I am one of the ordinary .

Fools-I'm dirtier in my mind than their filthy shirts will ever be .

Yet they accept me for what I am -a Deeluded Demon dee-nying the reality .

You don't "Put up with Life" are you above all else? People are of all types, thank goodness.

Well done WYL.

[Harrisonrules 273]

If it wan't for the heritage of the MCC members our home ground would be Etihad, or Carara. Melbourne represents the MCG and not the City of Melbourne. Our combination of MCC and MFC is an asset nothing we should use to cause division in our club. It means we can have people on all sides of the ground. In our club I can talk to a Collins street toff, or a heart and soul lad from Casey, and when it comes to talking of the dees we are one.

[dee-eee 231]

MCC member for 45 years , full MFC member for 39 consecutive years. Viewing area of choice : the standing-room terraces adjacent to the Blazer Bar . Don't fall for the Couldabeens' stereotypical nonsense. I'm happy to be an MCC member AND a bit of a ratbag !

Are you sure?

I've never been into the MCC and don't want to. Being bound to the conservative rules of wearing a collared shirt puts me off. Plus, it tends to be the only drawcard for fair-weather supporters to actually attend games (and for those who feign support out of fear of being an outcast in their friendship groups).

But the MCC appear to be very vocal from my vantage point in the Olympic Stand.
