Membership numbers are already at 16,621 after a couple of days of sales ... hopefully we make it to 40,000+ in 2016

yup. i'm in again like the sucker i am, year after year...

This year there has been wailing and gnashing of teeth not to mention heartaches and heartbreaks but............, I will add 5 people and the cat to this tally in due course. Or I could buy 3 bottles of Sullivans Cove whiskey. Tempting. Advice anyone ?????

I have said this year that I won't renew, but I am a sucker for punishment so I will sign up again, although will downgrade from a 11 game to a country membership as I only get Sunday's off work now so will be lucky if I get to 1 or 2 games

So you'll be a country member ??? Believe me, we'll remember!!

The Hogan hype alone will get us very close to 40k.. if we churn out some early wins and play an exciting brand we will break 45k

I cracked it after the blues loss and stopped my auto payments...

Will prob re start that again, even tho the two hour road trip is shite, if we play better footy it will be worth it.

Just signed up a mates 1 yr old and put Hogan on his card, not that he will remember...but Hogan winning the RS should pull in a few extra members hopefully.

Yep, me too.

Yep, me too.

Me three, even though I'm missing the first half of the season.

Hey they haven't contacted me yet, a long term member, what am I a second tier member? After all the anguish I have shed this season I am but an after thought!

Nah, I paid my $700+ MCC membership and ticked the MCC/MFC box, so had to pay some more to the footy club I love.

I've received an email, that is all and seen a tweet.

I'm an AFL Gold member with Melbourne club support. I'm tempted to scrap one of the memberships (my girlfriend's) and instead buy two of the highest tier Melbourne memberships.

Is it worth it?

While i probably will get as much value as setting my money on fire i signed up a month ago.

No.

I did this a couple of years back (around 2009) because I was sick of the AFL screwing us and wanted all the money to go direct to the club.

But the fact is the club just can't compete with the AFL membership. $550 gets you into 40 H&A games with close to best seats in the house, plus pretty much free entry to first three weeks of finals (have to pay an $18 booking fee) and half price GF tickets.

If your club makes the finals and your a top tier club member (say it's the same around $550) you'll end up paying that $550 plus $80 for both week 1 and week 2 of finals, then about $160 for week three. That means you'll end up paying $870 for the year compared to $610 for an AFL Gold Member. Then you've got GF tickets which are about $180 for AFL Gold compared to $350 for club members and you'll probably get top tier Ponsford Stand.

After a couple of years on Trident Memberships my family switched back to our Full AFL Memberships (we were able to get back on without having to go on the waiting again). Main reason was value for money and being able to take my kids to finals/GF's down the track regardless of who is competing.

TL;DR - if you want value for money stick with AFL Membership if you don't care and just want to support the club get the MFC Membership.

Im playing hard to get..... probably hold out til next week...lol

A pity you support the Rams Gorgoroth because otherwise you have a great mind.

I am surprised any of us got an email.

After all it is us rusty on members who are creating the negativity that is holding the club back.

One would think they would want to start 2016 without all the negative vibe.

In again along with my two Docker & Pie supporting sons and my Blue Bagger wife. One day she will realise I keep ticking the boxes

Yeah I'm convinced lol I didn't know about the price differences with finals tickets. I always wondered why people were complaining so much about Finals tickets because I always thought they were reasonably priced. I guess I was only looking at AFL Members prices.

I'm Gold so I guess I shouldn't have a problem if Melbourne gets it.

Me too.

You know you love me!!!
