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

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.

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'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?

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.

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.

Me too.

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.

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
