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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
