I don't know why the MCC members, the ones who fork out the most every year to see the Dees play, are considered to be the least knowledgeable supporters

There's an obvious level of commitment/dedication there, simply by virtue of the cash you have to fork out

 

Maybe it's their sense of humour we should worry about.

    I'm also in there when I get down there. Sense of humour?

    Not sure about any angst towards the MCC.

     

    What's wrong with good dental health, and a decent fashion sense?

    Just smiled at the thought of Clarry deciding to get on here and have a quick look at what Demonlander's are saying about him and his response. WTF!!!!

    C&B in the MCC it will inevitably be "Jordie Mckenzie" or "Number 13" for  the first half of the year.

    First half of the year ????? I still think no. 14 is Barry Bourke.

    I've read these forums long enough to know there is a contingent of 'supporters' who hide behind a 'sense of humour' to mask a genuine chip on their shoulder. I don't appreciate being labelled by some prat with an inferiority complex as fairweather/non-knowledgeable when I fork out 4 times what the average joe does to support the dees and I rarely miss a game and there isn't much about the club I don't know.

    Just purely out of curiosity and not to continue the debate, do you also get a Melbourne membership? 

    Considering MCC does not increase our member tally is all. 

    I get both an MCC and reserved seats for Melbourne games, MCC is more for other events at the G but would probably give that up ahead of my Melbourne membership. 

     

    Im real excited for Clayton Oliver, was a real big fan early on and his competitiveness was what won me over, but his ability in stoppages was what caught my attention. I wonder how this translates as an 18 year old as obviously he will be playing against much more seasoned players. In terms of his decision making and vision this shouldn't be affected but possibly his ability to draw tacklers and stand up in them may take a hit

    You've become a bitter old man way too early, Stak. Cheer up mate, we haven't even lost a game yet.

    In fairness Stakk, I would think that you are preaching to the converted here. The die hard Dee.

     

    If all of us had the coin, we would be slobbering our beers all over you in the MCC members also. Im not so sure you can make it a simple debate of "I pay more for my membership, therefore I'm the better and more knowledgeable member".

     

    I'm not in the camp that thinks the MCC members are pretend members, but spare a thought for those of us who cant afford the same cash that you can please. We care just the same, even if we drink a goon sack, while you sip MOET.

    You know SWYL, having shared a few beers with you during the broadcast of a game, and sampled your fiery (passionate) disposition when the Dees play, I never pegged you as a MCC member.

     

    Never judge a book hey....

    yes I do, and it's a pure donation like the vast majority of MCC members give. This is in addition to the million that the MCC gives the club each year just for the hell of it

    how do you know I'm not on exactly the same coin as you but just stretch further to pay my MCC dues? I'm not the one generalising, you will notice I am the one PROTESTING against the poster who made a generalisation.. joking or not there are some chippy shoulders here no doubt

    I don't, I'm presuming Stak.

     

    Can you advise how much an MCC membership is please?

    570 or something.. goes up every year because they have carte-blanche to just charge whatever they want because its not like you can just go elsewhere for their produc,t and if you leave there is 200,000 waiting to take your place. Their profits must be amazing.

    Ahhh, ok. Thanks for that.

     

    I'm in the group that will fork out that amount for Trident or whatever membership once we look like regular finalists, but I certainly wouldn't do it now, considering the extra memberships I buy for family each year. (I'm not on speaking terms with 2 of them).

     

     

    Oh, by the way, Clayton Oliver looks like he might be a good player for us.

    One could, reading the last few pages, easily forget that this is a Clayton Oliver thread.

    Mods - how about setting up a pinned "personal abuse and bickering" thread?

    I am an MCC member but also get the MFC membership to support the footy club.  The way I see it the club needs my membership and I give the MCC membership a flogging during the summer.  Big Bash, test match and ODIs for me and the young fellow add up to a heap of attendance.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
