The 2017 Membership Thread

Featured Replies

Posted

I notice we have almost 22,000 members for next season already. I'm not sure how that compares with '16, can anyone bring up comparable figures please

 

We are in great shape Dee Dee!

The earliest read I have is 19,026 on Oct 26, 2015, so at least 3,000 up on this time last year! 

For those wanting to track how we are going vs prior years this thread might be useful:

Beating the Hawks and Hogan re-signing would be a huge part of that additional 3,000.  Now that Lewis chose us and is on board it should give the numbers another boost.

PJ had a goal of 50,000 for 2017.  Doubt we will get there but would expect that we will get at least 45,000.  We are nearly half way there! 

Exciting times:cool:

Win early games and that number escalates quickly.

We should be pushing 40k at the start of the season. Win 3-4 in the first 5-6 games and look like a good team and 45k is a shoe in.

 

Can anyone tell me if MCC members that nominate Melbourne as their team are added into our tally? And do we receive any money for them?

Any thoughts on combining this thread with a new or renewed sponsors thread, for the time being, to keep in the loop without switching.

Here is a list of dates and membership tallies over the past few years. I will update as we hit each date again this year. Its handy it is on the first page. It will be easy to reference until the end of the 2017 membership tally. Mods it would be good to tack this topic at the top of the board as it will be recurring for most of the next year.

I take credit for the upsurge in membership. Last week I registered the entire family, kids, their spouses, grandkids all at my cost. Exception being my wife who claims to be a Bombers fan (fittingly she's a pharmacist) but with Melksham and Hibberd on board, I think she could be convinced - especially if we creep closer to 40k.

Nice work Jack!

Since you're clearly in a generous mood, I'll do my bit for the club by allowing you to renew my membership. We can sign up "the lads" too.

I'll pm you the details.

Thanks again!! 

 

yes and yes

MCC members who nominate Melbourne as their team are NOT included in the MFC membership tally (unless they pay a MFC membership subscription)! All the MCC does for the MFC is that it provides the facility to pay both Club memberships at the one time. MCC members get nothing for nothing.

I'm weighing up my options at the moment. 

Should I buy crack cocaine or a Melbourne membership

crack cocaine/ melbourne membership ??

crack cocaine / melbourne membership ??

Which one will give me the greatest long term joy ?? 

Its a toughie !!

We should be pushing 40k at the start of the season. Win 3-4 in the first 5-6 games and look like a good team and 45k is a shoe in.

I think that if we win consistently instead of one game on and one game off then that would improve membership more dramatically. 

So many blokes spouses support TWSNBN, wonder what the reason for that is? It's not as if we are the ugly ones, must be some psychological revolt.

I thought you got a reduced price membership for mcc members if you took up the offer. Are you saying you have to pay the normal full mfc membership?

I understood also a special price for joint MCC/MFC membership .

It depends on what you mean by full price, most MCC members now add the MFC membership, there are two a normal one that I think cost around $80 last year and a premium which includes a free junior which was around $130 of course that is on top of MCC membership, as most sit in MCC section it is more or less a donation, although you do get a dual badged scarf

so yes, it is cheaper than a normal standalone membership (and agree it is more like a donation)

and yes, the (extra) money goes to the mfc and it counts just like a standalone membership, as was originally asked

It's a special category as MCC members automatically gain admission to all games at the G (for which they pay handsomely)! They don't need the same entitlements as other MFC categories (such as admission to home games) so in many respects their MFC membership is effectively a donation.

As a final word on the MCC/MFC membership there is a small proportion of MCC (so-called) Demon supporters who are too lousy to take out the add-on MFC membership despite the modest cost. The MCC/MFC members as a group are generally a passionate bunch and hold these others in disdain.

Probably the same ones that escape to the ski slopes in winter rather than go to the footy as well.

It's up to the MFC to entice these MCC members to take up a membership. They already pay a fortune for MCC and if they're paying $80 pp on top for nothing it adds up. Give them something for that $80, access to the club rooms, a premium members function, a presentation by the coach - something to make it worthwhile and more than just a donation.

A very generous benefactor. And a loyal husband given your wife's allegiance.

This stereotype needs to be knocked on the head once and for all. MFC supporters now ski in Japan. These ski holidays do not clash with the AFL season proper!

As a boy growing up in the northern suburbs, surrounded by Collingwood (my 4 brothers all barracked for the filth) and Essendon supporters, I have been to the snow once in my life.  Thought is was a very expensive way to get wet and cold and I was lousy at the aprés ski.  I am atypical of the so called stereotype, keeping in mind Trigon's irony.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
