Successful in the GF ballot this year so ??

I find I use my MCC membership less and less as I am getting older (but I am retiring next year so maybe I will use it more). Lining up overnight to get decent walk up seats is getting less and less attractive for the GF if I don’t get a reserved seat in the ballot. Very expensive to keep and not keen on giving it up after 40 years. 

Glad I have my Trident membership as well because most of the people I go to the games with are not MCC members.

    I've been a Melbourne Footy Club member since I could start paying for one myself, back in 2001.

    A couple of years back, I got an MCC provisional membership. It costs around $350 a year. It essentially means you get access to all matches except Finals and marquee matches. From an MFC perspective that means no Anzac Eve or Queens Birthday.

    I've kept my MFC membership going, but downgraded to a 3 game membership. It means I can get into Anzac Eve and Queens Birthday and get access for Weeks 1-3 of the finals.

    However, with the GF it means I'm Priority 3.

    Of course, I went into it with open eyes. From a budget perspective, I found it hard to justify paying for a full MFC membership (let alone a higher level one which guarantees a GF seat) when I already had paid a sizable amount for a MCC provisional membership. And of course, at the time of purchase, there seemed limited chance we'd get this far into September.

    It's a little frustrating. With the limited offering provided by provisional MCC membership (and still some years before I can get to restricted level, let alone full MCC membership), part of me thinks I should forgo it and invest in a higher level footy club membership instead.

    Can anyone confirm whether MCC level 3 is accessible for those that line up for the Grand Final, or is that part of the ballot pre-sale?

    I’ve used my MCC membership once this year for a non MFC game. I waited for so long to get it but in the last couple of years of waiting took up the Trident and loved it. Wish you could lease it out sometimes :)

    The balcony is available for those lining up, however these seats are the very first to go. I wouldn’t get your heart set on it.

    And of course, you need to be a full member.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
