MCC/MFC Membership

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 seatsĀ is getting less and less attractive for the GF if I donā€™t get a reserved seatĀ in the ballot. Very expensive to keep and not keen on giving it up after 40 years.Ā 

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

    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.Ā 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 downgradedĀ to a 3 game membership. It means I can get intoĀ 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)Ā when I already had paid a sizable amount for a MCC provisional membership. And of course, atĀ the time of purchase, there seemedĀ 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 clubĀ membership instead.Ā

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

    Iā€™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 wouldnā€™t get your heart set on it.

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

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last yearā€™s grand finalists.Ā  Well, it wasnā€™t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer.Ā A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
