MCC/MFC Membership

Sir Why You Little
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
