MCC/MFC Membership

Sir Why You Little
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™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 psychologistĀ  Itā€™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 letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™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 ruckmanā€™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 Demonsā€™ 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?
