Had noticed that the club had released the membership details on social media so I thought that i would make sure all of the details were still right, and got a bit of a surprise.

We begin 2018 as a club that has not participated in a bloody final in 12 years let alone a grand final, so I was very disappointed to see that the cost for a grand final guarantee has leapt from 80 to 229 dollars! I admit that as an interstate member I have a cheaper membership than most that would join here, but I can only manage to get to about 4 games a year. I have had the GFG attached to my membership since around 2011 - Bailey was still coach. I guess I am just frustrated that they were only too happy to take the money while the club was an absolute shambles, but get a bit of confidence into the supporters and then increase the cost by 65%.

I would not be so frustrated, but I still don't know which Melbourne is going to show up on the park week in week out, and then the club says pay more than my membership for the off chance that we will make the GF.

Sorry about the rant, just feel a bit exploited. Would have been better off just getting an AFL membership, can go to games for any club for the same cost and still have a shot GF tickets by nominating Melbourne as my club.

My invoices FYI

No one with any betting sense would choose GF guarantee 

. Terrible odds.

Just think that its better to go redlegs home... not much more cash for better options!

 

If you go Redlegs do it quickly.  I have had mine for nearly 20 years mainly to get the GFG (an eternal optimist:huh:).  In July I wanted to add my niece and there were not many left Redleg memberships left.

It seems a bit unfair of the club to increase the GFG by so much - they haven't increased the Redlegs membership by very much at all.

Too true, did it just then and there were very few left. Had a chat with a friend and as I am currently back at Uni full time I can get a concession membership which lessens the blow considerably.

Clearly you are more filthy rich than me Luci. I can only afford a Trident but it does have a GF guarantee.

I will be interested to see my renewal invoice.

HaHa!  A Trident membership is dearer than a Redlegs!

And I'm sure the Romsey Manor is far more palatial than my Bayside digs:cool:

This could start to explain the GWS membership figures that some were mentioning last week

I heard just last week that even the 3 game GWS membership had a guaranteed GF ticket, people were apparently buying them in the hope that their team would play GWS.

Up to $569 for 2018 I'm afraid.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
