Is anyone else who renewed their membership last year still waiting for their membership package to arrive? If it's just me, I'll contact the club.

I did the annual payment in 2016. Before Christmas 2016, renewed automatically, no problem. 2017, nothing. Finally I had to do it myself in January as I was getting tired of waiting.

Dunno if it’s too late, but can I get my name on my card changed?  No one, not even my own father calls me “Cassandra”.

They do now...!

What's this about scarves? I received none. Don't we pick them up at the G?

 

PS: enough with the whinging. Membership is a duty.

Yes will be able to if you ring the Membership Team. The only problem will be getting the card before the first game. 

[Cassiew 1,870]

Uh, never mind then. Not worth the risk. I suppose I can be “Cassandra” one last year.

Pick them up on game day at the stand next to the Membership Hub.

So, I contacted the club today to find out that some genius decided to merge my details with another person with the same first and last name. The records now show that I have a different middle name, postal address and email but the same phone number. According to the MFC officer I spoke to that "genius" works for the Melbourne Cricket Club. On the plus side, my membership pack has been re-ordered, although how he knows for sure that I've actually paid my membership is beyond my understanding.

If anyone out there is a Melbourne Cricket Club member waiting for their MFC membership pack to arrive, I recommend you call the club. Surely I'm not the only person this has happened to.

My post was in jest as the poster claimed he posts them world wide.

Lovely name. Why not keep it?

He wont. Cassandra isn't even that keen on it. 

[stynewillalwaysbeonthevine 84]

Not sure what the best way to contact club is but we all crave content of our team as supporters and part of being a member is getting access/insight into the team. Not sure if Matt Burgan is on a sabbatical but the content is so down on previous years and even then it’s been sub par. 

1m 30 sec videos are not ok from the camp up the coast... who is best to speak to at the club? 

We rely on Saty for summer training reports and  instagram shots. He doesn’t even get paid.

Aww too sweet!

Its just that everyone knows me as Cassie since childhood. Even my father who named me calls me Cassie.

They nick-named me 'Cass' based upon part of my surname, and every party I went to in my uni days it was always: 'Jumpin Jack Flash it's a Cass!' Never lived it down. Thank heavens no-one who can remember  the 1960s lives nearby...

Just seeking clarification. Do they live elsewhere or have they all died?

Poorly worded, sorry. I meant no-one from my circle of friends from that era.

No need to apologise and it wasn't poorly worded. I was just being a smart-thing. So, it's best that I apologise.

Saty does a terrific job and his comments are first rate.

Like all things MFC, stuff will happen and get better. This IS 2018 and I'd reckon that Burgan is just brushing up on his superlatives prior to our best season since '64, for journalistic accuracy.
