2019 Membership

[number 27 62]

just completed the club survey.

suggested that they somehow strike a deal with the companies that provide drinks at the venues to have MFC logo/ branding on cups etc. obviously logistics and cost would be big, but IMO it would be awesome to drink a beer with the logo on the side @ the games. make it exclusive to reinforce that we are the only home team at the venue. serve drinks in MFC cups @ all games! feck em!!

Dedicated Demon Annual – full amount deducted from your credit card on 25th October each year.

Dedicated Demon Monthly – your annual membership fee is divided into ten monthly instalments (November to August) and deducted monthly from your credit card on the first business day of each month. Payments commence upon receipt of your application, or on 1 November for rolling payment plans.

Not related to your query - we should see a big flip in membership numbers after Oct 25, then again after Nov 1 when the rollovers happen!

Anyone purchased GF guarentee? 229 is a bit of a gamble

I'm going to. If we make it it's worth twice that.

The GF ticket itself would be 400$ on top of the guarantee

Have been keenly awaiting an update! 

1,053 (3.8%) up on same time last year:  27,610 on Nov 30, 2017.  Thought we would have had a bigger leap on the back of the finals attendances but a good start, nonetheless.

[Diamond_Jim 12,590]

we need roughly a 10% increase to hit 50k so a 3.8% increase is not going to cut it. AFL club support were also rolled over last week so not sure if they are in the figures.

TBH the membership figures mean little if clubs are going to continue including 3 game memberships etc in the same category.

Post their 2016 GF Bulldogs had a waiting list for their GFG category. MFC have never had one to my knowledge. That could be a good goal for the 2019 year.

Interesting that back in October I was going to upgrade my membership to Redleg or Tridents but they were full. So no choice but to stay with a standard membership.

I might add that when I mentioned this to Mrs OD she said just as well we are away for six weeks next footy season. After checking I will miss three home games so I guess the MFC saved me.

However it does raise the issue that only GA memberships are available from October forward.

Will GA prices start rising for the 2020 season?

Interestingly I rang the club yesterday to enquire about the prices for GFG. Was told that I wouldn't get the packages relating to seating on level 2 and was recommended Demons seats plus. No mention of them being sold out so I sent the Cheque off today.

? What’s a Cheque? Is my credit card about to be replaced by new technology?

And thank goodness for that trying to keep track of all those stubs to do your Tax, etc, mind you no one could steal your identity via a Cheque book. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30,096

a 8% increase on Nov 30, 2017. 

I wouldn't be surprised to see this rise substantially before Christmas - we have already exceeded last year's Christmas Eve total.

We are on the way to reach 50,000!

On a purely selfish basis that makes it way hard to get finals tickets etc. However good result for the club finances etc.

I'm now paid up so you can add 1 to the last total.

I've just tried to renew online. I'm an MCC member wanting to take up the MCC/MFC offer but I can't renew online. Anyone else having the same problem? (I will ring the club and renew, but my concern is with the inefficiency of the membership renewal system).

[Lucifers Hero 39,820]

Gary Pert just said on SEN there are 22,000 MCC members who list MFC as their club but only 50% buy an MFC membership.

If Pert is even semi successful in that quest we will exceed 50,000!

It is around $800.00 for the combined MFC/MCC Full package so if Pert can lift those numbers significantly, he is doing some serious heavy lifting. 

Winning games early next year is paramount. Winning is the only way to get results. The rest is just cheap talk. 

The first 2 weeks of this years Finals  proved that. 

The passionate MFC Supporters ARE out there. They just want to see wins now. We have seen 3-4 lifetimes of losses. Enough.

The club needs to convert all those people begging for membership barcodes during the finals.

Good post and something we haven't mentioned for a while.

Realistically though as more clubs make the mcg their home ground the percentage of MFC followers in the mcc will decrease.

Would also love to know the age demographic of the common group. If they are in the main under 40 it could be worth a concerted effort of some magnitude.

By the way does the MCC offer common memberships for Richmond and Collingwood etc

I just paid up today, went for the Reserved Seat open air to get the GFG and hopefully inspire myself to come down from Sydney for at least 5 games this year. However unless the mods have a problem, I’d be happy to offer my M15 seat to any other interstate members who want the better seat if they want to PM me (obviously if I’m not using it myself). Super pumped for this year

La Dee-vina, 

I just did my update this morning. 
You need to log into the MCC portal and pay through that. Click on renew my membership and as you've already paid for your MCC (I imagine) it will allow you to get either a MCC premium or just exclusive membership. That should work. 

Good luck & Go Dees

As far as i know it is only an MFC arrangement. The MCG is our home. 

The others have a spiritual home elsewhere, they rent...

And nothing says "common" more than a Richmond or Collingwood membership.
