You’d be lucky to find them on here as they generally only attend the big matches (as depicted above) and wouldn’t visit Demonland where most of us are passionate enough to be members. Many are very wealthy (but mean) and often bowl up and congratulate you on a great win (as though they contributed in some way)! They squirm when you regularly ask them ‘have they joined the MFC yet’ responding with: ‘why as I am a MCC member and don’t need to?’ We don’t respect them!

    Cool story bro. If you know us MCC members so well, riddle me this - why aren’t I rich and why am I a member of the MFC?

    My initial anger at your ILL INFORMED comments has subsided and realize that your comments are just plain stupid. One only has to see the scarf's in the reserve with both MCC/MFC  signs. This season coming up I shall be 60 years a member of the MFC.  I'm still shaking my head at your comments and if you read many comments on DL you would realize many are MCC members.

    Precisely the same for me and my dees loving family. We are all MFC/MCC members and love to be that category to boost numbers.

    We cheer just as loud, are just as proud and go to as many games as we can (when we're not on hols in Port Douglas or Fiji that is )

    Don't tar us with that brush CB

    Hasty illfounded generalization. Can you provide any figures to suggest that the patterns of attendance at MFC games by MCC members differs from other supporters. I have been a member of the MFC for over forty years and a member of the cricket club. From my observations from both in the members and the outer, in  dark times supporters are just as scarce in both areas. In fact, possibly because, in the old days, you could seek sanctuary in a good bar as Melbourne were being thrashed yet again, the members that did attend outlasted those in the outer.

    There are any number of Demonland contributers and readers who are MCC members, however these sort of illconsidered comments only serve to alienate the people who the club are trying to reach out to.

    If this is the standard of your contribution I neither want nor seek your respect.

    Actually you do have a point (if IMHO badly expressed). I know MCC members who claim to support the Football Club yet don’t know much about the team and never go to matches. How wealthy they are,, I’m not sure?. It’s an interesting fact about MCC members, as many as 40% never go to events and of the remaining 60%, maybe 30% go to a match (cricket or football) once or twice a year.

    So, you pay $15.00 a year membership, lucky bu#*er! There’s that story from a few years ago concerning the man who travelled from England to attend the 50 year lunch. It was his first visit to the MCG!

    No not that long with the MCC. It's with the MFC (footy club) 60 years. In our group we  have a few 50 year + MCC members and yes they only pay $15.00. Importantly ALL of my group are also footy club members.

    encouraging mcc members to become mfc members (if they haven't already) by shaming or demeaning them seems pretty counteractive to me

    Ha! At first glance the interests that you list in your profile along with where you live all look like top end of town pursuits to me: 

    "Inner Melbourne

    Interests:diving with big sharks, racing windsurfers, contemporary art, consuming fine wines & watching the Dees"

    I am sure that you would argue otherwise and I am certainly not going to fall into the trap of applying stereotypes to you either.

    I can confirm that I only share one of those pursuits and that is following the Dees.  I am a 40 year member of the MCC and also an MFC member since I have been back in Australia (20Years). I have some coin for which I have worked unashamedly hard for.

    Why would you set out to exclude such a major part of the fan base when together it makes us one of the powerhouses of the league.

    Seriously!

    I'm an MCC member and have missed 2 games since 2006. So i take offence to the 'only attend big matches'. I am of the opinion that the MCC members is always busy during Melbourne games and always looks more full than the members section of the Southern Stand. I note that the red seat members seem to be in attendance in bigger numbers than the Southern Stand. 

     

    Oh and I am an 8 year consecutive member of the MFC and buy a full membership, not the associate one. i had always been a member of both MFC/MCC. I used to be a Redlegs member but no longer commit to such a high package,

    Exactly.

    We've been the butt of jokes for many years, let's not turn on each-other.

    I love my MCC membership but recognise that the reason I go to the G is to watch the Dee's so I buy the MCC/MFC membership so the club gets money from the pleasure they provide me (well,the pleasure they sometimes provide me).

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
