Does anybody have an idea when the membership packs will be sent  out ? I seem to remember we had them pre Christmas in past years so they could be given as Christmas presents!

 

 

We received the packs today minus the membership cards. Club says our cards should arrive by the end of the week.

I received an sms Friday saying that Aus Post had my memberships, assumed I would’ve received it today but didn’t? As long as I get them by the end of the week, one is a Xmas present. ?

I'm pretty sure I've always received these just prior to Christmas. I recall getting an email saying you had to purchase your memberships by a certain time in order to get then before Chrissy. 

Has anyone received the end-of-season magazine yet?

I hope the club is not struggling to service the increased number of members it has on board.

IIRC, the magazine isn't usually sent with the membership pack.  I recall it coming out before the start of the season rather than pre Christmas. 

I doubt the club is struggling to service the member numbers.  It all seems to be running very efficiently and these days highly automated.. 

In fact it appears there is an automated tracking system in place and it sends sms when membership packs are with aussie post, having be sent from the mailing house.

With all the great content we get online through the official site and social media do we really need the magazine anymore? Seems like an unnecessary cost in this day and age that could be better spent on us winning a premiership.

Just received an email from Australia Post saying that my package from MFC is due for delivery tomorrow.

That means it will likely arrive around Australia Day.

I've been wondering about that myself. One of them is my Dad's Christmas present.

Sadly , this could very well happen with Auspost. Certainly not the best service from that mob !

Well well ….. there's a surprise!

Against all odds my membership pack arrived this arvo!!!!

My MFC/Demon army membership pack(s) arrived by courier at 6.30pm tonight - Yahooooooo! The 3 other members of the family didn't get their memberships though. I think that's because I order a members cap and t-shirt and the parcel was too big for the normal post.

It's a different package this year - VERY professional looking. No longer do the items come in a 'pencil case', it's all in a paper/cardboard 'envelope' package. 

 

Gees, I feel for those waiting for Membership packs to give as Xmas presents.

why couldn’t they be mailed 2 weeks ago?

I just recieved a completely different family's 4 membership packs. Will be phoning the club and dropping the memberships off at the correct address this afternoon. I have to go past there anyway. I just hope my membership isn't being sent elsewhere as well

I haven’t received mine yet, one is a Xmas present too. I received an sms last Friday saying that Aus Post had my memberships. Unless it comes early Monday, it will be given after Xmas. ?

Edit: Melbourne membership just told me that mine has definitely been posted, also stated that Aus Post are delivering through the weekend? I still won’t hold my breath though. ?

Have you received an email from Australia Post by any chance Males with a tracking number for your delivery?

i've received no mail or sms

fortunately i'm in no hurry

but it does make you wonder about the process. as far as i know all the afl clubs use a common (outsourced?) process, so individual clubs only have limited amount of input or control

You are easily forgettable dc.

Got mine today. 

My sms was received on Monday... still nothing in the post; but it is a long bike ride up the Hume to Sydney.

I received mine today and while it is obvious that the club would have gone to great lengths to prioritise the delivery of my membership package I ask you all to be patient, the ordinary packages are on their way to you all.

No, but I haven’t any other year either? I’m hoping the lady I spoke to at Melbourne Membership was correct and Aust Post are delivering through the weekend? ??

My sister also received the SMS last week and nothing yet for herself and her kids. She’s in the same boat as you.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • 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.
