Collingwood get a better deal than we do and for more games. History is nice but it doesn't compare to capitalism. We are still the poor relation even though we were born out of the club/ground.

Absolutely. We need to turn that around over the next decade. 

Can be done with good onfield performances

The MFC membership is merely a donation on our behalf. In return we get a scarf and a sticker... I understand why MCC members don't buy one. It's like asking people to fork out $85 - $160 extra for the same product with little to no gain in return. If you want our money, then the MFC need to offer dual members extra add ons, or a reduced rate of membership. Hell, even put on a sausage sizzle for dual members one day of the year with a chance to meet the players and i'm sure they will all fork out the extra $85. 

As I recall the dual membership used to give access to an evening in the MCC at a function with the coach. I think it was when The Reverend was at the helm. At some point after that they re-jigged the MCC/MFC thing & formed 2 categories

They also gave a free junior MFC membership which was useful. There are a couple of Demon relatives of mine in their late teens, early 20's who were introduced to the MFC with one of these free memberships I'd imagine there are plenty more so that was a worthwhile promotion

When things were really crook and our attendances sucked I used to enter via the MCC, get a passout, then enter with my MFC membership to increase the crowd stats by one.

At the end of the day it's not about what you get - it is a donation. Rather than pins and scarves etc I'd rather the club just keep and use the money. How many scarves can you wear ?

It seems the biggest complaint dual members and non dual members have regarding the dual membership is that they get nothing for it. It's clear that the club needs to step up to the plate an offer something more to give people some bang for their buck if they want to entice them. Perhaps it could be a function with players in attendance. Could be paid for by a sponsor if the club wants to keep costs down.

maybe go back to treating supporters and/or members... as they did back in the 70's & 80's_  prior to the new Northern Stand schemozzle,  just for starters.

 

Since they built that Northern stand...  ordinary Mfc supporters have been treated as stateless.  since then kids cannot get within cooee of the players race.

Let alone the rooms, before or after.    talk about 'Trumps Wall'.

 

We pay the MCC/MFC full membership for our five (grown up and with mortgages) children as well as for me and the old fashioned Guest ticket for my wife.

I start taking Valium in August 

One thing you do get with the full MFC is a nominated  child to be a member and with 13 grandchildren only one of whom is unfaithful (poo and wee) there’s no shortage of candidates to take up the membership.

In a couple of years my 50 year membership of the MCC comes up and the annual premium becomes $50 a year which means I might be able to give up work 

MCC and MFC need to dangle a better carrot here.

 

Should be a section for Melbourne v. Non-MFC tennant games to get priority seating, or a tweed jacket, or pipe or Range-Rover key ring.

Sorry but you don't go hard enough, Mrs Worship could chalk that up on her own.

I'm a Restricted Member of the MCC, won't be a Full member for at least another 6-7 years.

In the event that MFC make a Grand Final i'd have no chance through the MCC - would need to rely on MFC/MCC (Premium) with Grand Final Add on.

(Also get the 3xGuest Pass for selected games (have these been announced?) and a Young Demon membership, just need to find a young demon ahah. )

$545 (MCC Restricted Membership)
$219 (MFC/MCC Premium Membership)
$229 (Grand Final Guarantee)

So In essence that's a $448 'donation' on top of $545 for the chance to buy a GF ticket - Not that I'd be complaining if it occurred!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Re your question on the 3 guest passes 

Yes - every MFC home game is an option this year! Huge win!

This was a pleasant surprise to see when my pack came in the mail. Got to hand it to the club for responding to the feedback that I couldn't find anyone interested in the Port Adelaide or Gold Coast games (I'm sure they were getting from more than just me)

I've been going the MFC/MCC Premium option for 12 years now. It's a bit pricey but you get:

Full Membership (incl. a vote)

Category 2 Grand Finals Ticket preference

3 x MCC visitor tickets

Free Junior Membership (he gets stickers too)

Scarf (to put with the 20 others in the cupboard)

So more than just a donatio in my mind

Oh... I almost forgot the fridge magnet

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
