There was a time in the early 90s when we would receive a Christmas card signed by a player (in ink) as part of our membership and  I still have ones from Allen Jakovich, Rod Grinter and Stephen Tingay. 

These were then replaced by a card with printed autographs and one I have kept featured coach Neil Balme, Garry Lyon, Jimmy Stynes, Glenn Lovett and Tingay.

I assume the practice ceased for reasons of cost, but it was a nice gesture that I appreciated receiving each year.

The HS website has an article on how AFL clubs are rewarding member loyalty.  Can someone who can get behind the paywall report what MFC is doing and how it compares to other clubs?  Thanks in advance.

btw, I didn't see or hear that there would be a 'reward' of some sort from mfc.  Some people here reported receiving a pin with membership packs but neither myself nor my niece received one in our 'Redlegs' packs.

I got a pin but it might vary by membership category? Port gave a keyring. Some clubs upgraded everyone by one category.

Here we go LH.

Membership prices frozen across all categories.

Complimentary general admission tickets offered to 2021 members renewing as compensation.

Membership packages with included hospitality offered complimentary function.

Reserved seat renewal period extended to ensure no member loses a seat.

That is all she wrote LH. As I probably wont be going to a game next season I get nil. However it does not worry me I paid last year and would this year  even if there was not season. Just a rusted on [censored].

I’m a Trident member. I received my badge, a lanyard and a couple of stickers 

No pin or any other “reward” offers

I contacted the club via email, and they said that you had to nominate whether you wanted a pin, and If i replied to the email, they would send me one. I replied and stated "yes please", I also explained that members who choose the roll over option don't get the opportunity to select such items or choose a picture for their membership, and suggested maybe they could fix this.

This is a good point. The first year they did custom cards I got a bit overexcited and paid $5 (!) for one, then the next year a blank card turned up when I would probably have paid them another fiver. Every dollar counts.

I think they tell you when you get the renewal email to login to your member account for those extras. I'm an AFL member with MFC club support but I've done it for my kids memberships (selected a player for the card as well as purchase the birthday club add-on).

 

Have any MCC/MFC members not received their membership packs yet? I'm still awaiting mine, despite paying for it in August...

Myself & my son received ours in Dec before xmas. I only paid for mine in November ...my son earlier ...


I have not received anything yet but not worried I doubt I will be going to a game before July if there are games to go to. Funny thing is I am less enthusiastic about the coming year than of any in the last decade. Might be just my view of life in 2021 in general  at present.

cheer up, od. you can always enjoy a voyeuristic view of bucks and dimma's social life and fast eddie's pending resignation, whilst you wait for the real footy to commence

I received a scarf before Christmas, that's it, just a scarf. No membership letter, no membership card with the personalised player I'd chosen, no lanyard, no stickers, no fridge magnet with the draw on it. Just a single scarf. Rang the club and they had no explanation.

Then asked if there was any kids AFLW memberships or merch as we've just had a daughter and I want her to be a member for both teams like me. No memberships or merch available, thought that was a missed opportunity

I think it was reported that there was a hiccup with MCC notifying the Club of MCC/MFC paid memberships until much later than usual. We haven't received ours but not concerned as a quick call to memberships will sort it out.

Australia Post lost my pack and then claimed they never received it from MFC.

It scanned at one of their locations in Dandenong South.

Useless.

Must admit, sometimes I'm a bit lazy reading emails. I get to the first line and then usually move on. Missed a few things over time I admit

Be Friday or Monday based on the gap between SMS and pack arriving for me.

Lapel pin as thanks for paying 2020 in full a bit of a joke. Hobart Hurricanes gave me a players shirt, and getting a training shirt with members names sublimated into from Parramatta.

We get a scarf each year Clint From Melb snd really Hobart Hurricanes we're not affected by Covid last year As their season was over and are not this year it would seem.

Go online to the Membership area and look at all the categories 

Reckon they are s three and can be ordered online 

I paid for my overseas membership in October and soon after received the confirmation e-mail.  However - like every other year - I am locked out of the watchafl app. I have written to them to restore access, but haven’t had a response yet. The gift pack (is there one?) hasn’t arrived.
Last year they asked if I would like to forgo the gift in favour of a young supporter. I agreed and supplied my grandson’s name. But, for some silly reason, that isn’t part of the deal. They give the gift to someone of their choosing. Not a great way to bring the next génération into the Demon’s fold.

No, you're on your own there. I received my pack pre-Christmas, but I paid separately. Paid the MCC in October and the MFC in November, in case that makes a difference. (I prefer to give my money direct to the club.)

They're all for the men's team, there's no junior memberships for the AFLW team

Still waiting for my MFC membership despite paying automatically in October....seems to get slower every year

I'm auto too. Got my pack before Christmas, and have done so for some time.

Have you contacted club? Maybe an issue with your address

Sorry Redbeard understand you have had discussions with the Membership Dept.

Maybe ask if they can create a Junior category for AFLW Juniors.
Consider  writing or contacting Gary Pert.  Good luck.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
