Are they ever going to get rid of physical membership cards and be only mobile phone ones? I know they are encouraging members to do so by offering benefits. I’m wondering how long until it doesn’t become an option. I really like having a membership card and lanyard and being able to wear it with pride, letting everyone see I’m a member. I appreciate it’s more of an effort/cost to them, but I’d hate to see it go away

Plus, I don't reckon the mobile phone in the microwave would end well.

Can someone explain how the Saints have 54k members this year and we’re only on 46k? We’ve had a higher tally them then the last few years (9k more in 2019), yet, there they are sitting 14th on the ladder or something with 8k more members than us?

Because every SMJFL player has the option to add a free 3 game St Kilda membership to their playing registration. I get one for my son each year so that I can compare their communications with members to what MFC members get.

Bought a bottle of wine at the Hugh Trumble last Sat night. $51.00.

Depends what wine it was!!

Reputable or a lower popular label being slightly/ openly upgraded in price.

You don't get any decent wine at a licensed club  or restaurant For less than $40 I would testify. 

Interestingly  glass of wine in the Gabba Members Trust in Brisbane is between $10 or $11  and a medium style so much on a par.
 

Just remember MT 64 another 7/8 home games and 3 Finals  at $50 only means about $500 before our next FLAG.
 

Better get the price of the Best Sparkling  Wine for that last Sat in September!!!

It might be more civil in Hugh Trumble Cafe than the rollicking Bull Pit full of atmospheric charm and off the cuff singing!!

Trust me I will have spent a lot more than $500 before the next flag assuming it's this year. I shudder to think what the expenditure would be if it was next years flag. I have a 73' Grange waiting, if required, for the last Sat in September. Bubbles get up my nose.

 A glass of Sav Blanc is $11 throughout the MCC so we seems to be on par with the Gabba.

Yes I have a couple of Chandons Sparkling plus a 10 yr Penfolds Bin 389 awaiting!

Lets hope we are in the position in September to choose!!

I am surprised that we haven’t passed our 2019 total, we are now a better and more mature side. Come on you true believers get on board.!!!!!!

All us true believers are no doubt already signed up but its surprising we haven't enticed more of the casual supporters to sign up considering how well the guys have been playing.

It is not easy to go BD. That and 50 years of failure is putting people off.

No updates this week? Still stuck on 46896

We MIGHT have a membership tent open this week.  Awaiting advice from AFL.

Ridiculous that they can't do this given you can go to Demon shop, crowd in, and purchase merchandise.  Or buy a hamburger from one of the pie carts outside, but you can't collect a scarf from the club at their stall.

There is a lot that is not logical George. To be honest in some areas I have given up. Paid my membership as last year and the game is now TV for me. I don't enjoy it any where near as much as going to a game but this is the game in 2021, thank God we are winning games or I might have retired.

Does anyone know how you can get the member thank you cheap donuts on Sunday by showing your membership card when you've opted for mobile membership and don't have a card?

The MFC Hub is open again from the Carlton game. Hopefully if COVID stays controlled it will stay open.

Still there Dr. we have not sold a membership in the last ten days. This club still has a lot to learn about arrogance and boasting!

I'm pretty sure it's just the website that hasn't been updated, they clearly would have sold at least one Membership in the last week and a bit.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,535]

How can we not be over 60,000?

We obviously don't have members who like pets.

Were they selling memberships outside the ground yesterday? They had a "Demon's Shop" open for scarf collection outside Gate 2 and at worse would they not be able to sell memberships in the Demon shop on Brunton Ave.

they had a separate queue marked membership so i presume they were selling memberships and handling other membership queries

[old dee 23,491]

So only 1188 for the last two weeks. I think the covid restrictions are having a large effect. Much over 50k seems a big ask.

Anyone know if the one off payment add on for a guaranteed GF ticket for Red & Blue members is still available or sold out ? (Not that I want to jinx us?)
