Redlegs are behind the goals level 2 and they’re recently introduced level 2a (previously if you had guests from the opposition club you were required to go to 2a). 
There are two types of Redleg memberships available on level 2. Reserved seats / non reserved, the reserved are all sold out but during the week the club called me and I was able to upgrade a second membership (general admission) I had only purchased days earlier to another Redleg non reserved seat. I personally find the non reserved a better option because you may not like who you’re sitting next to or you can move depending on the weather between four bays on level 2. There is a big screen to the right for when the ball goes up the other end of the ground.

In short I’d ring the club and not take what on the website for granted as when they rang me they were going through waiting lists and presenting me with different options. 

The seats they offered were reserved seating and had not been taken yet. I was told that I could upgrade to Olympic stand once they had some more clarity from previous reserved seat members and whether they renewed or let the membership expire. Expected Jan 2022.
 

im prepared to give it a go but am not sure what I can do if I wanted to bring an additional guest with me in a reserved seat area. 

Will chew on it for another day or so but I reckon I’ll bite the bullet. Hope it’s not another COVID interrupted season. 

I have been a reserved M51 member for years. On the question of bringing a “guest” the club said it would not be to a reserved seat, rather as General Admission. I suspect there will be very few “spare” seats in the reserved seat areas for the next few years at least. Nice problem to have!

Both Trident and Redlegs can bring additional guests ( at a cost, plus general admission) although I'm not sure where you can sit for the coming season. The guest/s can join you in the Ryder & Hassett Rooms and Cuthbert Lounge. Trident and Redlegs come with an option of 2 Guest passes instead of a Scarf etc. Still need to purchase a General Admission.

Doubt it but we've saved so much not being able to go to home games and canceled flights and accom for 2 interstate games that we're going to sponsor a player.


I havent received an email as yet, it usually comes when the fixture is released.

I’d take what you can get for now, but also put your name on the waiting list for other options should they arise. 
I’m not sure how guest passes work in areas with reserved seats, as in if the bay is all reserved and everyone is in attendance where does your guest sit? Maybe up on 2a?
In the unreserved Redlegs area there were always empty seats. I was told though that whilst any restrictions remain in place on crowd numbers, guest passes would not be available.

I’m looking at my 2022 options and really wanted to get something in the Olympic stand as that is where the fans seem to congregate. However everything seems to be sold out on level 2 reserved seating. 
 

I’m looking now at Trident level for me and my son in the southern stand just on the HF flank. Never watched a game from there but managed to get this Virtual view generated online. Seems pretty good but not sure how immersed well be with other Dees fans on this side of the ground. 

my son wants ground level (10yo) so he can be closer to the action but I told him it’s not as good to watch the game unfold and you end up watching the game in the screen.

HF line Punt Rd End in the Great Southern Stand there is the Demon Seats on level 1. A fair few turn up when we’re up and about (non-Covid times). I imagine there’ll be a fair few come next year.

 

An idea for someone who is involved in membership at the club: Could the club offer stickers (eg for your car) that has number of years of membership / consecutive years of membership.  There will obviously be a lot of bandwagon supporters jumping on which is great for the club but I think most long terms members / supporters would love to be able to show they've been there the whole time.

I second that! (worth more than just a 👍, dfa)

We can write to Membership as well. This address gets a personal (though I don't know how influential) response: [email protected]

You could also mount your 2021 membership card on your window!😉 I am particularly pleased to have this memento of this wonderful year!

Great initiative by the club on a number of fronts:

  • hit members whilst we're on a high
  • no price rise - unlike at least two other clubs (Dogs, Tigers) who increased or downgraded membership packages following their premiership (not that we've won a flag recently)
  • the option (which I took up) to donate the membership package back to the club. I've recently taken a dozen scarves to the Salvos.

I mentioned in another thread how the Bulldogs alienated a very significant number of their members in relation to point 2 above.
Dogs membership climbed by 9k after their flag win, but then only 6k in the next 4 years. And that includes their introduction of a  Ballarat 2-game membership. 

Correct me if I'm wrong M_9, but Trident memberships have gone up nearly 10% for 2022

You got a premiership. Not enough?

I have a Platinum (Redlegs Home and Away) membership and posted after receiving a letter around September that, from memory, said there'd be no rise in the cost of my membership.

I no longer have the letter and may have misread it. I pay by direct debit and I think that recommences next month.

Other membership categories may not have had a price freeze..

Alternatively I may have been rewarded for having a premium membership for more than 20 years. J first purchased a membership in 1962.

My membership, which includes the GFG, is far cheaper than my Cats and Bulldog supporting mates who pay significantly more for an equivalent membership.

My understanding is that there's a long wait for a GFG membership at all of the big four clubs..

The club has frozen all membership prices for 2022.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
