    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’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: info@melbournefc.com.au

    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

    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: 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. Unfortunately, performances like these went against the grain of what Melbourne has been producing from virtually midway through 2024 and extending right through to the present day. This is a game between two clubs who have faltered over the past couple of years because their disposal efficiency is appalling. Neither of them can hit the side of a barn door but history tells us that every once in a while such teams have their lucky days or come up against an opponent in even worse shape and hence, one of them will come up trumps in this match.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
