    So it's part of the MCC but not run by the MCC?

    Correct, the football club has a separate board but still gets some help from the cricket club. Years ago the MCC was more hands on, but no more.

    Any reason as to why The MFC hasn't tried to sever it's ties with The MCC?

    It did for a time, but returned to the fold when Jim Stynes was MFC president. If you look at the history of the football club you’ll find why they are so closely tied.

    Can we quit the dictator Dan [censored]?

    The same 'dictator' to be democratically elected in a landslide.

    If like this year we're still flogging three game memberships deep into the season then we could top 80k I think.

    So we finally won a Grand Final.

    Im still drifting between drunk and hungover and have spent up big on club merch. I know im not alone, and many would have spent much more than me going by the jumper auctions online. This premiership will do so much for the club that its effects will be felt for years.

    One of the huge improvements should be club membership next year. Lets see who can get closest to the official figure.

    53,706 was this years total and we will break that by a long way.

    My guess for next year is 67,500.

    Whats yours?

    53k is great in this horrible covid time.

    Your guess sounds good but may be higher depending on covid.

    Another year like this one and fans free to flock to the G could see 70 plus.

    This could be a decade of success on and off the turf.

    Thanks for the information.   I've always wondered about the MCC connection.

    Prediction: 64,2021 😉

    I wonder how much work we’ve been doing (and can do) with the Chinese and Multicultural community that we had been doing so well at during 2018. That seems to have dropped off the radar a bit in the club’s communications.

    That being said, there’s no better recruitment tool than actual winning! 😄

    Hi all looking for some feedback on 2022 memberships. Looking to upgrade and wanted some ideas on best options.

    i like the idea of being in the Olympic Stand but don’t like being at ground level. Not a huge fan of the SOuthern Stand as we seem to be away from the crop of Melbourne supporters. 
     

    In the Olympic Stand the Q section Is the top tier and according to the seat map is public admission. Is this available to the home membership (base level)? If so are there any additional charges on the day as opposed to the southern stand)?

    Q2 is there a trident family equivalent or at least a junior variation to the membership? If so Is this considered reserved seating as it appears to be a waiting list involved here. Not sure I’ll get access to this though. 

    any other options? Looking to spend ball park $500 for myself and son (10 yo) and optionally mrs. 

    Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
