So I rang the club today to upgrade my son to a reserve seat membership as I already have 1, managed to get 2 seats together but it was a struggle had to change to a dry area, so if anyone is wanting to get a reserve seat sorted for next year best you get onto it lots of membership sections are sold out already and from what the lady said they have been smashed for reserved seats 

 

i also understand that all reserved seats now include the grand final guarantee tax

up until last year there were some reserved seats without the gfg, though not advertised online

Seriously? Should this not be communicated to fans on rollover arrangements before money is deducted from accounts? If anything we should be receiving this for free given that we have been unable to use reserved seats for two years.

that's what they told me on the phone. it was only kept available the last few years for existing members and not advertised on the web page for memberships. given our current premiership window i wasn't too fussed.

I’m waiting until round 5 to renew. Sick of the false hope. 

That is dangerous. You won't have your membership card at the ready to throw down the players race if we drop an early game. 😁

(I think in Balmeys first year we dropped the first 4 games.  I was so angry I went into the rooms after game 4 to give them a spray.  I saw Todd and Brett lying on the floor, absolutely shot. They would have needed a stretcher to get to the showers. I didn't say a thing.  I felt like an absolute  human reproductive organ. Mind you some of the crowd were gobbing off.)

I heard a rumour we won't be getting a physical membership card this year. It will all be digital. Which is a shame, because I have every membership I've hard since I cared about keeping such things

Difficult for the MFC to produce 200,000 membership cards in fairness :goody2:

We can opt for a physical 'souvenir' membership card.  Haven't seen one yet but I'm guessing it is similar to a regular membership card but it won't get us into the ground.  Entry is only via a mobile phone.

Exercise the option when re-newing.

Interesting on the digital membership.  The physical one's are important for junior members, my son loves getting his and showing it off.

 

I put it in early. This is the one year I’ll allow a long delay.

Surely we have to increase membership capacity for all membership sections. If you're expecting a substantial increase in memberships you've got to put them somewhere.


GF guarantees will be at a all time high.

was told on the phone when renewing that you can request a physical card (with a player's name on it).  I did.

don't know about the online or auto-renew options

My Trident membership rolled over as usual - no mention of any other conditions or changes 

I can sadly only look from afar at your lofty spot in the membership list Bbo.

Just in time for the WA borers to open and Hayden Burbank and his mate to be looking to head back home.

Hopefully just to see us play Fremantle in a round 23 friendly before we embark on 3 MCG home game finals.

The 'souvenir' card option is there for on-line renewals.  Don't know what happens with auto-renewals.

From memory LH I was sent an email asking what I wanted this year 2022 re the package.

This  year I knew I would probably not get to any games so I just took the electronic membership, no scarf,  card etc. My wife told me at the time you are sure to win it in 2021 you will have nothing from this year not even a winning scarf. How right was she, I should listen more often. 2022 I asked for everything!!!!

Check out these pages for the goodies in a Trident membership.

https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/membership/trident

https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/membership/trident-level2a

No mention of a membership card or a lanyard.  

As mentioned a 'souvenir' card is optional and free.  I was told entry to games will only be via mobile phone/app.

The other choices (free) are shown on the right below.

If you would like the card or any of the freebies call the club.  The auto-renewal won't know 🙃

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
