Might be a few less members next year after our disappointing final series.

If we recruit well and start the season strongly, we will be fine. 
win a few more at The MCG would certainly help

Seems the Grand Final Guarantee has gone up from $229 to $298 in 2023.

Bit stiff given our 2021 success was in WA and we fizzled out this year.

i'm yet to find out if the gfg is still mandatory for all reserved seat options.....as it was last year

i buy an extra 2 tickets for grandkids and i'll be [censored] if i will pay an extra $298 x 3 on top of a reserved seat charge

the gfg doesn't even pay for a seat at the gf, just the option. i think the gfg is a bit of a rort for all the clubs. they have lots of other options to decide priority levels for members.

Agreed it's a bit of a rort but I'm an Restricted MCC Member so I i'd have a very low chance of attending a Grand Final in the Reserve so need to rely on my usual add-ons to have a chance going to the big dance. 

So each year on top of the MCC Membership I get the following

  • MFC/MCC Premium Member Add-On ($225) 
  • GFG ($229)

So I definitely support the club with the above, just this increase sits a little uneasy with me.

well this season they wouldn't sell me my reserved seat (i've had for over 10 years) anymore without the extra gfg.

coming off the flag and hoping for a 2peat i thought oh well, what the heck, why not

I’m assuming you’re aware of these membership costs due to a notification about auto renewals?

I can’t seen any info about 2023 memberships anywhere on the site. Am I missing something?

No.

I spoke to membership depart last week. Among other things they said 2023 membership etc costs won't be available till mid October. Yesterday I got confirmation of the cost of my roll over membership.  I am not surprised the membership costs are rising it goes with being successful. The choice? pay more for belonging to a successful club or pay less for following an unsuccessfully club. I have spent way too many years with the later. First one please

I understand that you are 'miffed' with the price increase.

My Platinum membership has increased by $45 to $690 and I don't have any qualms about that given that, to my understanding, similar memberships at clubs such as Richmond, Essendon, Pies, Dogs etc are many $100's more (with a long waiting list).

A couple of my Dogs-supporting mates dropped their premium membership after the club radically changed the cost and entitlements of their membership following their 2016 flag.

The Tigers did likewise following their 2017 premiership.

It's supply and demand, but I reckon our premium membership packages which include a gfg are reasonably priced.

I'd look at Premium Member Packages If i wasn't already paying $615 for the MCC.

I am happy to support the club with the MFC/MCC Premium add on even though I personally don't get much value from that.

Just needed a little vent, will cost me minimum $1,138 next year if you add both memberships and the GFG.

You have more money than me Roy. I would just buy something of less value.

2022 Progressive total in Red

Actual dates in Blue

Date of first game of season Home or Away

As the 'auto' pay memberships have rolled over is it time to start the 2023 thread?

The club website is still showing the 2022 figure but it can only be a matter of time before the 2023 figures appear.

As they say in the classics 'Let's start at the beginning'. The MFC Company Secretary in his affidavit last month before the Victorian Supreme Court said "there are approximately 59,700 MFC members (this differs from the number of 66,484 published on the AFL website due to several individuals holding multiple memberships)"

Big reason why, even though I'm a proud Demon Army member, I'm keeping my Redlegs alive.  It has always had the GFG if Melbourne are participating.

all reserved seats still have the mandatory gfg charge

this also means that the total no. of reserved seats is limited to the no. of allowed gfgs (about 12k i believe)

i heard a rumour that mfc were looking for more reserved seats in the nw and w areas, but the membership staff didn't know about this.

so i just changed my 3 memberships to ga not reserved seats

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
