For selfish reasons, I only hope it doesn't have to be consecutive years!

I've clocked about 15 years overall, including some of the very worst years, but have a gap because a bunch of those things that happen, happened.

Personally, I think being a continuous member from 2007-2017 should also count for additional rewards. Like, a sympathetic hug from a player or a free 20-minute session in a sound proof padded room.

But, seriously, I think anything that recognises the deep durability of some members is a good idea.

Did anyone receive the email a bajillion times or was that just me?

I got a separate email for each member of the family even though we manage them all together. Is it possibly that?

And yeah, more off field goals for the club with this, really nailing it.

We have 17 memberships in the extended family but I received it over 30 times

That's a lot of recognition...

Yeah I got maybe 6.

Entered every one of them in a desperate and greedy grab at the free stuff.

Haha, I'm with you LG. Membership years between 2007 and 2017 should be like dog years

I've clocked up 37 years, I didn't get an email

Seen nothing yet but did get the AFLW Prelim at the G one twice.

This morning I got an SMS from the club saying the email address on my membership account is invalid, and to reply with an up to date email.

But last night I received the team selection email and also the AFLW finals one twice.

Just to be sure, I logged on to my MFC Membership account and the email appears to be correct.

Not sure if there are issues from the club's end with this.


I have just sent an email off to membership advising of this oversight so will wait for response.!!

Same same

We are 30+ year members (Mr and Mrs) and have not yet received an email but know that it will come.

Rather than an afternoon tea with other old fuddie duddie members, we would prefer to attend a couple of training sessions where we could meet and talk casually and informally to the players like when they held open training sessions in mid season. I recall one at Prahran and another in East Malvern.

Preferable to a phone call or an online video call that puts unnecessary pressure on the players and coaches. They were fun and the kids (grandkids) could run around and meet the players. Jack Watts was a favourite.

In any event, success is it's own reward for long term supporters like us and, personally, we want and need no more.

GO GOODY GO DEES

A lot of duplicate emails for some, but none for me :-(

(18 years consecutive)

I think for some/many of those years, certain years should be converted to 5. Or 10 more years (hello, Neeld 'era') because it certainly felt like 10 at times. It took some herculean type efforts to not obliterate the membership at times. 

None for me and I'm 15+ as MCC/MFC - wonder if that category doesn't count?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
