Time to get on the phone and ring  membership if you are unhappy.

Not ONE D/L er can assist you  really no matter what you say. Good Luck from  Consecutive 58 year adult MFC member who can wait for the present. 

You may be the club house leader 58er, 58 years - nice one.  As I said, I wasn't concerned or complaining nor expected anyone here to assist, merely like several others mentioning it hadn't yet arrived.  All that said, I checked the Aus Post tracking number and apparantley it's been sitting at the local PO since Friday 😂

That's good luck and good news!!! PD 

Excited to open my package today. It arrived yesterday but I’ve been overseas on a business trip. 
Have they sent the scarves this year too so we no longer need to pick them up at the G?

 

Last time I lived in Melbourne - I was trident club. Hanging out at the Betty  Cuthbert Bar. Was good. Moved interstate (again) and went back to country/interstate member. 

Moved back to Melbourne the start of this year - best I could get was Demon seats in the Shane Warne Stand. They're OK. But would much rather be back where I used to be :( 

Membership team have me waitlisted...... bloody annoying 🙄  and unlikely to change I'd reckon after the rise in  Memberships now that we kinda good these days

Yeh, that's why I refuse to give up my Redlegs membership, because like Tridents, there's a waiting list.  I've been a Redlegs member since 1988 when I was 17.  Even with around 8 years living in the country I kept my Redlegs alive.

Bummer! Parcel from MFC was for my granddaughter who lives in Canberra.  Why it was sent to me I don't know as she gets special deal offers from the club when we play at Manuka, being a Canberra member, so they know!  Confusing. Don't worry 58er, I'll call the club tomorrow, I just didn't want to leave Demonlanders hanging 🤣

I have the past 25 years worth of membership cards in a shoe box in the bottom of my cupboard. I suspect I was a member before that but my dad's memory is no better than mine. Got the 25 printed on the card, but no pin that was supposed to come with my membership

Only conclusion you are very unlucky.

 

Received mine today.  The presentation is so professional, and to me, this demonstrates the genuine high regard with which we members are now held by our great Club.  Well done to the current Board, CEO, Membership Department, and everyone else involved.

Just spoke to the club.  They told me my pack will be sent in the next two weeks. I expressed how upsetting it is that:

- despite the fact I renewed in late September, I was not in the first batch to get my pack

- last season, despite the fact I renewed both my AFL and AFLW memberships in October last year I didn't get my pack until March this year, and by the time I got it, they'd run out of the membership items for the AFLW and the season was just about over anyway.

- because I renewed my AFLW membership in October, I paid $99, even though by January the price was reduced to $60, and so I paid more and got less (I didn't even get stickers)

- when season 7 AFLW memberships were announced I paid $60 for my membership, but was then told 2 weeks later season 6 memberships would be automatically rolled over.  

- Season 7 memberships were meant to come with stickers.  Guess what?  I got no bloody stickers.  Guess what else?  They've run out. So I paid $159 for two seasons of AFLW memberships, even though it was mean to be only $60, and I got nothing to show for it.  This is despite being a foundation AFLW member and season 8 silver player sponsor.

I'm a 38 year member of the club, 35 year member of Redlegs, I'm a member of the Demon Army, and Ruby Demons. Each year I pay close to $1000 for AFL and AFLW memberships for myself and my two nephews. I'm either the unluckiest member of the club, or the club genuinely hates me.....

Needless to say I have no confidence my pack is even going to come.

Hmm you seem to have a genuine case of continuing troubles KDF. I hope sounding off here helps you. I have to admit if I were you I would have seriously considered pulling the plug. Have a coffee, go for a walk and then write a letter, not an email they are too easily dismissed or lost, send it by registered post to the President explaining your problems and asking in light  of your loyal support over decades and problems for some compensation. The club is no longer in a begging bowl state due to people like you they can afford and should give you some compensation. Good luck and  go Dees

I had a similar experience a while back D4L.  It seems that records of memberships in the 1960s, 70s and 80s were a shambles, and I was only credited with continuous membership from the time that record keeping improved. 

I'm quite proud of my unbroken years of membership, especially given our many years in the 'doldrums', so I wrote to the Club, and included copies of all the cards in my shoe box (like you, I suspect that some earlier cards were missing, but I was unable to verify this). 

Bottom line:  I thought the Club handled it in a  professional way, and I've experienced no subsequent hiccups.  Hopefully it will be the same for you in future years!

Sadly for me I don’t have the old membership cards to prove my membership. My first membership was 1974, from then till now I have missed four years membership during the 80s and 90’s. No big deal that I have no proof I am happy with what  has been credited to me. I know I have been a member since 74 so that is all that matters. I wonder how many more I have to go?

Edited by old dee

Got my package today. Scarf, ticket, stickers and 35 year pin.

I have retained the annual scarf since they started. Could make a nice quilt although 2021 will always remain single and brought out only for special occasions.

GO DEES


Gee - Could not have been more disappointed with my Membership parcel this year. Pay over $600 a year and If I had not clicked on a link earlier and told them I wanted a card and a scarf i would have got a sheet of stickers in a plastic bag.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
