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.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
