what is the definition of priority 1, 2 and 3 memberships?

Context?

If context is GF tickets, 1 = those with a GFG plus others; 2 = long term members (could be 20 or 25 years) plus others, 3 = Other membership types eg 3yr, GA etc.

    You'd think our results and performances over the first 5 weeks would be crucial for realising our aspirtions to reach 75k members.  5-0 or 4-1 would go along way towards it, as would a much more attacking brand and hopefully some big margins.

    Would be great to only drop one at most out of Bulldogs, Lions, and Swans, then hammer the Eagles and Dons leading into the Anzac Day Eve game agaisnt the Tigers would have even the most pessmistic MFC supporter up and about and hopefully eager to get aboard financially.

    The most likely one is the Brisbane game, we play them at the Gabba.

    I'll be heading to the Gabba for the very first time, so would love the score line to be the same.

    I doubt it though but I'll take any win!

    My scarf, card and stickers turned up today.

    I like that the card has my seat printed on it. It’ll make me extra smug when I point it out to some ring in whose sitting in my seat.

    This is going to sound dumb but I stopped going coz I think I am a curse on the team, as soon as I stopped in 2019 we started to rise.

    Any supporter older than 45 can regard themselves as the kiss of death.   

    Worked out with 1987 and a 10 y.o. age of criminal responsibility.

    Apparently so has the membership Dept DC. 

    Excluding today, as it was obviously going to be a huge 24 hours given it's Melbourne M'ship day,  the demand to join in general plus other general inquiries/ admin requests on the m'ship side is said to be off the charts at the moment.

    While this is obviously a great situation to be in, i'm also lead to believe the club has allegedly underestimated the situation and is (or was at one point) majorly under-staffed.  A number of ring-ins (parden the pun) have been recruited from within and without apparently in order to assist & play catch up.

    they have been advertising on the radio 6 games for a standard 3 game membership (for a limited time)

    that's a good deal and no doubt getting lots of interest

    @Dr. Gonzo do you see Charlie Spargo as our version of Kimi Raikonnen?

    Kimi, deadpan delivery. A great ambassador for Finland as referenced by some of his famous quotes.

    Charles is a great man. He will relish the new wing structure

    Our last 4 crowds at the MCG were:

    Round 21  vs Pies        70,000  home

    Round  22 vs Blues      55,000  home 

    Qualifying Final  vs Swans  72,000 or 78, 000 not sure. 

    Semi Final vs Lions       62,000

    Hardly a drop off. !!! Yes if we played Pies Cats or Tigers would have been sellouts I suppose. 

    I don't think it's fair to include finals crowds in the attendance discussion.

    The round 21 crowd against the pies was made up of 50,000 of them, was the most disappointing Melbourne turnout of the year.

    But they will be scarred from last year GF. And they typically start slow.

    He is very passionate about NBA, you'll see him tweeting most days about his beloved Lakers.

    Kimi is a legend and very much missed in the F1 paddock. He at least has a personality.

    I’m confused. This figure was reached at 3:34pm today according to a DA member in the know.

    Maybe you have E.S.P.,Daise.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
