Last Thursday i paid the MCC/MFC dual Membership for next year.
It’s not cheap and with all the madness circling at the moment, i certainly thought about it for a while, but i pressed the “Pay Now” Button as i always do. $1,114.00

I am just wondering who else on here has done the same, are Members going to stick by us next year or will they keep the wallet closed 

Roffey didn’t inspire me at all during the week, i heard the spiel live on air and once again later. Very underwhelming 

The next 2-3 weeks are going to be pivotal for the club i believe. I hope the Members stick together (with a caveat!)
 

 

Did it the day I got the email. Mind you I am rusted on, but if Mr 5yos 2 favourite players in trak and kozzie leave itll be very difficult to drag him to games

I renewed mcc without mfc

 

Anyone not renewing because they’re unhappy with board or management or a particular player is weak as [censored]. 

Financial reasons I can understand (although I would suggest downgrading to cheaper options rather than cancelling) but punishing the club as a [censored] protest against any individual(s) is childish and self-defeating.

I’m weighing it up at the moment. Financially we are cash strapped, being in NSW means the likelihood of actually being able to attend games is not great, and lastly, my health has me in a position where, frankly, I may not last a full season let alone be in a state to get to games.

Is this the first time you have dropped the Club?

Sometimes it can be a great catalyst for change 

If all this was happening to a rival club, we would all be laughing and celebrating their incompetence.

Write them an email, send them a lette, start a petition, mount a board challenge (just don’t take the club to court ffs). Do what you like but costing the club financially is counterproductive and will not result in greater success in any way.

Yes. So what? Should I laugh and celebrate my own clubs troubles?

No of course not. I just hope the Club now understand the damage they have caused. 
We are observers…

Best of luck HT. As I said above I don’t begrudge anyone who has to make choices to balance the books. No shame in downgrading to an armchair/3-game membership either though if you can stretch things to that.

I’m certain they know things aren’t great. But every member we get proves our value to sponsors, and provides weight when talking to the afl about fixturing and all other matters. 

Missing finals will already have an impact but those of us than can afford to stick fat should do so for the longer term good of the club. 

im here forever

Keep up the good fight mate...my thoughts are with you.

I agree.
But the Club has got to run itself properly.

I don’t think it has done that at all well for at least 2 years 


6 of our original 7 are keeping our premium memberships, unfortunately 1 has fallen out of love with AFL/ Umpiring/ Press and to an extent our club over the past two years.

Not going to leap to their defence, but I’d suggest if you want to give them a piece of your mind get down to the AGM and give em hell.
 

Cancelling the membership is a very indirect and ineffective way to communicate a specific grievance with how the club is run but very effective at harming the club.

I’ve paid up, so that is not the issue

At the moment I’m considering renewing just my son’s membership. At least we’ll still be supporting the club financially and I’m a rusted on supporter regardless.

This year I had to cancel due to financial struggles.

Next year I am returning on a 3 game membership because finances are still not that great.

Hoping by 2026 I can return to my red legs reserved seat membership.

Don't hurt the club. Call out those individuals that are hurting the club.


My love for the club took a massive hit after 4 straight finals losses at the MCG after watching a premiership under house arrest following decades of pain.

I haven't given up on the club but what has transpired over the past 12 months has seen me fall out of love with the Melbourne Football Club. You simply can't defend the club anymore. Last year's Semi final broke me and this year has angered me.

I will wait to see what happens with Petracca and over trade period before I make a decision. Not sure I could forgive the club for how this has all unravelled. We all deserve much better.

As it stands however I am more likely than not looking at suspending my membership for a year.

Now a full MCC member, so may drop the GFG. Save some money for drinks at the games to get me through them aha

Sorry to hear it. Hope you get to see Max lift the 2025 premiership cup!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
