In fairness, the club felt like a family 10 years ago when we were [censored]. Everyone was accessible. Now we are just bums/dollars in seats. The club couldn't care if we ain't there next year. 

I'm trident, and my main complaint is the mcg has replaced our bar where we can view the game with a stupid fox tv studio they use for 4 minutes a game. 

Disagree they do care !

    We are Demons Seats Plus Undercover in M55. I need the cover for my folks as they are older. Everyone in our area was so annoyed every game. We pay $580 a year, but we won’t again because we know that for the cost of a standard $200 or so membership we can rock up 90% of the time and sit wherever.

    The club is very aware of all of our frustration, and have done absolutely nothing about it - which I understand is difficult, but if they aren’t protecting the value of our spend they are the ones who’ll miss out next year.

    M55 isn't a Melbourne reserved bay. Do you mean M53 which was only added last year and only half the bay is reserved for Melbourne?

    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!)
     

    The MCC is getting ridiculously expensive is what I will say.

    I sit in N53 and get annoyed at all the opposition supporters that fill our area as well but if our own supporters bothered to turn up there’s be no empty seats for them to sit in.

    I'll be renewing my two Redleg memberships and hoping for more day games.

    A delightful part of day games is a little 4 yo named Atticus whose seat is nearby.  Little Atticus and I hi-5 every goal and when we win (we always do when he goes) he stands on the seat and belts out A Grand Old Flag as loud as his little lungs allow.  All the while he is dancing just like in 'Happy Feet'.  He is a joy to behold.

    This sounds adorable!  One of my favourite things when attending the footy is seeing how into it some kids are.  Their reactions can be so sweet or so funny!  (Of course, always better if they're a Dees fan, not that you can hold it against the poor brainwashed kids who are fans of other teams haha)

    P.S. like the new avatar but almost didn't recognise you, Luci!

    Yeah, little Atticus is special.  The little kids in my life are Pies supporters or Bulldogs ... shame.

    Glad you like the new pic of 'my boy'.  Thought it was time for a McVee update.  I love the new pic; he is in full flight and moves so gracefully.

    I can assure you it is. I was an mfc future fund member, where for $150 or so I'd get a few functions a year and meet some players. That doesn't exist these days. Want to join a function? Pay $300 for one presidents lunch.....

    Yes. Doesn’t change the fact I pay for something that has literally no value.

    $875 really isn't that bad when you consider what you get and the facilities you have access to etc. Full AFL membership is $680 and we have to pay additional booking fees to reserve seats for most big games now, for finals and still have to pay a couple of hundred for a GF ticket if you're lucky to get one! Overall, MCC seems like a bargain in comparison.

    If that's me in N53 it must be a final as there's actually Melbourne supporters in some of the other seats.

    Your overlying statement is that MFC  do not care for their members.

    I resent that and if our crowds fall or membership lessens then they will have to be creative and caring to maintain this pert of the club. 

    There will always be a small number of instances where some decisions don’t favour some members. 

    But that doesn’t mean MFC don’t care. Also ring or write to the Club about it.

    Pay up my membership, month by month, every year.  And now I'm paying for Watch AFL too, being the only way I get to see games.  Last time I didn't pay up was when the club shafted Woe (sr), which is a while back now!

    I have seats in N49 and quite often when I get there, there are other club's supporters sitting in my seats. I usually ask them to move, and they do, but one time they responded with "can you sit somewhere else?"

    The ground attendants are supposed to check tickets before allowing someone to sit there, but they don't always do it. Plus, a lot of attendees of the President's Lunch just move along the seats and sit where the best view is.

    As a one off, my wife and I attended the MCC/MFC function in the MCC Committe Room in July (Essendon game). We enjoyed the result, the meal and the company. However, when it came to taking up our reserved seats in that section, we got the same response - word for word. Not knowing my wife, they didn't appreciate the danger they immediately put themselves in! 

    The couple next to us (friends of the mover) didn't appreciate our insistance and admitted their seats were further down, but they simply moved up in case it rained. They stated they often ignored the reserved seats and sat where they liked. 

    We agreed to disagree.

    On hold for 16 minutes and counting to renew my membership..... Its gone up in $ but the service keeps getting worse.

    So the club has sent out membership renewals for 2025, yet haven't updated their website to reflect available options. No one is answering the membership line. Amateur hour.

  • Quote

    Until I was about 35, I was an MCC member. Yes, I'm one of the (rare) crazies who stopped renewing my MCC membership - no regrets. I got great value out of it for many years, but stopped going to cricket and found that the popular AFL games required getting there really early etc. I'd rather someone else had it.

    So I then switched to MFC membership, which I've had for about 15 years. Due to financial issues this year (and recently moving to the country) I cancelled our premium seats and got a KAYO Dees membership, does that count? 

    I'll get back on the train for next season, but one of the lesser memberships, 3-game or whatever the next one is. Still living in country and a little heartbroken over what's happened after what happened and happened before that. But still have hope.

    I answered that your assertion that  the Club does  not care is not true. 
    I am certainly not questioning your accuracy or truth about the seats etc details.

    Seen quite a few comments online from various clubs, all seem to be complaining about rising costs with little return. Wonder what the solution is as we're stuck in a cost of living crisis.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
