Did your premium membership package come in the box?  I haven't received my pack yet, but I really loved the box it came in last couple of years.

Yep, and a blurb from the club congratulating me on 17yrs 

 

Received an email from Aust Post that it’s on its way, today or Tuesday.👍😁

I should be getting a 40 year milestone pin with my membership this year, which will be nifty.

That is a super effort, we will be scratching to make our 30th in two years time. Lol.!!

from what I can see, all resrved seating attracts the mandatory grand final ticket tax. there doesnt seem to be a way to get just the seat. My reserved seats for myself, and two children (18 and 15) cost $1500.00, not cheap.

It’s not a tax it’s a bonus IMO but that’s  looking at it as a half glass empty. 

Got my pack today, nice and early 😃

What is the membership target for 2025?

As many as we can get. Lol.🤣🤣

I've just gritted my teeth and renewed Redlegs.  It's the classic triumph of optimism over experience.  It's a new season and all victories are theoretically possible!  

I asked to move bays to be closer to some friends and away from two of the most negative fans I've ever met who sat behind me.  They spoiled what little enjoyment was to be had from last season with relentless sour comments and whinging.  Most games I had to move seats by half time.   Whoever you two fellas are you need to lighten up.  

I had gone up to Redlegs after 2023 as the supposed Melbourne zone I was in near the 50arc was full of horrible and aggressive oppo fans occupying our seats.  In the middle of that season I had enough when three Carlton fans on general admission kept kicking my seat, spilling beer and taking photos as they were trying to goad me into fighting them.  It was free for all riff raff to stroll in and sit wherever they wanted and pointless paying extra for what was effectively general admission.

You need to bring this up with the club, you should be able to sit in the redlegs area surrounded by like supporters. Visitors are supposed to sit in level 2A, not level 2, occasionally I will bring one visitor, but I always ask them to dress neutrally and be aware of where they are. I would be interested to know what bay you have been allocated.

Thank you :) My membership has been consecutive since the age of 14 in 1985.  I remember during the early 2000s the membership card stated the first year we were members, mine said 1979, when I would have been 8.  I asked Dad about that, he said he'd bought a family membership and put my name and my brother's name on it, but since Mum was a Hawks supporter, there was no other adult for the membership, so he didn't do it again until 1985 when my brother became an adult (he turned 18). It was more cost effective that way.  Nonetheless, once I turned 18 in 1989, we just bought individual memberships, and we joined Redlegs the year before in 1988.  I've been a Redlegs member since.  Dad was a 50 year member when he passed away in 2019.

Thanks Demon spurs.  The problems I had weren't in Redlegs because the MCC staff seem to check everyone's membership card on entry. 

It was down in M53 which was sold as a Melbourne members area but was never controlled and was just a de facto general admission area.  If there's nobody checking tickets at the entrance then opposition fans could justifiably feel entitled to sit there.  

I got an email last night saying my membership pack is on its way.  It arrived last Monday.  🙂

My scarf + stickers arrived today. No card though. (I took the card option cos I'm old.)

Give membership a call they are very helpful and short wait time, we are the same like our card to get in and access the Lindsey Hasset Room , etc. 😁


argh, how's this or annoying.  I was wondering why my pack wasn't coming yet, and then yesterday I got an email saying my November 1st payment didn't go through.  As it turned out I forgot to inform the club of my new card details!  All fixed now but it means my pack will be coming in a few weeks' time 😩

Check on the card they sent, mine was hard to see.

Mine came last week, as well as my Little Demons for my young one who is nearly 2. His came with a little footy and a cup / button game which had some pieces that looked like a choking hazard. Read the packaging and it said ages 3+. I hid it before he could see and he was pretty happy with the footy.
 

Got a call from the club on Monday about this issue, apparently following a few complaints, and a replacement will be sent. Could have been some tough calls that day, but the person who called me was very professional and polite. Also got an email from the club yesterday on the issue too.

 

Got a weird email from the club last night saying As an MCC member why not also join the MFC....I think...20 years too late for that; and my membership pack arrived 10 days ago....

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
