I called the club this morning and we have just ticked over 40,000 members which is where we were this time last year.

The tally will go up on mfc website closer to the start of the season.

@george_on_the_outer you might like to transfer the recent discussion in the 2025 thread to this one.

Keen to hear from any MCC members. What is the cost to be a joint MCC/MFC member?

Exclusive MCC/MFC - $89

Premium MCC/MFC - $239 (includes a free Junior up to 15 years and a 3 Game Guest Pass)

All benefits that are attached to these memberships are on the Website.

But but but everyone at the club said we wouldn’t become complacent?😠

This is on everyone at the club. The board for letting it get to the situation it has, the CEO for terrible mismanagement, the coaches for overseeing a horrible game plan and the players for putting up such a pathetic display. Heck even supporters who jump off after a year or 2 of poor results.

We are a weak organisation, no 2 ways about it. However give me 40k of rusted on loyal members over 80k bandwagoners every day of the week.

St Kilda sold 2026 memberships for $7 in August last year, entitling them to 3 Home games. Not a bad deal but it distorts the numbers. They hope those members buy a full membership in 2027.

The Saints have a 'fancy' very cheap deal nearly every year so they have high numbers. They can't afford not to; the optics of a massive drop in membership would not sit well.

They have a pretty good deal of 4-games with reserved seat for $172 without a GFG. I'd probably still buy my Redlegs membership but some mfc fans who can't get to many games would find that offer very attractive.

Their season GA reserved seat membership also doesn't have a GFG embedded in it.

Unfortunately, all MFC reserved seat memberships have a GFG attached. Nice income for the club but it would put a lot of people off buying a membership especially in the current economic and club performance environment.

I’d love to know how many members we are missing through this. From my understanding, an AFL member chooses their club alignment at no extra cost.

It has cost us dearly over 160 years.

The MCC/MFC membership is a "donation" to the MFC.

It doesn't get you into any more games, yet the spectacle is provided by the MFC, not the MCC, who just pocket the money from the annual membership fee of the MCC.

The last time I saw numbers, ( and that was some time ago) about 20% of MCC members were MFC supporters. The current membership is approx 150K.

So 25-30 K support Melbourne.

Good luck to the MCC, they would never survive on cricket income alone. Football is what fills their coffers, yet the club that grew from them remains impoverished.

True.

Well this is somewhere Steve Smith can help the club. If we can convert all of these MCC to Melbourne members then I’d love to know what our total number comes in at.

Amazing how much we suck, on so many levels, or we can do is hope those in charge have a plan

41,252 as of today.

Looks like the membership campaign has got +1,000 in a couple of days.

For those who haven't signed up to even an armchair membership, why?

Edited Friday at 01:592 days by Dannyz

+4 Just signed the family up this morning...

Play well in the praccy games, show the faithful the new, exciting game plan, win some early games and we will climb to 60k plus. Not great but still OK.

Anything 60k+ and it’s not too bad, considering the tripe on field and off served up to supporters the past 2 years.
