Mine was inside the cardboard envelope, glued to the inside to that.
There was also a thing you needed to select in order to get a membership card

Nope nothing.
Maybe I didn’t select it…was a while ago now. Still I’d be getting Lenny on 14 years so think I might have to contact the club afterall.
im assuming there’s still digital membership so these are more collectors items?

I didn't select a membership card , after reading people's comments I now regret it.

10th year as a member. I've been a member longer but something happened (can't remember) and my count got reset. It's only a few extra years.
Anyway, I got Lenny. Can't go wrong with that.

I love that pendant thing they included, for the 150 years. Looks fantastic, nice and heavy. The 10 year pin looks good, too.

I think the 150 year stuff has grown on me now, I can see myself grabbing a few items.

Haven't got mine yet but started buying memberships in the 90s, they lost all the membership records and I had a few years off when the kids were babies and they wouldn't count anything before that. Wanted stat decs and evidence of the old cards which I had some but not all. The were pretty rude and I'm still pissed off by it. I'm only counted as a 12 year or 14 year member or something. It makes me shitty every year. Some were after they were meant to have burnt all the records.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Yeah well that's shit


Also, for some reason it seems two payments come out now for 3 memberships when it used to be one lump sum.
Not sure what's going on there .






The ultimate member one is nice

Same thing happened to me. I was a member through the late eighties onwards. Most of the 90's and 00's were full social club.
There were a few years there where a couple of mates and myself were the ONLY clowns that would lob at the social club for interstate games. There was one horrid night where they actually kicked us out as we were reacting to a West Coast hiding in a rather poor fashion. We were the only idiots in there buying $5 cans.

First years I skipped were the dwarf years. Rejoined for the Richo blandness and I was reset back to 14 years or something. I chased it up but as you said, they wanted me to jump through hoops to resolve. Did not really mean that much at the time but of course now they make a big deal out of it.

I've had home loans with less hoops to jump through. I was asking them why I'd want to cheat them. She couldn't give me an answer but kept up her tone like I was being annoying and irritating her with my borderline criminal activity. Sent them pics of about 3 old clip cards and they didn't count them even because I'd said they were continuous and there were some missed years. She asked me to go to JOP and get a stat dec and have a formal letter written up documenting everything I had and have that signed and witnessed, then bring it all in and they would think about reviewing it. Apparently the old clip cards don't even 100% prove anything because they aren't printed with a name.

Bureaucracy gone crazy?
Pffft.
Took me more effort to register my dog in the City of the Isle of Palms in Charleston, South Carolina (so he could run on the beach) than: to get him into the States, or to get ME into the States!

I know training is officially done for the year, but anyone know if the club is open this week for membership renewals - my plan is to go in and renew the family and buy my old man his first membership as a chrissie present (to go with his vow of supposed years of ardent supporting) .......just in time for the 150 year hoopla.

Saints locker is open is open every day until Christmas Eve. I’d assume the membership area is the same. Probably best to give them a call before you head down there.

I got the great Trevor Barker on my Membership Card.

Indeed.

70s Barks
80s Plugger
90s Winmar
00s Gehrig
10s Hayes

Right? Anyone from any other decade?

My mate, who signed up last year, got Ming.

 

[PoppedCorn]

So that's it then
Is there a 60s??

Have to be Doc
Wonder how many members from the 60s we have on the books
That'd be some nice stats to see...the amount of members from each decade that's consecutive

 

[King_Steele]

Would’ve loved to get my favourite player of all time GTrain

 

[Significant]

How did they not include Rooey??
Hell, even Harvey.
Hope they split it into five year segments and Harvey is late 90s, Roo late 00s, and Steele the late 10s.

Is anyone an AFL Silver member? I'm considering swapping to that instead of my St Kilda GA. Hoping to be able to sit on the wing for at least some of our games. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences going that way instead of a club membership?

 

[PoppedCorn]

There's a thread in the main area that might help as well Cro19

AFL Silver Membership Waitlist Number

Many people did not know about AFL Membership a while ago. Me, wife and 3 kids have been member for 16 years.. All of us got Gold in 7 years because there were not many in front of us at the time. Unfortunately it's around 15 year wait list for gold now. Even with silver it's just as good value...
