Yeah, definitely. If I move back to Melbourne, I'd imagine I'd be going to the football all the time for as long as I can. Plus, when you're an old gramps you would want to go all the time, need something to do in old age.

Personally Yes, what is the harm basically? It costs $66 to nominate, but you might as well, you dont know what youll be doing in 20 years, may come in handy

I am 3 years into my AFL membership though. So I am just debating on whether dumping one for the other, or keeping both.
Hehehe hmmm might nominate as well
Its only 14-15 years before you get Restricted Membership and thats almost as good as Full Membership anyway.
Keep the AFL until you get the MCC. That's unless you really enjoy going to the other stadiums.

Is it true that you have to pay for those 14-15 years when you are on the waiting list? Or is it only the $66

No, the only outlay before getting offered Restricted is the $66

As i said above, having only allowed in 3 months of restricted members at the last intake, it is likely to be well and truly more then 20 years now just for Restricted
66 is an upfront fee just to join the waiting list. No more fees until your name comes up when you have to pay a joining fee and a years subs
Definently, the MCC section is chockers with 50+ers. It's more for the older population.
The wait for full membership would be more then 20years though. 20 years for restricted at the moment, and id imagine it will get bigger and bigger.
As for me, i got put on in 2004.
Keep AFL untill you get MCC.
From the MCC website:
All candidates on the waiting list from May 1, 1988 to September 30, 1988 have been offered Full membership.
Waiting list candidates nominated from November 1, 1994 to January 31, 1995 inclusive will be offered Restricted membership,
i was put on the waiting list March 1999...
Given the way the list is moving at the moment, I'm looking at another 10 years at least... So that's 20 years on the waiting list before I receive restricted membership... However long after that before I receive full membership...
Obviously the demographics of the list and the membership change over time, so these times will speed up and slow down depending on the age of the membership mostly... Like in 20 years time, when all the Baby Boomers who are members now start dropping off, the membership intake will increase you would think, but by that stage the waiting list could be huge...
I'm definitely considering taking up AFL membership... An expected 8 years wait before you receive their full membership, and Grand Final access... Even though I'd prefer to be in the MCC, I could have a grand final ticket every year, in 8 years time, when I'd be looking at 25 years with the MCC...

I was on the waiting list for 11 years.
Been a restricted member for about 9 years, just received my offer for full membership in the post for the year starting September 2009.
20 years all up.
I will be in line for the ballot to watch the Catters win their second premiership in 3 years

i was nominated at birth
june 88
can't remember the year i got my restricted membership but it was before they introduced the photo identification.
got offered full membership this year - just in time to watch Melbournes premiership

Bad choice.
The AFL treat their members like shit and will shift with the winds as soon as a more profitable opportunity comes up. The MCC treat their members like members and will consistently show 100% loyalty to them in their dealings.
And you dont have the sun in your eyes. And you dont get beer spilt over you in your seat.

Let's hit the f*ken road!
The list for getting a restricted has hardly moved the last 3 years.
Hurry up and die you selfish bastards.
And as one of the previous posters mentioned it is moving at about 4 months/ year. Given that i registered in 2004, if it continues at that speed i won't be offered a restricted for another 27 years!

you should call up the MCC about that
I assume you travel a lot
fk. i'm 23, and wasn't expecting this.
I'm basically the same story. Put on the list a few days after July 1986. Restricted at 16, Full at 19.
Huh?
You live in Sydney ... i assume you travel to melbourne a lot in order to get your money's worth?
Nah, I changed my membership to an interstate member (or something like that) when I moved up last year , it's cheaper. I've only been to the Richmond v Sydney game this year. I'm keeping it wherever I live because odds are I'll be back in Melbourne one day.
How much cheaper are we talking?
There's restricted and full
There's metro, country and interstate?
There's intermediate and adult (over 25 years old probably)
Good to know they at least break it down across categories rather hitting up everyone for a large fee.
