MCC Members

Okay, so myself and Kiwi girlfriend who is newly inducted to footy (Essendon member) have been invited by one of her mates to the Geelong vs Hawthorn game. We’re reminded at the last minute by her friend that I’ll need to wear a collar for the MCC members, I had no idea we were sitting there. The bonus is that I can drink full strength beer. However, I have no clean shirts nor any collared apparel apart from an Hawaiian shirt or this wonderfully ridiculous Mister Simple shirt with iced confectionary all over it.

The question is, which one do I go for? Also will the stuffy gits volunteering and manning the MCC think either of my shirts unacceptable? Will I make it through that new terrorist fencing?

This images option is complete rubbish, that and I'm technically inept. I've gone with the silly ice creams shirt.

At least I’ll get in, unlike cerebral giant Ritchie Vandenberg all those years ago wearing $300 pair of ripped designer jeans.

Sorry to tell you this he is no dill, except once he crosses the boundary line into the field of play.

Cannot get an image of the shirts up…tried everything. Poll is doomed!

I’d lend you a shirt, but I don’t think I’m on your way.
Both of yours sound pretty dodge.

Hawaiian works everywhere

But only if you’re gay or a fat party guy.

Homer Simpson taught us that.

Right choice, if anyone says anything just say it’s the lastest European fashion and your bringing it to OZ. :wink:

Good point - not sure what he did before the MCC was founded.

Those rates for the provisional intake aren’t going to fix the problem they were hoping to solve. Personally I think they could push through more given how few occasions the members is actually full.

I will be forever thankful that my parents put me down at birth. I got my junior membership at 15 - assume this class is basically non-existent now - and then I got my full membership upon turning 18. Think I got lucky that I was just before they moved out of the dark ages and started accepted women members. Also at the time in the early 80s there was talk of moving the Grand Final to VFL Park so people starting opting for VFL memberships.
