Looking for some information on getting either a club (Hawthorn) membership, or an AFL membership.
Having now moved to Melbourne for Uni I will be looking to go to as many games as possible this year, particularly the mighty Hawks games.
If I am still planning on going to plenty of other non-Hawthorn matches, am I better off getting an AFL membership??
If so, does that get me a reserved seat at both the MCG and Etihad for all matches?? And are you able to take a friend along for free or for a cheaper general admission ticket price?

If you are an AFL member you can take friends along with guest passes. But it does cost a little more to reserve seats on top of membership.
An AFL membership in itself is not a reserved seat. It gives you free access to AFL member if a game is not sold out. Meaning you turn up, scan your card to get entry and take your chances finding whatever seats you can find that not reserved. Sometimes that will mean sitting up quite high in top level of Great Southern Stand.
However they do give you certain dates AFL members can reserve seats if they want. Also in cricket season you can pay half price to sit in AFL members area on games like Boxing Day Test and the usual diet of one day games at the MCG. It is very handy type of membership if you like to see more games than just your own club. Gone to plenty of games with my club not in it. Still remember the Essendon v North game being absolute ripper when Wayne Carey kicked about ten goals and Lloyd kicked a bag at other end. Both were on fire in high standard match. Also been to about 3 or 4 Hawks v Geelong thrillers. Even went to Sydney v Hawthorn grand final in 2012 and last years great finish to prelim final of Hawks v Port. Well worth it if you really like seeing your football in person. Funny thing was last year I probably barely got to 10 or more Carlton games. The draw was horrible with Sunday night games, Monday games, Thursday games etc etc.
I probably only got value for money via going to the two North finals I attended and the prelim final.

New supercoach game for 2015 where one must pick the highest scoring player from each of the 9 games each round. If you get all 9 in any given week you win 25k. If no one picks 9 then I think the closest person wins 500 bucks.
Pretty cool concept actually. Makes games where you don't have any regular supercoach players playing more relevant and exciting. Would be nice to nail all 9 one week...
