Guys

I thought I would start a new thread about this as I wanted to pat everyone on the back for the ideas with helping the club reduce the debt.

Through a few different people in the 'Getting rid of the $4.5 million dollar debt' thread (mainly 45hotgod and Cards13) I put the proposal for a 'dual MFC membership concept with the giving away the entry ticket to someone less fortunate' to the club as my company could have also assisted in helping the club.

Well I received an email from Fiona McMahon (MFC membership manager thanks Rogue) who said the board loved the idea and they will be trying to introduce it for next season. The AFL didn't want to use an external company but have stated that ticketmaster have the ability to do it with their software and the club is contracted to the AFL's members service who believe they can delivery the concept.

Although it is just the beginning and the club will be workshopping it over the next 3 montsh I thought a congrats to demonland as this maybe a great thing for the club....

p.s now we have to get on board :rolleyes:

    That's excellent.

    A shame they're not going with your implementation, though :)

    PS. Don't mention it.

    The hard part is getting ticketmaster to release the tickets once that happens I can't see membership services wanting to do the extra work so you never know I might still be able to help ;)

    Good to hear WM. Disappointing your concept at this moment can't be part of it but would be so stoked to see this implemented, it would be such a good way for us as a club and community to give something back. It would be good if we had game day ambassadors who could maybe give tours of the ground and some of our history to these groups (refugee groups) to make them really feel a part of it and hopefully go on to support the club.

    Now we need some more ideas around reducing the $$ debt, buying the extra memberships and using them to advantage is great but some other strategic ideas are still needed.

    I'm still really interested one idea that was raised around a pay for preseason camp experience. If it can be slotted into the preseason to fit with the coaching staffs approval, I think it could make some decent $$.

    Or

    The game day in the life experience, $$ to experience the game day of an AFL player. Sort of follow one of the boys around as they prepare for the game...

    Anything that allows the fans to get a closer experience of what they go through. I think they will be good earners

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
