Hi,

does anyone if the club makes much more out of merchandise sold at the demon shop in the MCG compared to merchandise sold at other outlets

I am feeling all warm and fuzzy after hearing about last nights dinner and want to load up on new demons gear

    My understanding is that in terms of actual merchandising revenue, they don't get any more as merchandising is controlled by the AFL, but the profit margins go in to the club's coffers (rather than in to the coffers of K-mart or whoever else).

    I could be wrong about the specifics of how that works, but either way, buying merchandise from the MCG shop is definitely better for the club than buying it from anywhere else.

    Buy it from the MELBOURNEfc shop.

    Thats supporting the club I believe. Its easy to access and has some real good specials at the moment. Merchandise featuring this seasons logo is really cheap. I think the current match jerseys are only $60. Compared to the normal $110.

    I always go to the Melbourne shop, as said so they get the profit not k-mart or some other crappy place.

    Buy from the Shop. Always.

    A must-get is the DVD It's A Grand Old Flag - it has all the video clips plus hero interviews from the 150 Heroes Dinner and is outstanding viewing. It's a sensational packaged history of the club that contains some very rare footage of our most famous moments - the segments on Robbie Flower and Ron Barassi are outstanding. You can also get the book The Red Fox from the shop - it's a brilliant book on our club's, and the game's, greatest coach.

    Buy a set for yourself and don't forget Father's Day is next month.

    Does this include the online shop on melbournefc.com.au, or do you have to actually go in store?

    I want to buy up too.

    The online shop is the same. Every cent you spend at the online or actual megastore helps.

    There's also an e-mail address: [email protected]

    The It's A Grand Old Flag DVD is priced at $30 and runs for 80 mins.

    Dashed down during lunch (glorious day for it) and picked up 150$ worth.

    Cuff links should go down well for Fathers Day.

    Any thoughts people have on whether they'd get there more often if there was a Demons outlet in the city?

    Do you think less full-on supporters might be more inclined to drop in?

    It's a bit of a hike a the moment, I think.

    I will join in with your bring back the beanie campaign rusty... in fact I bought a beanie a couple of weeks ago from the Vic Markets, complete with red pom pom. If I make it to friday night's game I will be wearing it for sure.

    :D

    That's what I mean - I went there with my girlfriend to get some stuff in the end of year sale, when I came down for round 22 last year. Long story short, at first she thought it was some kind of joke when we struck off from Richmond station to nowhere in particular, then she was starting to think I was taking her to a dark alley to strangle her by the time we got down to the street-level underbelly of the 'G.

    I'd been there before a number of times, but even I was starting to feel like I was somewhere I shouldn't be by the time we passed the loading dock with the garbage trucks.

    And inside, totally silent, as anywhere would be under 1000 tons of concrete and steel.

    I personally hate that it's stuck under there. Can you tell?

    Anyone else remember this?

    We should've tried to get a spot inside the new stadium inside the ground. If we opened it there on game day, especially if it was near the MCC area, we'd get a much better response to it.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
