Little Devil Membership

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I don't post very often any more but anything to do with my little man brings me out.

Demon_jacob received his little demon membership last night. Well done MFC, he loves it!! He had the beanie (or as he calls it, meanie) on first thing this morning, and even wanted the scarf too. The mini scarf is a great idea.

He's not 2yo yet but his membership says 3 years membership. Not a bad effort. Might even have to attend his first game next year.

Keep up the great work membership department.

I'm trying to upload a picture. Anyone know why its not working?

The Mini Scarf is great, my daughter ran up to her Nana who is trying to convert her to the Kangaroos wearing the Scarf and put it around her neck. It was like holy water on a vampire.

I take it 'Nana' is your mother in law ;)

I am a MFC "tragic" living in Adelaide (and am making my first post). I have a 3yo son, who was signed up on the day of his birth as a MFC and a Norwood FC member by me, and an Adelaide FC member by his grandfather. My son happened to be in a humidicrib at the time. My wife questioned my priorities but I'm sure that all Forum members would agree that I was right. I do not want to "impose" the Demons on my son living in Adelaide. I hope that he makes the right choice between the Demons and Crows (Port not being an option compatible with life in our household).

Anyway, I was about to "blast" MFC for not supporting and encouraging their junior members. The Crows sent a parcel with a football, a trucker cap, an iPod "sock" and other stuff within 2-3 days of paying his membership this year. Nothing had arrived from MFC. I could see that I was losing the battle. Then, two nights ago, a parcel arrived from MFC containing a soft footy, a high-quality cap, a calendar, stickers and other stuff. My son was over-joyed. The MFC parcel easily "beat" the Crows offering.

Despite the MFC's financial situation, I believe that we must "break even" or even make a small loss on our junior memberships by offering these sorts of enducements. We must win the "hearts and minds" of the next generation of "tragics" that will hopefully include my son. I am perhaps in the ideal position to view what a wealthy club like the Crows can offer. Well done to the MFC administration for competing (and winning) on this year's junior membership package! Apart from a premiership, I think that it is probably the most important "competition" in which MFC is invloved.

Thanks for the good news story Norwood Redleg. I'm not sure what profit / loss the club is making on the "little devil" membership but one thing it does do is illustrate to the AFL that there is a new generation of supporter coming through.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
