The Age susbscription offer for mfc members

Featured Replies

Posted

I just got an email offering a friday to monday (inclusive) subscription to the age for 52 weeks for $25, only available to melbourne members. $15 from each subscription goes to the club!

So i just paid $10 plus a $15 donation to the club for a years worth of the age (delivered).

A pretty sweet deal me thinks! (even if the age is not what it used to be!)

Great initiative from the club to offer a really good incentive for new members and rewards for existing ones like myself.

 

It is a fantastic initiative.

If you have any issues with it, not that you should, contact your local newsagent as that's who it goes through now

It is a great deal, but if you have the trouble I had at the start, you have to wonder if it is worth it. It took me nearly a month to get a paper delivered - several phone calls to the Age call centre, including one where I was on hold for over twenty minutes because they were in the midst of 'upgrading their system'. Finally someone 'fixed' the problem - after I had decided that the $25 was gone and I didn't need the drama of trying to get a paper!

Hopefully they have all the bugs ironed out now and no-one else has to go through the drama just to get a newspaper. It would have been easier if I had just sent the $15 to the club and thrown the $10 in the bin!

 

But you started getting your papers delivered?

Oh yeah, finally. Of course since then there have been two papers not delivered, and one I found on the nature strip, (which might explain what happened to my missing papers - some early morning walker/jogger got a freebie perhaps) and I really can't be bothered chasing up the missing papers (considering I only paid $25 for the year, each phone call costs more than the paper I would be chasing), but it's annoying anyway.

Anyway, hopefully the difficulties I had were just a one off and everyone else gets theirs ok.


Would be great if there was a similar offer for interstate members, obviously with a higher price, but I'd love to get The Age delivered here in Adelaide through MFC, would pay $50 or $75 or $100 for a year's worth of The Age with some going to the club no worries.

You can. Just give the club $100 donation, and then organize through your agent to get Melbourne papers delivered. :lol:

If some of your papers aren't being delivered call the Age call centre, they add the missing papers onto the end of your subscription - if you're missing two papers, you will get 2 additional papers at week 53 rather than it ending at week 52.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
