Is that based on another month of debt demolition or based on a bumper year in terms of profit? Do you think the club will continue it as an annual event?

It's based on next year's Debt Demolition month - with any luck we'll have less than $1M to demolish, which should be a motivator.

I think the Club will continue Debt Demolition month as long as there's a debt to demolish.

What about another initiative after the debt is demolished: -

ie. Surplus Survival ;)

Just wanted to push this very important thread back up to the top of the board to remind those who are in a position to donate who have not yet made a contribution to do so ASAP! Let's get rid of this proverbial concrete block around the club's legs! Remember, you can do a regular monthly credit card payment if a one-off contribution isn't to your liking!

Just set up my monthly payment of $50 for the next 12 months. Must admit, I wasn't huuuuugely impressed with the customer service representive. Could have been a little more enthusiastic <_<

Thats a fantastic pledge mate!

Well done!!

Yeah, nice work mate.

Sometimes working in those sorta jobs you get numbed to the figures involved and the personal cost, but that's a significant effort and I'm bloody impressed. ;)

I'm trying to build the strength to do that again myself. Didn't sting too much last time, but mind you, I still haven't paid off the credit card it came off.

Yeah I guess so, but I am thinking the MFC Membership Department is hardly run off its feet at the best of times - not sure what she'd be doing apart from sitting around and answering a phone call every now and then. Thought they might also have a pre-formulated response like "Thank you very much for contributing to the Club's survival" or something. All I got was a "I'll process that for you today. Goodbye".

Ah well..in the end it's not about the recognition - a few premierships will be thanks enough.

How would you know what is actually happening in the MFC member department at the moment??

If you not happy with the service from the Club why dont you call the club to provide some constructive feedback. Far more usual than criticism on a public forum.

BTW, well done on the pledge to the Club. Very noble. Great stuff

Geez...if that's what is considered "slagging off" these days then some of the posts on here must almost be high treason. I only wanted to relate my experience - I had wondered if others had noticed similar. I don't purport to know what is going on in the Membership Department at the moment, which is exactly why I prefaced the comment with "I am thinking that...". It's an opinion - you know? Mike Sheahan publishes his every day in the Hun? Usually it's wrong. ^_^

Let's not argue about such trivial issues, however. The thread and donation drive is 10000000 times more important.

Mousey, there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that I have made my donation the the debt demolition.

The bad news is that the funds have come out of the "Send Mousey to the 2010 Queen's Birthday Bash Appeal", replenishment strategies now required :mellow:

I didn't see anything wrong with your post - you certainly weren't abusive or over-the-top.

As someone said, I guess in the defence of the rep you can get a bit 'numb' to it or perhaps their dog just died etc.

However, I do agree with you regarding even a scripted thanks response - it's a small thing, sure, but that's what customer service is all about.

I've been employed in a somewhat similar circumstance and whether it's $10 or $250 the response is always the same.

Of the ~$4m raised so far, an incredible amount has been raised by less than 500 people - probably over 75%.

Just shows how influential it can be to have powerful supporters.

Hey, weren't 1957 and 1959 good years? 1958 was a disappointment, but still a good year.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
