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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
