Just did mine

Wonder if it was an over sight but no mention of AFL club support in list of memberships listed.

    Yes, I've done mine too and thought "What an odd collection of questions" The membership packages for 2010 are out, so all those questions are for future planning.

    I was annoyed I could only mark ONE favourite player....& they only chose about 5 players in the question on who was essential for future success. It's a team sport & I have more than one favourite!

    Left Valenti (and I assume Buckley, don't remember) in the list of favourite players...

    If you don't have any ideas for new merchandise you should direct the club to Jaded's stuff.

    Did anyone else take the opportunity to add suggestions to the merchandise section?

    I know there's some legal rules in place, but I suggested putting more past games up for sale. I'd pay $40 to the club happily for a DVD of some of our games. I'm thinking of the Freo and Brisbane games last year particularly. To add to the attractiveness, why not throw some special features in the DVD and interview the players about the game and their thoughts going into it, and when it ended. Dare I say, a DVD commentary with a few of them?

    Call me nuts, but I reckon that's a sound idea, would be VERY cost-effective and fun... And I reckon enough people would buy them that it would make something for the club...

    Awesome idea! I'd pay a lot for a DVD copy of those games you've listed there.

    I'd pay $50+ for a copy of these games: '06 elimination final, QB '07, round 10 vs Adelaide '07, round 7 vs Freo '08, round 14 vs Brisbane '08, and all of our wins this year. I haven't got anything to get me through the long summer ahead, so a few of our games on DVD would be fantastic.

    EXACTLY! I'm O/S and missing footy like crazy. Off season is hard enough without even having cricket to watch.

    Those games above are just scratching the surface, too. There's plenty of little ones here and there I'm sure fans would like to get a hold of. For me, going as far back as rounds 1 & 2, 2002, when I fell in love with footy again. I'm sure there's a lot of die-hard fans who have similar memories of specific games. The finals series in 2002 would be a pretty good one too. Along with that of 2000 obviously, which had, for many, the best game some of us have seen an MFC team compete in.

    Stuff it. Give me a camera, a darkened room, a bunch of MFC polos in Large, X-Large and XX-Large (the last one for Neita) and I'D conduct the interviews to be added to the DVDs, burn them, and set up a stall in the MFC store as well as an online shop. Jaded's got me all inspired!!!!!!

    And can you imagine what the money would be like if we actually started winning?

    Of course, the AFL owns the rights, so it's not going to happen so easily. In fact if it WERE this easy, it would be just another way the clubs with larger membership totals could out do us.

    Oh, and BB... PM me if you're interested in getting some games. I might know a good place to go for you online.

    Reckon you could shoot a PM my way DD?

    Name a game has always been ridiculously priced in my eyes - $30+ for a single match is outrageous in my mind.

    The issue seems to be the lack of core supporters to cover the overheads.

    There are some great ideas there, and we should be doing a lot more merchandise wise, but we've got to be careful of managing our overheads.

    Here are some ideas that I'd like to see:

    - More variety of the membership gifts

    - DVDs of the season highlights (well maybe half a DVD anyway), highlights from retired players' careers etc

    - Casual wear

    - Social club memberships/gifts etc

    I'd also like to see the club develop a better online store. Unfortunately, we're constrained by the AFL in terms of websites etc.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
