I don't know if anyone has seen the Thank You ad from the MFC. It was on one of the Foxtel channels earlier and I was pretty impressed. It was basically Jimmy telling us all the great things the club has recently achieved and where we hope to go with a thanks to all involved.

Classy and made me proud to have played a (very) small part in the revival of the club.

    Yeh I've seen it a few times now. I love it. It's a great incentive, AGAIN, by Jimmy.

    Classy ad by classy people.

    Thank YOU MFC...

    Been on Foxtel a couple of times yesterday and again tonight. Haven't seen it on mainstream channels though.

    GREAT for the supporters who have supported in all ways.

    Great idea by the club!

    Whilst it only is a little thing, recently, it is the little things that the club has been excelling at.

    I pretty much have only watched sports or politics today so I'm not sure but I have a funny feeling it was on the Sky News channel when I saw it. However I've only seen it the once.

    Great ad. The club should take the opportunitybto put it on the website. Even YouTube. I would myself but I don't have foxtel.

    Fantastic initiative by the Club, and great that we have finally reached a financial position where such things are affordable. Well done Melbourne Football Club. I don't recall ever seing similar (thank you) ads directed at members and supporters of any of the other clubs.

    Maybe one of our Directors - Russel Howcroft from Gruen Transfer had a lot to do with us. I thought is was brilliant. I also agree with the thought of placing it on our website- then that would make it a great communication network with us members and supporters.What do you think-HT.

    I agree it is a good ad and unexpected. It is a novelty to see the club spend money on projects like this after all the money hassles of the past.

    I think it is a good ad created by the club. Just another example of the improvement by the club with regards to communicating to it's members over the last two years. Not just this year ! :)

    This thankyou was enough for me - August 5th. Melbfc website.

    They've publicly thanked every Melbournefc supporter/member. The Fox ad's are another thankyou. I'm content with the amount of thankyou's they have put out.

    Yes excellent initiative - because it doesn't just say thank-you it also promotes the heritage of our club to the general community. I would like to see it shown once or twice on free to air.... as part of general promotion to attract new members and sponsors.Let's maximize the return from the investment in this very professional "advertisement"

    I accept that there will be a point at which the cost is prohibitive - but it would only need to help attract one new sponsor to pay for itself. I'll leave it to the club to do the cost:benefit analysis.

    Two things:

    Surely we can hit up Ian Johnson at HSV 7 for a few no-charge screenings - starting with Friday night footy.

    I love the bit where Jimmy talks about the club's thirteenth premiership. Hawthorn did this in 2004 - talked about the drive to their tenth premiership. To me, talking about our 13th makes it sound tangible and achievable and even inevitable. I'd like to see the club adopt this tone frequently. Plus it also reminds the world we've actually already won more than any but 3 other clubs - something seemingly brushed aside by those who's have us moved or out of the competition.

    Good suggestion. Everything comes at a cost though. The finals series...

    Putting a video on the club website does not "make it a great communication network".

    That doesn't even make sense.

    Further proof you have no clue what you are talking about.

    It was a nice touch and will do our membership drive no harm.

    We're gonna need to keep doing things like this to keep up with Collingwood tactics of handing out Magpies showbags to new Australian residents..

    Saw the add and liked it. Simple and genuine. I thought the mention of a 13th flag was a nice subtle message of the fact that we have 12 flags and a great history without actually drawing on the fact and pumping our tyres up - which wasn't the aim of the add. Well done.

    Does anyone know if it is on youtube anywhere?

    It's now on the front page of the Demons website ... Under 'Demon TV - Jim Stynes thank you'.

    It's now on youtube, for those that are interested.

    Thx KS. Wasn't working on the MFC site for me last time I checked.

    i can assure all demonlanders that when that ad came on during the game on sunday, 100% of the people in the bar i was at paid 100% attention to it...

    ...granted, it was just me and two other demon supporters, plus the barman, who is also a demon supporter, but my facts still hold true.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
