Supporter Alliance - Sponsorship

Straight Sets Simon
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

If that's the way that people believe that we should go, I think those who are interested in setting up the trust should meet up after a game and work out the logistics of how it would work.

I'd suggest at a minimum we'd need to set up a bank account, a website and the actual trust deed.

We'd also need to appoint people to manage the trust and work out the terms of the trust.

It's a lot of work to set up the organisation, but if we've got a number of people who are willing to share the load, it's definitely doable and could generate some great publicity for the club and help get Melbourne fans more engaged and involved in the club.

    Step 1: Get the cash

    Step 2: Casino

    Step 3: put it all on black

    Please note that Voldermort's dad will be in the food court so at a stab all food and drink's will be sold out.

    Let's not get too complex. I think the easiest way is to set up a site through the club and have donations (with a tally board) under the banner of "Supporter Aliance" (or whatever it gets called). Depending on feedback from the club, maybe we should set a target figure to reach, even if we don't reach that amount the club still has that money as a donation at the very least.

    This keeps the whole process clean and simple.

    Do we have to set up the site?

    If we do I can offer free hosting for EVER. If we dont have a web designer in our midst I could get something going.

    If we need to buy a domain name I'm happy to donate that for free. ie mfcsupporteraliance.com

    If we need SEO I will have it splashed all over the net within a week or two. I can also handle the social media from a set-up basis.

    All sounds good. Give me the Easter weekend to suss a few things out and then hopefully get in contact with the club and get feedback.

    No problems - just let me know.

    If anyone can think of a better name or even a logo (anyone with Photoshop skills) please feel free to share. I want this to be about the supporters as much as possible so the more input the better.

    Well done CB. I'm in, but it needs to be named and 'branded' as a NEW proud supporter alliance in recognition of the stance for integrity taken by the MFC. If it got media attention, which would require a spokesperson, and preferably someone with some profile from our celebrity supporter list (e.g. Hamish Blake, Russell Howcroft......), then it would make the club more attractive for potential sponsors. A way to use this disaster to strengthen the profile of the club as one of uncompromising values beyond football.

    Before Jimmy gave us the benefit of his credibility when he took up the Presidency, it was constantly bandied around that we stood for nothing......well out of this mess, and Jimmy's legacy, we could have our 'brand' right here........ and who wouldn't want to be associated with that?

    No, it wasn't.

    And I wish the club had a Support Alliance Donation Tally on the website to show how much we give beside our membership dues.

    Yes many of us give beyond our membership dues. I think this "Supporter Alliance Donation Tally (SAD Tally)" is an excellent idea. Might need to change the title - though seems fitting given the current context!

    The footy dept may be a good area to bolster right now.

    The Demons insist they will not have to ask the AFL for top-up funding as a result of axing its cornerstone $6million sponsorship deal.

    McLardy said the Demons were ‘‘loath’’ to cut football spending, though this has not been ruled out. The club still hoped to reach its budgeted ‘‘small profit’’ this year and had already activated ‘‘contingency plans’’ to deal with the enormous loss of revenue.

    ‘‘We don’t want to go into a debt again and we’d be certainly working hard not to do that,’’ McLardy said.

    Seems Greg Denham is trying to torpedo this idea on SEN this morning.

    All the more reason for me to get behind it, what an arrogant [censored].

  • Quote

    What did he say?

    He was rambling on about Mitch Clark being the highest paid player at the club and then he made an off handed comment that he didn't know why suppporters would want to put money in trying to link the 2. Yep, I know it is a 2 + 2 = 8 argument that doesn't stack up. Then he mentioned Leigh Mathews name to justify what he was saying. I think Leigh might be back tracking a bit after Hudson was subbed off last night.

    I really think there is a big issue with Greg Denham and Cam Schwab so he sinks the boot whenever he can.

    I'm loving this idea, and count me in for a donation!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
