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].

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
