FIRST & FOREVER

[Choko 493]

Take my money, break my heart, then sh*t on my head.

Re-signed.

LOL.

If you don't make that your signature, I will be gutted. It's basically your demonland life slogan, right there!

[Weedster 174]

First and Forever? Wow, that makes you want to run through brick walls to go and renew.

A soft, uninspiring slogan.

I like it. We were first ! Time to start acting like it

We were first, correct, about 150+ years ago. I'm wanting to know what we are doing in 2013, and am looking for something other than our history to show me that the expectation of the entire Club has been lifted, not just the playing group.

We are now currently debt-free, and have been for about 2 years (IIRC). That's great, but now I want to go from being debt free to being a Club that is very well off financially, and striving to be one of the richer ones in the league. It can happen, just like our team can improve, it's going to take great, strong people to drive it. Just like it's going to take great strong coaches to put things in place that are non-negotiables, as well as great, strong players to do it. After the past 5+ years, it could be argued that it's a lot longer, we're going to need great, strong supporters to smash through that 40k member level, and in the near future be looking at 50k+.

You need a pretty slogan to make you want to renew?

[thaipantsman 180]

signed up for 2013 membership today, and choose the Dedicated Demon option where my membership will roll over 'Forever'

Get on board!

Same for me and an extra membership for my Son. There's no other way!! While I'm openly far from convinced Neeld is the right thing for Melbourne I'll always be Melbourne.

If I did need a pretty slogan to make me renew, I would've already signed up as soon as I saw this one.

I want one with a bit of c**t about it, one that other teams look at and hate. One that puts our supporters in a position where they HAVE to sign up. One that puts a public expectation on our players, and the Club as a whole.

"100% Buy In" is something like that. "No More Excuses" is something like that. It shows a Club is united and going forward together. "First and Forever" is neither here nor there for me. When you are in a position like us, trying to lift ourselves off the canvas and make a statement, it has to come from all aspects of the Club. Perhaps "100% Deesire, 100% Deetermination, 100% Uncondeetional" (as I said, I'm not a marketing expert!).

While our tradition is something that other Club's don't have, we are at a stage where 2013 is basically our "first" season (of a new era). We've be down for so long, we've cleaned out the list, the coach will have the players that he wants, 2013 is when it starts. If we don't pull our finger out, the "Forever" part of our membership drive will be irrelevant.

Yeah all these tough guy slogans did wonders for Carlton

I honestly think if people are swayed as to whether to sign up or not based upon a few pointless marketing words, they're not worth having as supporters

Ok V12, let's say you're a new resident to Casey, looking for a team to support and buy a membership with. You hear people talk about the great work the MFC does in the area. You look at the ladder, see where we are, probably turns you against us, but you look at the Club's website for more inspiration to join. You look at the membership packages and it's "First and Forever" that you see. What does that mean to a potential new member? We finished rock bottom in 2012, and that's the best we can come up with for 2013?

I, like most, will not let a marketing campaign determine if I'm going to renew. That doesn't mean I can't give the marketing department a spray if I feel worthy, and guess what, I do feel that way.

The only part of the campaign that ticks the box for me is the "Remember first - to play each game as if it were your last".

I demand improvement in 2013. I assume that the coach is the same. A membership campaign isn't going to do that, but it can show where the Club is at with their expectation of player and supporter.

An alternative slogan for the Jaded Demon in us all.

Re-signed. My level of buy-in cannot be questioned.

[rpfc 27,591]

Billy, what about:

MFC - Go F___ Yourself

Demons - Everyone else CGAGF!

I'm Ricky Bobby, if you don't support the Demons, then F___ You.

[GolfBoyPro 43]

I have re-signed!!! Sucker for punishment, but ya just not part of it unless your financial...

In the survey i made the suggestion that the fans should get to choose a draft pick... possibly stupid, but would be a massive promo for club and doubt we could that much worse than some of our previous recruitments... Members get to vote....

Really RP? I mean, REEEEEEALLY?

Oh dear. Thanks for confirming what most already knew in regards to your distrubingly low intellect.

[syl 40]

On for another year amongst the toffs in Legends - here's to hoping we don't make [censored] of ourselves all of 2013.

Oh, god.

Did I offend Billy?

They are jokes - I do like Will Ferrell movies more than most.

Why don't we chalk this one up to rpfc being off the mark, and Billy being a total chore.

rpfc please stop talking about yourself in the third person it is not a good look

I have trouble writing 'me' - don't like it for some reason...

Back on topic - I think that you go through a new motto/motif/whatever every year and I think it is something positive about the past that we all take for granted - we were the first - and something that seemingly none of us will take for granted - that the MFC will be around well after we are all dead.

[wattsup 470]

im trying to re-sign but i forgot my password for my account im trying to get it to re set but i never get the email sent to me tried about 50 times bloody annoying

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

I re-signed me and my kids. Not that slogan's matter to me but we could have gotten a picture of Ivan Drago from Rocky 3 and put Jack Viney's head on him with the quote "I must break you" underneath.

[Jonesbag 487]

Shake and bake baby!!!!

I like to think of Jesus as a CHF in a Demon jumper taking a strong grab 30m out straight in front. He's got long hair that glistens and I am 20 rows back in the pocket - hammered drunk.

I remember Essendon, and that victory was a sweet as the cream pie for which the team is named

[Deers 202]

I like it. We were first !

Good for you! Guess where we are now? Last.

What is wrong with "Through and Through"? It touches on history (nod to Schwab) but also sends out a call to arms. It acknowledges the hard times we've faced in the last half-decade but reminds members of the club's will to push on. With the passion that rages through us, we will see it through. Et cetera, et cetera.
