Membership idea

Featured Replies

Posted

I read with interest a few years ago NHL hockey teams having their players hand deliver season tickets.

I thought this would be a great idea to incorporate with us. Perhaps the longest continual member or newest would have a player drop off the passes.

I would suggest after one visit they would be Dees for life. This would secure our next generation of supporters and provide us with some good news stories.

Thoughts?

 

40,000 member is alot to personally hand out. with about 40 players on our list thats 1000 each.

Would take each player a good few weeks to hand out 1000 memberships each. If they can manage 50 a day it ll take our whole list 3 weeks to pass these out.

I would prefer them to spend the 3 weeks running laps and pumping weights to be honest.

 

great idea but maybe limit it to members of over 20 years of continuous membership, then every decade of membership as a celebration.

You could even use retired stars for it.

I was only meaning a select few. Maybe 100 all up. Roughly 2 per player. The impact on a kid would be worth it's weight in gold.

Maybe they can run to each place.....kill two birds with one stone.....

Yes, and form a relay for those of us living interstate or in country Victoria.

I have a membership idea.... We should start winning games, maybe even a premiership, then we'd get heaps of members on board.

Like the Roos did from their success in the 90s???

We can't win games in the preseason but we can win the hearts and minds of the kids.

Good, make them run to deliver the preseason booked memberships. Pre Xmas only.

Each could have they're suburbs to deliver to.


Good on you for thinking of innovative membership promos?

I think with a few qualifiers eg: focus on kids memberships or new members or x number of years service, so it not too onerous would be a great idea. And yes you could make it a bit of pr value for the club.

Good suggestion and one that should be filtered through to the club. Not sure how though?

Does anyone form the club actually read this web site?

Maybe you should bring it up to the board at there next meeting?

Schwabby did but I would think he would've been well and truly put off by now.

It might be a worth while exercise for the established players to deliver memberships in person to NEW members. But even then it might prove to be too much.

The midfield could probably cover more suburbs......

Don't mind it...how I'd do it.

- Make it the 10 most popular players for the kids. Howe, Clark, Jones, Trengove, Grimes, Watts, Frawley, Davey. Blease would be a contender, so would Rivers probably. Two or three each for a kid in the 6-9 age range - they're just old enough to truly get what footy is. You have to put an age if you're signing up the kids yes parents among us? This will change as the 'popular' players change.

- For the reward ones, make it a legend, but a relevant one initially to your initial signup. For a ten-year of today it could be Robbo, for example, or Ox. 20-year could be Lyon, 30-year could be Robbie...that sort of thing. Then you can swing things around, but the older legends won't do ones for guys who weren't signed up when they were playing - means that they don't do as many long-term (being older and all that).

Do they still do the Dob in a demon? If so I'm going to dob in Wojo from Geelong and Jack Viney can personally drop off his membership to him and drop off a couple of right hooks on the way out.

Good Idea only if they deliver the mail by foot to keep their fitness up to speed.

Yep -_- And that could be a bout 13 of the starting 18 who also need more miles.

Not bad...

and also it could be that players from they're 'home region' could deliver there.

Did he?

What was his alias.

3 more years.

Might shoot the email through to the club tomorrow.

Sweet, might get Luke Tapscott knocking at my door soon with a golden membership.

All do respect I do under stand what your saying, MFC don't go far enough to get new members.

Look at the Hawks last season they had a comp on where if you get the golden membership you win something. Or some [censored] like that.

What did we get, a stupid video at Christmas time from all the players on the web site singing all I want for Christmas it 40000 members.

Wow that got me signing up quick smart

Wow.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
