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.

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?

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.

Not bad...

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

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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
