I normally don't post articles from the official site verbatim but I thought that this was a special case:

from http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-03-01/help-find-imogens-guernsey

YOUNG Demon supporter, Imogen had spent the majority of her childhood ensuring her guernsey was covered in the signatures of every Melbourne player that she came in to contact with.

After years of hard work, Imogens size 10 guersney with #4 on the back and old sponsors was unfortunately mistaken for someone elses at the Webjet signing station at Family Day.

Imogen is currently in possession of someone elses guernsey that also had #4 on the back but is a size 12 with the current Opel and Webjet sponsor logos. As any Melbourne supporter can relate, Imogens guernsey full of signatures is very precious to her and shes desperate to get it back.

The Club is calling on all members and supporters who attended Family Day to help reunite Imogen with her guernsey.

If you can help find Imogens original guernsey, please e-mail [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> or call (03) 9652 1111 - See more at: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-03-01/help-find-imogens-guernsey#sthash.Oj7xIdnf.dpuf

If it can't be found I vote the club gives her a brand new one with the entire list signed and throw in a couple of legends like Gary and Ox, and present it to her on the ground round 1.

Maybe call the club and strongly suggest it, even if she does find it :) . great PR for all.

Maybe as many as possible tweet @MelbourneFC with Pates' suggestion?

I just tweeted with a link to Pates' post... would be nice to start the season with a feel good story.

Just did that then, not a huge Twitter person but I reckon it could be good PR.

Oh yeah because the club hasn't done enough already.

What about all the other kids who didn't lose their jumper, what do they get?

What about them?

Would be happy for the club to replace it if it isn't given back.

You think we have passionate young Dees fans coming out of our arses?

Years ago Ricky P took my missus jumper after a game for Robbo to sign. He said he would get it back to us and nothing. Tried to contact the club but couldn't get anywhere.

How is it that selfishness has penetrated our great land, & our great egalitarian culture?

Maybe the person organising the signing of the jumpers, gave the wrong jumper back to the wrong people.

I received a response from MFC who tweeted to me the following:

"we've offered to replace Imogen's guernsey with all her signatures but she'd prefer to get her original back if possible."

Yeah I saw that after I tweeted to them, no doubt it's just not the same. It's your top and you get attached to the effort gone into getting the signatures. Good on the club for already offering, would make the kid feel cared about.

Master you've clearly got to learn what good PR is, if you treat fans (particularly young ones) badly at best they will stick with you. You go the extra mile and they go around talking up the club and encourage others to join them.

I am just impressed that we have a "YOUNG" Demon supporter. I am glad to see that the Demonland supporters are nuturing her.

Yeah him. The team was walking the boundary after a (rare) win and he said he get robbo to sign it and told her to ring the club the next day or something like that. And we rang and nobody knew anything about it

That just goes to show how the club was back then pre 2007ish.

No one apparently willing to go the extra yard to help our supporters with they're heartfelt dreams.

not good enough back then, & a big fail looking after the supporter base.

I have a feeling, things are a lot better in the office admin these days.

I ask what is the game about then if it isn't built on peoples dreams?

They mayty as well have spat in her

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
