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.

Isn't that what you do to kittens and puppies?

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

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
