Wondering how you can give the MFC a boost up?

Our volunteer group has grown dramatically out of the club's adversity of recent. Records are being broken

So, the club has poised the idea of our group selling their raffle tickets.
However volunteers have concerns (me too) & we DONT want to mess with our great results of membership ... so WONT be proceeding down the raffle path at this time.

HOWEVER we are in next Monday & Tuesday 5.30 - 8pm & any generous supporter, or group of well intended souls, are invited to ring in their ticket purchase during our campaign.

IE If you are considering a ticket buy, call on those nights & ask for a volunteer.
Dial 1300 DEMONS, ask for that volunteer, & boost up our Mon/Tuesday efforts.

Prize is an Opel Astra or $40.000 cash in a limited raffle with tickets at $200. Details on the clubs website - consider putting a "smile on the dial" of a hard working volunteer.

Can I just ask if there's a reason why lower priced raffles aren't run? With smaller prizes like signed footys etc. The first time I got a phone call about buying a raffle ticket (I was a student at the time) and they told me it was $200, I nearly had a heart attack. If there were $10-50 tickets (and maybe a way of doing it over the internet) i'd be much more inclined to enter a few each year.

Cant answer that one Rhaz. I guess the club does what the club does. Staff will read this.

They have been running this raffle for many years so I guess it works.

The volunteers ultimate objective is to strengthen the club, hence supporting this particular raffle.

Per chance you can group with other supporters this might be a way to contribute.

If not ,Tx for at least reading.

 

Nineteen I just want to thank you for the work you do for the club and bringing a part of it to Demonland. I wish I was in a position to help the club the way you do, and because I can't I am very thankful for the people like you who do.

Cheers.

Agree 200 bucks is a membership ticket.


Hello, Nineteen is working on this, he is just trying to drum up interest, I suggested to the Club to try the syndicate approach, still think we will get single customers, but if 10 people kick in 20, if you win it is 4000 so not a bad return......Dudleys raffle is the 'cheaper' one on game day....trying to convince 10 where I work, got three at the moment

I get sucked in everytime I get a call for those damn expensive tickets! That cheerful kiwi lady who calls knows how to twist my rubber arm! somehow she is able to convince me that 3 for $500 is money well spent

Having said that if i was to get a call about a $200 ticket after the last 3 weeks i'd politley decline!

You're an impulse buyer and you know when there's a good deal. ie. 3 for $500. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

A bit of kiwi charm and you're like bees to honey.

C,mom DemonWA. See you are a serious contributor & we need volunter motivation here!

Out of the adversity that is gaulling you we have found a big number of fresh volunteers, who need motivation to stay the distance.

If u r going to buy plse call Monday night. Pete ot Steve would love to 'handle your package'.

The $40.000 would be good for a September holiday too. Tx either way.

Amendment to the above is that the staff need to handle ticket sales.

Accordingly the change is that tickets would be bought office hours on 1300 DEMONS.

A mention that the purchase is in support of the volunteers would be appreciated.

** I have created some impression that volunteers might asked to sell raffle tickets. NOT going to happen

See U Monday night!!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
