Thats expensive, how much goes to the Demons?

Posted (edited)

I'll cough up again. Its like throwing $$ into a big black hole with this club. But as long as there is a team named MFC / Demons. I'll keep supporting them.

Paid up for '14. Will keep doing it. Not expecting huge improvements.

Argued with a number of 'landers during the year who claimed they wouldn't renew or attend any more games until we won more games. Don't agree.

I'm gonna wait as long as it takes to decide keeping the pressure on both the AFL to maximise their support to us, & on us, the Dees, as well, to get decisions right, including this "Premiership Coach".

dropping numbers at games & memberships has seen the AFL get involved to help, & to make sure necessary changes are made.

Am an MCC member but purchase Redleg membership as well each year. Will renew again next year.

Seems new CEO and president have told it the way it is. Happy that the AFL at this stage are looking over all our appointments as we have messed up for such a long a period of time. Despite all of this I always live in hope.

Yeah I will join later ( like to see the draw first ) even if its to enjoy the stubbie holders they put in the redleg area :rolleyes:

thick as 2 bricks...

some people can never see the causation of getting the AFL on-board to see things are put right, is initiated directly by people Not going to games,,, & not watching on TV,,, & not buying memberships, by way of personal protest.

...but you just go on doing the same old, & retrieving the same old until, yes, you are old... protests work when it hurts the other.

Now we've got their attention, lets see if they, the AFL have the will to see us get a topline coach??? time will tell all.

You post garbage 50 times a day on a Demons forum yet you wont buy a membership, your a tight ass and if everyone thought like you we wouldnt have a club, thank god your the minority.

I thought long and hard about it, because the last few years have been so disgraceful, none of us deserved that. The club has completely disrespected its long suffering supporter base.

But i wish to show support Peter Jackson.

NOW GET PAUL ROOS AS COACH.

Why you little - I need to make one thing clear I do not speak for the club. However, part of D2D's mandate is to bring the supporters and the club closer together. So we hear what you are saying, we 100% appreciate what you are saying.

If possible D2D would love to hear your positive feedback on how you think D2D could win your respect back, without trying to ask us to promise the impossible ie How many games MFC will win. or How the team will perform because that is out of our control. Sadly, nobody can promise coaches because that largely depends on what the individual wants to do.

Again part of our mandate is to give the club as much honest no watered-down feedback as possible. Please this is a genuine attempt to reach out and try and help you.

D2D there is only one way.

Win games That will fix the majority of our problems.

Now it is an easy thing to say and another thing to achieve.

Most Dees members / supporters are used to losing.

What we find hard to take is not being competitive.

For the last two years we have not been even competitive.

There is very little you can do about that problem.

The People who run the MFC have to get the team to a point over the next two years where we are competitive.

Until that happens and we start winning games you are wasting your time talking.

The MFC is now in the position where words mean zero.

Just buckle down for a long hard grind.

IMO you have a thankless job ahead and nothing you can say will change one thing with the average member.

Bloody sad but IMO true

There simply is only one way to regain my respect. That is WINNING ON THE GROUND.

Look at the Cats. They start winning. Everything else rolls.

I love the MFC but i am sick of it being a loser. Finding the easy option and not doing it right.

How 'bout we do the hard yards and learn?? Master the hard way like Smithy & Checker.

Times have changed. But application is no different.

Winning is the only way D2D. A beer is ok too :)

MFC membership is like taxes. You hate paying them but you don't really have a choice.

I reckon I get more for my taxes...just saying :unsure:

that really ought not even be a consideration !!

I can see your line of thought about this, therefore dont take it as a personal attack, as its your money Ralph, you have every right to invest ,spend, waste it on anything of your choosing. But the AFL wont be sweating on Mr dee-luded and Co holding them to ransom.

The AFL will be more intent on bailing out the MFC or any other club, IF it sees 60,000 fans at the G, and their team is under performing, if a team only gets 6.000 per game game, they wont be thinking if they help, the club members will re-sign. It will more likely see it as whats the point, we invest XX amount into this club,and dont get return for our investment.

As hard as it is to watch the garbage played week in week out, we still need members, or non members at games. bums on seats will keep us viable.

Any revenue the club gets, we hope, it uses it wisely to improve the club as a whole.IF we had 50,000 to 60,000 members paid up, we probably wouldnt need the AFL and its blackmail money.

it just rolls over.....a painless charitable donation

Painless u say bb I would say the exact opposite!!!

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
