Hi All,

Just wanted to let you know about a new supporter group the club has got behind for 18-32yr olds to collectively sponsor players, win prizes and attend events with other passionate young supporters and club personnel.

Through player sponsorships, the MFC Deevoted Young Members are entitled to a range of signed merchandise and tickets to gameday functions and social events that will be distributed via raffles at a number of exclusive events throughout the year, with finger food and limited bar tab provided.

The launch event will be held on Wednesday March 12, hosted by Russell Robertson with several MFC personnel in attendance including Jack Watts and Brad Miller. There will be loads of great prizes and giveaways on the night, plenty of fun and interaction with the players including a Q&A and the unveiling of the groups sponsored players for 2014.

The second event takes place on Sunday April 6 where the private back bar and outdoor area at the College Lawn has been reserved to watch the Dees round 3 clash against GWS on big screen TV’s from 12.30pm.

Other events include pre-drinks at a local venue before the Round 8 Saturday night clash at the MCG against the Western Bulldogs, a Business Leaders Networking Event and a number of spontaneous informal catch-ups before or after home games or during away games, ensuring members get the opportunity to meet up regularly and establish relationships with likeminded supporters.

Membership is strictly limited due to the capacity of scheduled events so return your registration form early to avoid disappointment and take advantage of the following Special Introductory Offers, (valid until 7th March):

  • Single Membership $125
  • Double Membership $225 (register with a friend and save $25)
  • 5 x Membership $500 (register with 4 friends and save $125)

With over 30 prizes available to split amongst the group including 2 x tickets to a corporate suite for a Melbourne home game valued at $840 and a Jack Watts’ signed, match-worn Guernsey, there’s an excellent chance to claim a rewarding return on your investment to the club.

If you’re a passionate, young Melbourne supporter interested in being part of our hopeful rise up the ladder in 2014, visit http://www.melbournefc.com.au/the-club/corporate/deevoted-young-members, check out the Facebook webpage https://www.facebook.com/groups/deevoted/ or if you have any questions, feel free to reply on this thread or contact committee member Nick Glen at [email protected] or 0411 034 849.

Oh hell I am just a year too old!

Good work guys I hope we can win a few this year so you get Maximum enjoyment.

May it grow by the thousands so us ancient ones are clearly out numbered.

Don't worry od, they have 'The Ron Barassi Bequest Society' for the likes of you and me (but I'm expecting #13 and 14 at least, before they put me in a red & blue pine box).

I hope you make it Deeoldfart.

I will be satisfied with a strong team that wins more than it losers after the last seven years.

A GF win is a remote dream not impossible but unlike this decade IMO.

Such a great idea !! Organizers should consider events at the bentliegh club for the interstate games..... They could promote this so much more and organize great nights for members to get there and have a feed and a few drinks.

I'm a lonely melb supporter at 34 .... None of my school friends were supporters and haven't managed to strike up any friendships with guys / girls my age .... I'd be keen as mustud joining the young members group. Think there strict on age ?

Plus perhaps that young lass that was working behind the merchandise stand at this years AGM may be involved :) ....

Sounds great as does the dream of being 30 again!! :)

The DEEVOTED YOUNG MEMBERS group was originally established to develop and enhance personal relationships with the future of our membership base by providing younger members with exceptional value that was more affordable for uni students or those in the early stages of their careers.

For those over 32, maybe you’d be interested in joining the Melbourne Business Community, which has a number of sub groups including the recently relaunched MFC Young Professionals..? http://melbournebusinesscommunity.com/groups-view/mfc-young-professionals/

This membership not only gets you access to Young Professionals Annual Events but also the broader Melbourne Business Community events as well, which includes four additional free events, including launch breakfast with Roosy on March 19..

To sign up – go to http://melbournebusinesscommunity.com and click Join Now, making sure you select MFC Young Professionals from the checkout dropdown box provided. For $190 per membership, it’s a great way to catch up with like-minded professionals and support the club..!

Young iPad carrying,beard growing,cider drinking,vinyl collecting,pansexual,ironic t-shirt wearing bastards.

Don't worry about the older members who smell vaguely of urine and port.

Us gen x crew will take care of them and listen to their fake stories from the 50's and '60.

As long as you metros can laugh at your in jokes and ride your low bikes around without us around then that's ok.

Geez Biff. What's got you so riled up? Did a hipster throw a molotov cocktail in your room?

I must agree with you on the hipster deal. Years ago, if you dressed up like this:

:el-hipster.jpg

you were more likely to get arrested for being a kiddy fiddler than being recognized as a fashion plate.

Sounds cool, i fall into that category, although i don't live in Melbourne i live in Geetroit City (Geelong).
I go to every Melbourne (Victorian) game already but this could be something else i consider.
Although i already rub shoulders with many "likened" supporters on D'land, and by rubbing shoulders i mean arguing with you bunch of old farts that reside on here.
And i wouldn't change that for the world!

    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.
