Hi All,

Last chance to join the MFC Deevoted Young Members before our marquee Season Launch Event tomorrow night at the Duke of Wellington from 5.30pm!

post-7358-0-39366900-1395740013_thumb.jp

We’re a new supporter group, launched with the club’s support, that gives members the opportunity to collectively sponsor players, win prizes and gain free entry to 4 events with other passionate young supporters and club personnel:

  • Launch Event hosted by Robbo with Jack Watts, Matt Jones and Daniel Nicholson
  • Sunday Pub Drinks at the College Lawn watching interstate game vs GWS
  • Saturday Night Pub Pre-Drinks prior to the MCG game vs Western Bulldogs
  • Business Leaders Networking Event (Date & Venue TBC)

Sign up here: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/the-club/corporate/deevoted-young-members

Or for more info, see the editorial on the club website http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-03-13/young-members-supporter-group-launched

It’s $100 if you sign up with family/friends or $125 by yourself. Pay with cash at the Season Launch.

In exchange, each member receives free entry to our four events throughout the year plus any other informal catch ups we may have spontaneously (eg. if we have a win at the MCG, we’ll immediately text everyone the pub we’re meeting at afterwards to celebrate).

As well as entry to the events, where finger food and limited drinks tab are provided (usually $1000), members also have the opportunity to win over $6000 worth of prizes from the raffles we hold at each event. Here is a list of what we’ll be giving away this year:

  • 1 x Jack Watts Match Worn + Signed Guernsey
  • 2 x Presentation Box with Signed Guernsey + Photo
  • 3 x Lapel Pins + Team Signed Poster
  • 2 x President's Club Function Red Section (x2 Tickets)
  • 2 x MFC Corporate Suite (x2 Tickets)
  • 2 x Business of Sport Luncheon (x2 Tickets)
  • 3 x Player Sponsor Cocktail Function (x2 Tickets)
  • 2 x Best & Fairest Dinner (x2 Tickets)

Total Prizes: 17, Total Value: $6,140

Most members make their membership payment back by winning prizes worth more than their membership, but if you don’t, it’s basically still only $25 per event with free food and drinks catching up with likeminded supporters. Due to the value we’re giving members, we usually don’t even make any additional money to donate back to the club, but are satisfied to break even if it means connecting young members with the club and each other.

Pity about the disappointing result on the weekend but not a bad effort considering only one of our top seven tallest senior players (ruck or key position) were available for selection and able to play out the night (Jake Spencer) after Fitzy was concussed and Tom McDonald was playing on one leg since quarter time.

I know that it was a heart breaking loss for many supporters after all the hope of pre-season but if there’s one time the club needs you the most, it’s not when we’re pushing for finals in a few years, it’s right now when we’re trying to give our players and club every bit of support they need to get to where we both want to be in the future.

Look forward to seeing a many of you tomorrow for a light-hearted night of fun with the players!

Go Dees!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
