MFC Young Members Season Launch Tomorrow Night!! (Wed 26-Mar)

[Behind The Goals 49]

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!

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!
