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!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
