Management has gone to great expense.

Also employed the director from the cricket world cup in south africa.

I dont mind it

But nothing will make up for winning games or in this case not winning them.

Play well in the practise matches and then Win the first two games of 2015 that will get things moving.

No doubt OD, but what is the purpose of any promo? At the end of the day, we are pretty much rusted on here. Maybe it's my Mondayitis or the wounds of the last 8 or so years still being so raw, but it feels desolate and solitary to me. We need to feel part of a groundswell of support and to me this just doesn't do it. I can't remember who it was that posted a great and inspiring MFC montage, set to the tune I and Love and You. I still watch it from time to time just to lift my spirits. Just shows what can be done to inspire . I understand you could not use that video in its entirety and copyright might be an impediment, but I reckon we could have done better.

It's apt. From 0:50 is me about an hour after the latest MFC game - the expression on the guys face at 1:04 is spot on.

Edit: a smile or some excitement from the actor would have been nice...

I liked it and agree it's hard to put players in it when we don't know who Have be on the list come round 1.

I'm sure there will be more promo videos come out once the list is final.

Living In the bush and already being a MCC member I admit I was a bit tight the last two years but just paid the MCC last week and ticked the extra $$ box to sign up as a Dees member as well.

Could have been a bit more upbeat with some players in there but they went with the tactic of making it about the supporter rather than the club - probably a smart move so close to the end of a poor finishing season.

In the end at least it isn't down right embarrassing (you're beautiful).

I've been doing some more thinking on this and I think I have the answer to our membership woes: Hipsters.

Think about it. Market MFC memberships to all those hipsters so they can support us ironically. Then if we actually become good, they can show off to all their friends and say they were MFC members "before it was cool."

Just think about the hipster-centric slogans!

"I have an MFC membership, you probably don't even know what that is."

"I was an MFC member before the posers signed up."

"My favourite player is Neville Jetta. You probably never heard of him."

"Nathan Jones should be AA, but we're the only ones smart enough to notice."

of course...its about the Vibe !!

I thought it was great. Showing some footage of players doing exciting things would just be lying. We are still a terrible side that only ceased being terrible 3 weeks ago. A video making us look like a gun side would just stimulate my cynical side. That video inspired a sense of 'closing ranks' with the club and other supporters. I'm sure it won't be the only membership video to be released over the next 6 months.

How Melbourne are you in 2015 ?

What are they actually asking ...... Are you just as fed up, just as disillusioned , just as depressed, just as unimpressed with our rise up the ladder ??

If you're all of that then you're probably pretty well a definite Melbourne supporter....so you're going to be pretty Melbourne in 2015 Id reckon.

As some sort of prompting or encouragement to be a member, I'm not sure it either 1) communicates this particularly well and/or 2) inspires one to be such.

The focus in the ad, the guy, already has a Demons cap, backpack and a sense of the club. Id say he was the 'already converted" type.

The ad doesn't do much for me...maybe just me.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
