Pledge per win 2015

Has anyone made a pledge to the club? Personally I think it is a ridiculous way to raise money, our 4 wins in 2014 would of just covered the cost to set up the idea and pay for advertising.

    I did it last year- obviously didn't have to hand over a stack of money.

    Didn't mind at all; after each win I was in such a good mood they could have taken 1000 and I wouldn't have cared.

    Would it be something you would do again, or just a one off thing?

    Personally I think it's ridiculous trying to degrade the names of international AFL players.

    I would have thought being loyal to a bottom team for over 8 years would have be enough of a pledge?!

    We've all pledged our sanity, I would have thought that's enough.

    Every club has their little cash grabs.

    Geelong and some other clubs I believe used to ask members to pay before the season started to enter the pool for grand final tickets.

    The club has nothing to lose by asking.

    Don't like the idea at all. It is based on the premise that the players need extra incentives in order to win.

    If that's the case we're stuffed.

    Huh? I think you took a wrong turn on that logic journey...

    It's based on the desire to make money out of people who will literally pay to see us win a few games. I would pay to see us win a game, repeat it 12 times a season and play more than 22 games a season.

    So why don't we support a team like Hawthorn, their supporters get to watch the team win for free....whoever thought of this idea should be ashamed of themselves and the I feel sorry for the people who have supported this idea, sure their hearts are in the right place, but it's a poor way to raise money.

    I think that MFC fans can leave their righteous indignation of money making practices to when we are a little more settled financially and on field.

    We are bankrolled at the moment by pokies.

    The moral adjustments my mind has to make are quite gymnastic when it comes to the MFC.

    I did it last year.

    It cost me cheap bottle of Red.

    I probably will go again.

    It may cost me a half doz. ( I wish)

    Nothing new used to do it in ND was coaching was not a issue back then, when we used to win 12 games a year, nothing wrong with it not as if the clubs got a gun to your head, don't know what you all want the club to do get rid of pokies, and just rely on memberships, it's funny most of the posters on thin site, I hate wingers no matter what the club does thy pot them, hawthorn have over 60000 members but they sell more games then anyone in history and make the most out of pokies, they say they are a family club but do nothing in the community, every thing the Dees get potted on no one says a thing about the evils of hawthorn, hawthorn have been given everything for nothing, all started in the days of zoning when parts of our zone was given to hawthorn, then they got given Waverly for nothing, they get lots of foot traffic at the shopping centre, they never earned anything just given to them.

    Take a breath, mate. And I am not saying get rid of them, I just don't like them - I wish the club didn't need them.

    The only way I'll pledge per win.. Is if that "win" is in a Grand Final!

  • Quote

    Signed up for $10 a win. I don't mind;it gives me joy.

    Sounds good. I can afford $50.

  • Quote

    Should be the other way round for us.

    Everytime we lose we get our money back.

    It is a donation to the club since winning is what the side is paid to do anyway.

    That said, I signed up on day 1 and hope it costs me a packet, though somehow, like last year, I may get out of this deal cheaply.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
