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.

Bit of topic there mate, msg me if you like.

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.

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
