Scarves binned - not a good look

A friend was working at the MCG last week and came across a dumpster full of 2014 MFC membership scarves. Surely they could have been given away to a charity/community instead of going to landfill.

I have never been a fan of getting a new scarf every year anyway and have nearly run out of fellow MFC supporters to give them to. A MCG food/drink voucher or a credit to the Demon Shop would be a better idea.

My Essendon supporting friend who sent me the pics was happy to have a dig 'they can't even give them away' etc.

    Disgraceful.

    Why not earn some goodwill and get a few players to hand them out to the homeless on weekends?

    You seriously have to wonder about the people employed in admin.

    We could knit them together and make a throw rug?

    Sorry.

    Throw away line.

    I choose to believe they went to goodwill with them but instead they got an Elaine Benes response, much like with her muffin tops, and she had no choice but to bin them as we don't have a Newman to eat them all.

    Don't Hawthorn have a patch they send out to their members to put on their scarf? Wouldn't that make more sense that a re-design every year?

    They would look great paired with the puffy shirt.

    Someone was asking about Dean Terlich earlier, can anyone check to see if he's under a few of those as well?

    It was always going to be hard to get supporters on board after a decade of mediocrity.

    I don't read a lot into it, we need results, I couldn't care how many scarfs are in the bin or how few supporters are on board.

    Hopefully Roos can bring us results, that is why he is here, I have faith in him, the rest will fall into place when MFC start winning games.

    I'd just like to point out that if we had a million members and ordered a million-and-sixty scarfs, we'd have to throw 60 in the dumpster.

    That's no joke Biff. There was a dlander in the last couple of years who requested them because his missus was making a rug for his kid. Someone else can find the thread

    Would we? What's wrong with:

    A) giving them to the homeless/charity

    B) offering them to volunteers to stitch together, we could do with more red and blue quilts in the crowds come game day

    C) possibly returning them to the manufacturer for rebranding as 2015 scarves or;

    D) at very least throwing them in the bin discreetly enough that we don't get caught!!!!

    Count the boxes though CIP, 100 per box, there must be close to 1000 in there...

    Most likely I would think they are unclaimed by members, not ordered for members who didn't exist, if that makes it a little better. But I still think how they got rid of them was poor.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
