Scarves binned - not a good look

Featured Replies

Posted

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.

WTF send some up my way!

What a disgrace..

 

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.

Another missed opportunity MFC

 

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.

Or just order less...

They tried to give them to charity but they said they weren't that desperate.

boom.....tish !!!!

Should did a little deeper. There might be some blazers under there.

Smothering Cam Schwab.

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!!!!

Yeh, right, all of 9 posts, and your bin diving for a friend.

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.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
