Another MFC affordable night out.

Where would you like to have it? McDonald's?

It costs what it costs.

It costs what it costs.

I don't eat fast food.

$250 pp is not exactly reaching out to your supporter base. They always bang on about engaging the supporter group but that sort of flat cost excludes the majority.

Maybe they should look at some tables at a cheaper cost for those less affluent supporters.

rge raffle tickets are $200 FFS

I don't mind lashing out. Everything is covered and it's a good vibe.

Gorgoroth's suggestion of a budget option is not a bad idea though. One year I went it was at Melbourne Town Hall and there was a budget ticket which gave entry but no meal, and (possibly) drinks at bar prices. The budget tickets weren't on the main floor, but in the balconies above. It would depend on the venue if it could be done again.

Seriously

It costs around $60-70m a year to run a club. They don't make profits (well maybe a small accounting profit). Stop whining. Its really easy to take pot shots but a lot harder to be pro-active. Make a suggestion. Be part of the solution if you think there is a problem. Contact the club and offer them your event organising skills. The night sells out so clearly many think it is a good night.

You clearly have never organised such a large event (and not many have) but if you have ever organised a function like this you would know that you can't do anything with large numbers like that for under $200 a head. $250 a head is about right.

What sort of alternative would you suggest? A BBQ at the G? I'd be really interested in your alternatives to 'reach out to supporters' whatever that means.

A BBQ at the G? I'd be in that, sounds like a great idea.

Me too! BBQ at the G sounds awesome.

Jnr, I appreciate the club has certain ways to make money etc and costs of events.

No I've not run a dinner, but have run events for 60 odd people from around Oz and NZ over a weekend. So I do have some idea.

Pity it is at Crown

I try to avoid that cesspool of evil

This city has changed a lot because that piece of junk has been built...

So you are not a gambler Sir WYL

Might be a good time to start.

Don't know how any supporter has survived the last few years without mind altering substances

Amen to that chook

I'll have between 3-7 drinks per year. Maybe a wine with a meal, or a whiskey cod it's delicious or the occasional port with a cigar, alcohol would prob make the loses even harder to deal with.

I admire your restraint.

Biffen, on a thirsty day would have that many for breakfast.

I , on the other hand who understands restraint, would get to my seventh around lunchtime.

I always picked you as a "restraining" type...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
