Would you not buy a Membership if ......

[Males 578]

I support the club, I might joke every now and again that they're trying my patience and  that I might not renew, or burn, my membership, but it's a slight exaggeration. ?

If they traded Hogen, Petracca and Brayshaw with Watts, that might push me over the limit. ?

Not a trick and this is probably not the venue to ask that question which is why I will also pose the question on the Demonland Facebook page. 

You,re now state of Origin and don,t know where coming from !

10+ years of membership and even though im a Watts fan wont change me re-signing. 

Tbh trading beamer and brock hurt more!

They have kicked me in the guts many times over the last 46 years...

But I am still there.

They will kick me in the guts again over the rest of the journey...

But I will still be there.

Only an Essendrug type thing would make me walk away... but only until those that did it where removed and punished...  then I'd be back.

Why? Because my heart beats true. I have demon blood running up and down my veins, carrying it to my great big red and blue heart.

There is no football without the MFC. There is no point watching football without the MFC. Without the hope of hearing 'Grand Old Flag' then it's just a bunch of guys in shorts and silly tops chasing leather. But with that hope... it is the greatest game ever made.

I live in the country, cost in time and money is always a consideration but I've airways been a member. I use to travel 2 hours each day for work daily, now only 40 mins but now I'm a casual so money is a big factor. So while it wouldn't solely make up my mind, if they traded Viney and or petracca and I was getting sod all shifts it might swing me to down grading out dropping for a year. 

Never done it yet to.

I don’t care who is traded but the club as a whole are on there last chance with me, either make finals next year or not another cent from me till they do.

I've supported the MFC for 65 years, C stands for CLUB.

I've therefor seen quite a few people come and go, players, coaches ,admins , etc, all having their input which is greater than mine.

I count myself lucky that in my latter years I've got the opportunity to be a member of Demonland , which allows me so much more  MFC involvement. Compared to Saturday nights Sporting Globe its a big step up.

So watts my point ? The thread question should have included a CLUB alternative which is always greater than the team perspective .

In light of one player commanding 259 pages I think its a salient point.

RDB and the Redfox moving on were really big topics in times gone by and would have commanded more than 259 pages in  retrospect

In conclusion , despite his buzzcut, I suspect Goody is a redhead and I hope he gets as many flags as the last one !

There seems to be a lot of sentiment online that a "supporter" won't buy a membership if player X is let go?

In this case player X is of course Jack Watts. The Melbourne Football Club posted a post on Facebook plugging the purchasing of your 2018 membership and the majority of comments center around people claiming that they won't purchase a membership if Jack Watts is traded.

Do you subscribe to this? Would you not buy a membership based on a players retention, trade or delisting?

As far as I’m concerned. Those who don’t buy a membership bcos Watts was traded can.

More annoyed with the insipid end to the year than player movement. Dont get me started on that ...
