I will not be after a refund, too many years nil return anyway, 

what I would like returned is my respect of the players,  once they win some games.

and give value to us supporters that become members for years in a row. 
 

and some recognition from the club ( not personal) to the members for their support. What that might be I have nfi. 
 

this virus has shot 2020 down in flames, at least no one will forget this year, 

I am becoming jaded and bored !

still I can look down and see my feet,

stay well

People might also find themselves in the dole queue now when 6 months ago they wouldn't have ever foreseen that. To not be understanding that circumstances have changed considerably for everyone, not just the AFL and clubs, is extremely ignorant.

I haven't been impacted (yet) and hopefully I won't be - but I'm not going to guilt trip others who may be experiencing extremely tough times at the moment.

I understand that,but I am not sure you are understanding where I am coming from. People may have made a choice to purchase a new car six months ago, should they have the right to ask for a refund on that vehicle? Before you tell me that it’s not the same and they’ve still can some something of value, understand that they’d make a significant loss and no one yet knows if there will be a season that will offer members something of value or whether the membership would be credited to next year/season. 

I understand people are hurting and in need of money, but refunds from businesses will kill that business. I am not sure people understand how much the clubs need money. The money was parted with months ago. 

I am not interested in an argument, as I am worried enough with all that is going on and have no doubt we are one of the clubs facing insolvency within weeks. We sold all assets and were banking on gate taking revenue from several blockbusters this year a d increased membership sales to keep our heads above water. That’s all out the window.

I have both an MFC & AFL club support membership. In place of a refund, i would rather see the entire cost of my AFL club support membership (approx $600) go to the club, instead of the usual percentage they would normally receive.

Given Collingwood and Richmond are 2 of the 4 clubs that are allegedly bullet proof financially, I would hope that Melbourne are scheduled at least one home blockbuster next year - either Anzac eve or QBday.

I know we’re not scheduled to host either marquee game next year, but it would be a kick in the guts if the other mobs get the gate revenue for both events.

Perhaps Collingwood and Richmond will agree to split the gate with us  just for next year. And then business as usual after that.

we should get both blockbusters as it is still our turn. this years non event can't possibly count 

no sharing required

though i don't like the way it has turned into 2 one year, zero the next year loop. So, we could share one next 2 years then revert to 1 per year so income is consistent year to year

If the AFL is back up and running before QB, i reckon we should still host ANZAC eve next year , that way we are able to have one big game each year (as it should have been in the first place).

If the competition hasn't kicked in by QB, then we should host both games next year, followed by hosting one of the 2 games each year.

Even if it comes back by Queen's Birthday (which is extremely unlikely) there won't be any supporters allowed in negating the benefits of hosting it.

Very true Gonzo.

The AFL finding new indirect ways of shafting us. They should foot the entire bill for our new training ground (if we are ever able to find one)!!!

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
