AFL Membership Refund

AFL just sent an email offering 3 choices in relation to AFL memberships and the 2020 season.

No refund

Partial refund

Full refund

The sting is that in asking for a full refund your AFL membership will be cancelled.

The other two offers are reasonable and provide discounts for 2021. Fair enough but the cancellation of membership and back on the waiting list etc is perhaps a little too far.

Will be interesting to see what MFC and MCC come up with.

    the mcc will probably introduce a mandatory levee to cover covid19 losses

    Could you elect for the partial refund to go to the club?

    Every little bit helps.

    the partial refund includes an element of club support being maintained. It does not give the dollar difference if any to the Club between that option and the full membership component.

    If you elect to continue as is  (full membership) you get a sweetener of "your choice of AFL member pack" up to a potential value of $250 (no idea what that really means) and 30% off my 2021 membership.

    I think they are fair offers but the perhaps cancellation of membership is over the top.

    • Demonland changed the title to AFL Membership Refund

    Seems fair, I assumed they would have to offer partial refunds to the level of an absentee membership which is fair. $170 to maintain your membership status for the year means $450 saved from a full membership and $300 from a silver membership

    The email seems to indicate you'll still have access to games this year should criwds be allowed to return (unlikely I know) but I'm going to clarify that this would be at the same rate as usual (ie for finals would you get in week 1 for the booking fee of $20 or would you have to pay the guest pass fee of around $80+ booking fee?)

    Its comes back to what is more important the cash or the marketing value of the membership?

    Which one is worth more to the club, I would say the marketing/market reach for our sponsors and other corporate interests.

    Happy to keep paying as I can.  For those that make the choice for a refund hopefully they can be retained as a member for maybe a $1 for marketing purposes etc.

    I haven't heard anything from the MFC yet on membership options for 2020. Other clubs have emailed their members to let them know what options they have on the table (some have been more underhanded than others *cough* Adelaide *cough*) but haven't seen anything from MFC yet.

    I'm not seeking a refund but was interested in what options the MFC had come up with. Some clubs have offered merchandise as comp including signed guernsey's and I just read on BigFooty Carlton have offered members a free GA membership for 2021 for someone who was not a member this year. Pretty clever way to grow the membership base.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
