Might go down the soft propaganda route and give mine to someone that's never been to a game of football and has no current allegiance to any team. Softly softly catchee monkey. 

A way of getting potential customers in Jaguar dealers. Might go to one for a sticky. I closed the Holden dealer a few months back could be the kiss of death for Jaguar! I wonder how many will actually bother to get the scarf. It is not as though you can use it.

Send it to  Barack Obama.  It couldn't hurt.

If he ever visits Melbourne,  he might drop by.?    A  coup-Dee-gras.

Do you wear your dees scarf to a restaurant for a night out in winter?

That would certainly be a classy addition to our football brethren but if I were to send it to a political figure that I admire it would probably have to be Nicola Sturgeon ???????

Yes, every time. Don't you?

 

I bought a few extra memberships to support the club so I have eight scarves on the way. A few will end up stuck to cars displaying West Coast bumper stickers.

She's our First Minister and arguably the only competent politician in the UK currently. Not that many people would argue mind. Barack would be next in line but his allegiance is to the Chicago White Sox I think and he also prefers to shoot hoops in his free time.

Sometimes the MFC scarf is the only thing I don when I go out.

Thinking I might wear mine face mask style on my daily commute.

...not that anyone much in Bris Vegas will know what it's about, but will proudly fly our colours anyways.

If we had won that day then yes. It's red and blue. If I was a freo fan back when they had purple green and red then probably not.

Probably an age thing, I wear one to the game then back in the closet till the next game. I actually wear older ones than the last few years as the  models of recent years have got smaller and I prefer the bigger ones of years gone by. I think the 2019 scarf is still in its plastic bag. Would I wear one away from a game? Never the only exception would be after a GF victory.

I'm still waiting for the email. Anyone else not receive it?

(And yes, I have checked the 'junk' and 'spam' folders. Plus, I do get other e-mails for MFC)

... still waiting for the 2013 scarf,  it's  "in the mail".    bloody AusPost.   Have they heard about  'tracking'  yet.?   ?

A lot of members must be getting scarfs as all spots at the Jaguar dealers are filled. Only spot left is the mcg gate 3

Well that seals it I won’t be getting the 2020 version. Anyone know what colour red they have used this year. And will get a scarf made in Melbourne next year? Oh I forgot we sold the machines to China.

I also didn't get the email.  I contacted the club and they have confirmed it wasn't sent to me at least, but they said it was a problem at the AFL end....either software or email lists.....

At least they are looking at it.  Thank goodness for Demonland

I wouldn't mind someone explaining what this actually means. My initial interpretation is that the AFL appears to be administering the club's relationship with its members. I'm not sure that's a good idea, although perhaps it's one way to reduce the club's costs.

I suspect you are right about cost reductions.  It took the club a couple of days to respond, citing a reduced number of admin staff at the club, so having certain functions "outsourced" to the AFL may have happened. 

Another example is the membership tally which has only been updated twice in the past 3 weeks...again probably now done at AFL HQ after getting the data from Ticketmaster...

 

Got the Scarf and keyring (the redhead) from Jaguar. Easy.Nice.

Went to the 'G for my pick up. Four key rings included - Viney, Gawn, Harmes, Brayshaw caricatures - per member was a neat touch HOWEVER, the club missed an opportunity.

Since the pick up was at Gate 3 there should have been a merchandise stand as well or at least a sign directing people to the demonshop near Gate 7  which was open but (when I was there) deserted!

There was nothing to tell members the shop was open or to display what was available a few hundred meters away. And no sign on the door of the shop that it was even open. Management needs to be more assertive, even pushier, to move those merchandise sales.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
