Seems entry will  be free

Ray, people will come, Ray.

They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past.

"Of course, we won't mind if you look around," you'll say. "It's only twenty dollars per person." They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it. For it is money they have and peace they lack.

 

 

I think we should charge $20.

    I'm hearing the event will be a 3:20pm start so channel 7 can cut to the news directly after.

    But that is the topic. Us seeing the cup. IF there is a photo opportunity it won’t be worthwhile with a mask

    After Nov 29, Masks only required 

    - in high risk indoor settings
    - where there are low vaccination levels
    - where you cannot socially distance

    Hopefully the photo opportunity on the ground/open, happy to mask in the queue if need be and then whip off for the Trophy

    Hopefully they hire some big screens to put around the ground and aren't just relying on the scoreboards

    Why not ? They are big enough and sound is no issue.

    There  are TV screens also in the MCC Reserve for extra coverage in that portion of the ground. 

    I am willing to pay $20 or even $30 per person to enter the MCG for this Melbourne Demons Premiership celebration event.

    I am also willing to pay (within reason) to have a photo of me and my Dad holding the 2021 Premiership Cup. That will be an extra special photo and I will probably be crying tears of joy a bit for that photo. 🥲

    As long as it is a great spectacle with lots of merchandising and food and entertainment then I can see it as a clever way for the Melbourne Football Club to make quite a bit of profit.

    After losing money from not having the Northern Territory game at Alice Springs and the Queen's Birthday game at the MCG I think it is paramount that the Melbourne Football Club hosts this event at the MCG and we have as many Demons supporters as possible attend.

    Assuming they make it worthwhile this will draw tens of thousands. No need to charge members who paid for 2 years for little return, and probably no chance to get a photo with the cup.

    But to hear from coaches and players, sing the song, watch either the full game or selected highlights, it should be great.

    I'm in two minds around a price of admission given I've paid hundreds of dollars for family GF guarantee memberships which, through no fault of MFC, wasn't guaranteed.

    Let's say it is $30 and a70,000 attend. That's a cool $2,100,000.

    That $2,100,000 can be used towards a belated thorough analysis the 2018 Preliminary Final. :cool:

    well if you go and get a chance for a photo with the cup.....

    then just before camera clicks, whip off mask, camera clicks, put mask back on

    i'm sure no-one will arrest or shoot you for a 3 second de-masking

    Sounds fair.  Just follow 2 simple Covid-sensible rules:

    1. No kissing the Cup
    2. No licking the Cup.

    They're doing a regional tour, but the admission price is an eye-watering $149 for a single or $499 for a family to attend.  Such high prices will keep a lot of fans away, I would expect.

    I heard about it yesterday - apparently at The Potato Shed in Drysdale @drysdale demon - but the proceeds do not go to the club, allegedly.

    Wow, a replica premiership cup!

    I don't get how there would be demand for so many events all over the state.

    I live in the "regions", and there's no way I'm going to spend $500 for the whole family to go to an event like this. You have to wonder where celebrating a premiership ends and price-gouging begins.

    Yep…you might know someone that had a direct chat with the organiser about this a couple of weeks ago SWYL. Not at all interested in this.

    This is the most significant part of the article:  "The eight events are being organised outside the Melbourne Football Club’s control by event company, DAPS Entertainment".  

    And odd attitude by the promoter:  

    "I’ve got large overheads. I book all the players though their agents, not the club. I’ve got to hire the venue and the venues aren’t cheap. There’s tech crews, memorabilia and it all adds up... “I will not run these events at a loss. I’m not in the events business to lose money. I’ve got to cover my costs and hopefully make something in return from it".

    It sounds like he has engaged the players directly through their managers.  Presumably the club has no control over their external promotion/appearance contracts. 

    But gee whizz this is effectively promoting the MFC's Flag and importantly using the MFC Brand which could so easily be tarnished by this guy, so hopefully someone at the club has endorsed it.  I wonder if he is using an official AFL replica Cup...

    I wouldn't have gone even it was run by the club.  Those prices are highway robbery.

    Would you be allowed to pose with the Cup and a signed football, or is ball-cupping also banned?

    No. BT should be made to do it as payback for all the crap he has laid on us over the years.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
