I'm sick of this crap

l'm sick of this crap what do you get if you are loyal and paid up early for the club?

NOTHING

Last year they gave away free resevered seats after round seven.

Because l paid up befor Xmas l got nothing .

Now they say if you join up a new member you can get the Age free.

This year l have signed up seven new members that have never been members.

Why should l get anyone to join or renew my membership early next year.

Ok l buy five member ships each year and will do so next year no matter what happens this year with the team.

All lm asking is for some reward for being a long time member.

l get a bit of a discount at the melbourne shop big deal.

So can any one at the end of the year.

l have paid for the member ships won and paid for simone Bucklys pink jumper as well as picketts pink jumper.

Lets also include the Neitz and Robbo and Jamars , Greens , and Millers jumpers.

As a family member plays for the dees l could just as easy get the jumpers off him.

NO l make sure that l give to the club money that they need.

Come on Melbourne why not look after the ones that ARE looking after you.

l'm sure l'm not the only one who is having this crap slaped in our face for doing the right thing.

Now they say they will give away money if you come to the games.

How about rewarding the people that have gone all year to watch this losses before they try to bring new people look after the ones that are their.

l just hope who ever gets the money one is a melbourne supporter and is one that has sat throw all their games this year.

And if you can get a new member to sign now you should begiven more then a paper.

For you have done a great job to get them to sign and lied to them about the afl becouse who would sign now really.

It's just marketing to get more people to go to games and sign up, not sure why you're so upset. Also people buying memberships now obiovuly aren't going to get the same benefit because the season is almost halfway through. It's like going to the supermarket and buying something on special because it's close to its useby date. (Just realised after I finished that analogy that it fitted on more than one level :( )

al l,m saying is they should to the marking early to get the people on board.

not after 8 losses they would have more chance really would you buy a member ship for a club that you have never been a memeber to after 8 stright losses.

i pay for not what the club can give me but so the lub i love will survive, and if after round 7 they give away some crap i dont care cos i have had free entry to those home games that those who sign late wont have

Correct. Its like not buying a shirt until it goes on sale when the season is nearly over. The difference here is the money goes to keep your club around. Also I think there were some freebies like scarves that may not still be on offer now anyway.

The club does market their product all the time, it's just more important now because of our poor performances on the ground. I know it's frustrating but remember it's also a business and the club needs to be proactive to get their revenue coming in.

Congratulations for also picking up that The Age only came on board just before or just after round 1, so the offer could not have been made to anyone who purchased before Christmas or before the season.

Don't make a fool out yourself by not checking out the facts first.

with regards to the age im surprised that a deal wasnt struck whereby all melbourne members could get a good deal on the age being home delivered, and if one was struck i never heard about it...

We may miss out on a few freebies signing up early, but big deal!

The club can't afford to give stuff away to every member, but if they offer it into the season as an enticement to re-sign a few lapsed members, or picks up a few new ones, well they have to try it.

I have to say, apart from the team losing a few games, I'm pretty happy with the value for money I get as an MFC member.

One thing that I do think is a good idea, and a mate who is a Richmond member experienced it, is having an exclusive function for members who had been signed up for 10+ years. It is a great reward for loyalty.

I lifted the following details off the Richmond FC brochure.....

CATEGORY MEMBER YEARS ADDITIONAL FULFILMENT

1st Year Member 1 year Invite to an Introductory function

& 2007 lanyard

2nd Year Member 2 year 2007 lanyard & Hoyts movie voucher

Bronze Member 3–4 years 2007 lanyard & Hoyts movie voucher

Silver Member 5–9 years Invite to a Free Formal Cocktail Party*,

2007 lanyard & a Silver member cap

Gold Member 10–24 years Invite to a Free Formal Cocktail Party*,

2007 lanyard & a Gold member cap

Platinum Member 25–49 years Invite to a Free Formal Cocktail Party*,

2007 lanyard & a Platinum member cap

Yellow & Black Member 50+ years Invite to a Free Formal Cocktail Party*,

2007 lanyard, Yellow and Black member cap

& Richmond finals ticket guarantee

The function my mate went to was at Crown, and had nearly all of the players attend.

I haven't checked the price difference between our club and others, and to be honest I don't really care......and RFC members may well pay a little more for this privilege, but I just thought the concept was a good one.

Because l paid up befor Xmas l got nothing .

Member's who had already signed up could have got a reserved seat for free as well. It could have been added on. Plenty of members did this. Check your facts before going on a rant buddy.

I think you'll find that the membership department is very approachable and appreciate members dropping them a line.

If you feel that you haven't benefited from personally referring 7 new members to the club, see what can be offered to you now or for next year.

Drop the membership department and email and see.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
