I was thinking the other day that we only received one and that was at the start of the year. Normally you get one around July and then you get an end of year one. My membership is the $50 mfc/mcc one. I should get the magazine because the membership category is recognised by the afl and goes towards our total. We have 4 memebrs in our house. We should at least get one. Just wondering if others got one. Although I'm still waiting to receive my renewal form come to me in the mail.

Don't think we ever even received that little booklet that comes out at the beginning of the year with all of the players profiles..

They'll step up next year with the magazines I think, and hopefully on a number of other levels ie. stickers, being our 150th and all. Hope so anyway.

Glad you raised this topic. I received only one mag. and that was near the beginning of the year. Normally, if I remember correctly we receive three copied each year (beginning, middle, end of year). So, what happened this year? I don't know.

Gee - you'd think Steve Harris as an ex "Age" editor could whip out a couple of editions in his spare time!!!

As for the little year book called this year the "MelbourneFC 2007 Almanac", I didn't receive one with my 2007 subs package so I went to one of the MFC sales booths at the MCG early on in the season and requested and received a copy.

As an aside, I notice the Essendon , Carlton, Bulldogs and (that black and white mob) magazines sold in many news agencies around Melbourne. Why not ours? Spread the word, especially next year our (not the AFL's) 150th.

so... no more magazines?

im sure posters from this site and demonology could write some damn good articles. Also give them the chance to meet the players through interviews and bring the club and its supporters closer.

I am not saying no more mags - I just wanted to fill in some of the history since it seemed people did not know it - I have had no inside knowledge of it for a few years now so what the plan is I could not say.

There always has to be a yearbook, and I reckon a guide to the season is expected, but maybe that is all. Like I said, my inside info is history.

You're right, though, fans could contribute (after all, the volunteers and cut rate writers before were all fans trying to help the club out) but someone has to have the job of co-ordinating all that. Linda Carroll has been writing for it the past several years but as the club historian she has other stuff to do, and that is the issue - it can't really be done by people being part responsible.

you said what i thought. we could get 50 articles a year from this website alone, but who is going to edit it, design the mag, coordinate the project, organise the sponsors and advertisements and pay the printers. thats before distribution...

I have not received any magazine this year.

I contacted the club in June to ask whether any had been sent out yet, I was told there was a magazine sent out at the start of the season (the season guide thing) and the woman was going to put one in the post for me that day. I even gave my postal address to her on the phone. Never received it and I couldnt be bothered ringing up again for it.

A successful club starts by getting the little things right, there are time that the club/member relationship and customer service needs to improve.

Those who dont feel they get value for their buck wont bother to sign up next year - particularly the $50 MCC members - the people the club are so desperate to keep.

Good idea this may give them a good idea of supporters numbers v's members?

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
