Interesting there Minister. Im wondering if in some way you might possibly consider further brick wall bashing and recontact the club..at a highter level.. and resuggest the occasion. We have a new Honcho..it might get some air this time.

There are many things the club can do without spending much if anythong ( not in great scheme of things ) to get some exposure

Jacey.. its kinda funny.. ..and am sure it would apeal to quite a widespread selection of the followers. I also noticed the othr day it got some secondary press ..about how norty it is.. how sexist etc etc blah blah blah.. This all works to reinforce its original impact. ou certainly wouldnt want to base al lyour efforts around this sort of thing but as a fringe like whimsy it works for sure.. 9000 hits!!

As you show..doesnt take much huh !!

In 20 years I have never relinquished my membership, and FWIW I don't see it as the solution.

Exactly its not a solution. Does that make you an apologist in the same way for not burning your ticket over your grievances?

A wonderful exhibition of buttering the bread on both sides. Well done.

It's been along time since i've posted here, but i am an avid follower on this site, and an MFC member....

Actually footy_minister your post has reminded me of another experience with the club.

About 18 months ago I contacted the club about a possible partnership, I was with the CBA in Home Loans at the time. The offer was to advertise in our magazines that if any MFC fan took out a home loan or refinanced to the CBA then I would give them a special discounted rate, discounted establishment fee and we would pay the MFC a 'spotters fee', normally around $1,200 to $2,500 per deal depending on volume. Basically the deal would involve no work from the club, just advertising in the mag and perhaps adding a flyer in their membership drive, we were prepared to pay all the costs. We had done similiar campaigns with other organisations and the general return was about 5 - 10 deals a month, giving a minimum return of around $6,000 per month, $72k per year. Small bikkies when looking at our total income, but not so small considering our profits...

The offer was looked at (I won't give a name) and the guy told me that he'd get back to me. After a couple of months I had no response, got in contact again and the some story, he'd get back to me. I gave up in the end, they obviously weren't interested.

Out were I am in the NT we have the largest football competition in the NT outside Darwin with 8 teams competiting. There is not a person in town that doesn't own a football jumper of one of the afl teams or a hat. I wrote to two clubs asking if they would like to support a junior football competition that has since started up by donating what ever they could such as old boots, footballs, jumpers, whistles, shorts or what ever they could as the kids have nothing. The two clubs were Western Bulldogs and Melbourne. From the Western Bulldogs a week later we received hats, key rings and stickers all of which the kids wear and keep. Also a letter apologising for not being able to send anything else but wished us all the best. Absolutley fantastic. From Melbourne we heard nothing. Yep, they may have been to busy and had nothing available and that is absolutely fine but a reply would have been good.

I hope the Dees have a win this weekend. It has been quality opposition we have play so far so this is the big one for us.

On Demonology they have been thinking about whether Neitz is calling it a day. Has anyone found out what is going on?

No, it's not YOUR solution or MY solution. But, like it or not, it is A solution.

Yours is clearly not an isolated example of an opportunity lost.

They say a fish rots from the head down and I am starting to smell rotten fish.

Cliches are easy , but life is not that simple when you have a poorly perfoming product to market.

I have booked a Corp. Box through the club for my company (for the last 4 years) and when calling the club today to confirm arrangements, my contact , who did a fantatsic job of handing my enquiry and locking in the deal, didn't anwser the mobile, but was operating the switchboard when i finally made contac - Talk about multi-skilling.

I, and I expect Paul Mc namee would want them out marketing.

Like Dean Bailey rebuilding the team from scratch , these things WILL take time.

You either hang in there, like I did in the 60's and 70's , or you don't . If its the latter, you weren't that rusted on anyway.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
