Mega Thread General MFC Discussion IV – Roffey and Pert Gone, Bartlett Case Settled, Board Election Finalised

[CNDee]

He bleeds red and blue on a million dollar salary, while the rest of us plebs bleed cash in a cost of living economic crisis.

The club isn't owed money from anyone.

agreed but my monies on clarry because he loves and respects the club. I know an ex dees reserves player from the late 80’s who’s a principal (Shep area) that knows Clarry and he texts him about his game etc and Clarry replies. I couldn’t believe it. Clarry’s resurgence means a lot. If it doesn’t happen we trade him and spaghetti meatballs

I'm not paying jack shit to support this train wreck of a club. Stop talking the talk and walk the walk - do better. Better game plan and style, be real with the fans, and get your house in order by getting rid of anyone who has been underperforming, players or staff.

 

[Topkent]

I'll be buying a hawks membership instead next year if we don't change, entertainment can have my money

 

[schmuttt]

Schmitt, firstly your comments arnt in good faith. To be honest they’re rediculous. You want to be a big club then there’s only one way, give money. Pies have been disgraceful over the journey there supporters don’t care, they love it. Wait until the bummers make finals. They still don’t believe they were drug cheats. etc etc etc

What are you waffling about?

Pies fans simply outnumber us, same with Essendon fans. They aren't any more or less passionate, there is just a lot more of them.

I want to be entertained by my football club - being a paid up member for my entire lifetime with literally one successful season is more than enough service. I don't even expect them to be a flag contender every year, I just want us to be watchable and we haven't been watchable for over two years now. It is an incredibly naive mindset just to keep giving them money when they aren't helping themselves, the club isn't a family member FFS

I’m assuming you do buy a membership for each year but youre pi!$ed. Hang in brother. We've got 1 year left with this list. Rebuild could be ok with some young talent

I'll be buying a Tassie one. And a NT one.

You are wrong.

I purchased 2 year memberships in the 35 years I've been supporting the Dees. I live in Tassie, I get no benefit from a membership and I certainly am not giving money to them for the current brand of crap they are dishing up.

I'm a foundation member of Tassie though. So far they haven't let me down

Exactly bro, we’ll never have pie numbers. Some think that’s the level . We are what we are. Back it or f**k off

Daemon, I’m not a massive meatloaf fan but 2 out of 35 ain’t bad. I’m excited for Tassie. We have to make a decision about if we go full rebuild before you 2 headed bastards get in and take all the talent but next year will decide that

I used to think you're a troll but you might legitimately be this thick, which is ironic with how you talked down on Pies fans a few weeks ago.

 

[dazzledavey36]

I'd rather be putting my money back to local footy or my kids auskick.

**** this club, they ain't getting a cent.

Agree dazzle. I’ve gone local footy myself

I still get a membership but yes my time and money is in local

Shimitt I’ll be honest. I don’t give a f**k about pies supporters. They can hang out wit joffa and eddy. Your irony, I don’t know what you’re talking about

 

[Headless]

"Shimitt" is good gear.

GWS in tatters.

GWS in tatters.

They'll be bought again. I might buy everyone except Melbourne

On this subject, I'm with Joe.
More importantly, Melbun says Goodwin must go.

 

[Proper Gander]

This thread has gone amazingly weird

 

[Apostrophe]

I won't be renewing my membership at all unless I see a full overhaul of the footy department.

I was a gold member due to consecutive years of membership, I didn't renew in 2024 due to the game style and nothing I've seen yet this (albeit early) off season has me queuing up for 2025

Interestingly i was speaking to a few passionate older Dees supporters just the other week at a local footy finals and even they have said they won't renew their membership whilst Goodwin is coach.

There would be thousands that think this way.

 

[Toump Ass]

You can't convince people to give their hard earned over in these times, if you play shit football. It's a business, people aren't going to to buy a crap product. We're shipping a crap product at the moment

Yeah for me personally, it's not just the fact we're a poor club at the moment. The whole gameday experience isn't really enjoyable for me any more. I feel like I'm being bombarded with (gambling) advertising at the venues, ******** security, long cues for coke-a-cola. Just can't be ****ed going to games and don't want to spend $$$ on a bumper sticker and scarf I don't even wear.

 

[Supermercado]

Supermercado likes this idea.

I'm pivoting to appeal to the niche "who gives a shit, any sort of flag is good enough or me" market.

I’ll buy it.

A big step up from the Demons shop in 2022 with a AFLW premiership t-shirt for $70 dollars shown as an outline with “image unavailable” written across it. If I had a spare $70 at the time I would have jumped on the chance to buy my image unavailable t-shirt.

As Christmas approaches I hope there will be some more image unavailable products so I can surprise and delight my loved ones
