Advisory Panel

[Supermercado]

Who else got this email?

MELBOURNEfc would like to invite you to be an important part of a new and innovative project that the Club is about to launch.

We invite you to be a foundation member of the Club’s first Member Advisory Panel. This exciting project is a first in the AFL industry; this communication tool is currently being used by global businesses that are synonymous with best practice and innovation. Our intention is to start a conversation that will bring our members closer to the Club, and assist us in creating a way for you to play an important role in determining the future of your Club.

As a member of this exclusive group, you will be asked your opinion regarding crucial and meaningful issues that will ultimately guide the Club’s future direction. The Advisory Panel project will consist of three phases over a three month period. Each phase will take you approximately five minutes to complete, and will consist of a series of questions about various aspects of the Club’s operations.

The Advisory Panel’s recommendations will be collated and reported back following each phase, to both the Club’s senior management and to you, the members of the Advisory Panel. We are looking for passionate MELBOURNEfc members to represent the Club’s 28,000-strong membership base.

2008 is shaping up to be a very exciting year as the Club celebrates its 150th anniversary of formation and welcomes a new senior coach.

The new logo they're launching next year looks alright. I don't mind the idea of dropping the character logo and concentrating on making "Melbourne" more of a brand name than Demons.

 

[Marns]

Logo looks pretty basic IMO. Not bad, just not something that must've taken a while to come up with.

 

[swjmfc]

My answer to the logo question was "much worse". It is basic Marns. Don't get me wrong, I adore our "jumper" stickers on the car, but it shouldnt be our logo.

Our logo is the best in the league. If they were to change it, I would prefer it be to our old stager 80s one.

[Brock McLean for PM]

Yep - got the email and loved the idea of the simpler logo. We really should be pushing Melbourne as our major brand or identity rather than the Demons.

 

[the russian40]

Yeah got it too, think its a good idea

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

Awesome way to rename the "End of Season Survey".

Its like the simpsons renaming "Jury Duty" to "Justice Squad at the Municipal Court of Vengence".

Not a bad way to spend "Dudded Judd Day"

 

[Supermercado]

Any decent end of season survey would have given me a space to write "REDRAFT PHILTHY PHIL U DOGS"

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

You had your chance - "Any other way to celebrate the 150th?"

Although my suggestion of ripping out the heart of Gabriel Zondy in a Temple of Doom manner in front of all members won't make the cut.

 

[Supermercado]

I did suggest having a game where every single living player is invited to go on the field pre-match.

Where else will you ever have the chance to see John Howat standing shoulder to shoulder with Darren Cuthbertson, Brian Stynes, Vin Cattogio and Donald Cockatoo-Collins?

I didn't get the email, even though I am an AFL Member (with MFC club support).

Our 150 celebrations should include:

1. A replay of the classic '88 GF with original players taking the field.

2. Limited edition bottles of port that can only be drunk when we win our next premiership. (It has to be port. If it was wine it would turn to vinegar before we got to drink it).

3. Stage a "Wrestlemania" event between all protaganists involved in the merger fiasco. Hold it at Dallas Brooks Hall. Intercontinential title fight between Bill "Proxy" Guest and Brian "Can't Serve on the Board" Dixon and a no disqualification cage match between Ian "Get on your Feet" Ridley and Joe "It was only $2.7 Million" Gutnick.

4. A "Walk Away from the 'G" event where all MFC members walk from the MCG to Docklands as a symbolic protest for all the MCC members who aren't MFC members.

Add to that the insistence of Juice having his own bronzed statue outside the G. Despite the fact he's only part of our recent history, he will be around for a long, long time.

Can someone post the new logo? I want to see it!

 

[Kissboy]

I too put "much worse". It is a step backward.... remember the previous logo? And I am not talking about the classic 80's Demon!!

 

[Supermercado]

The only thing I didn't like was the crazy M. I'm not for cartoon logos.

 

[TelkoTheGreat]

i liked our early 90's one could someone post that up, cheers

 

[Klyntonius]

Hate the new logo.
Nice to see the club at least look like they're interested in what the members think.
