Pledge direct to the club
Pledging your membership direct to the club means you are choosing to maintain your 2020 membership amount and your membership payments will remain with the club.
You will continue to receive member benefits (excluding match access) including member exclusive emails and you will maintain voting rights in 2020 (subject to voting eligibility).
In the event that spectators may attend AFL matches later in the 2020 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, you will be provided with access to the matches applicable to your original package (subject to availability, AFL and Government restrictions and applicable health measures).
If you hold an adult or concession membership, continue your monthly instalments and pay the balance of your membership amount in full, you will be eligible to receive a free signed guernsey.
If you stop your monthly instalments you can pledge the amount already paid to the club but will not be eligible to receive a free guernsey.
All membership payments pledged to the club will remain with the club (except for any GST payable to the ATO) and will not be passed on to the AFL, Marvel Stadium or the MCC.
FREE official Under Armour guernsey
To be eligible for a free guernsey you must be an adult or concession member holding a High Mark, Silver, Bronze, Flexi Home & Away or National membership and nominate by no later than 30 June 2020 to pledge your 2020 membership amounts directly to the club.
If you hold multiple memberships, you will be eligible to receive one guernsey per eligible membership.
You must maintain your current membership and ensure your membership is paid in full in accordance with your original payment plan to be eligible to receive the guernsey.
The free guernsey is a 2020 home guernsey - event guernseys such as the Anzac Day guernsey are not part of the offer. It is expected that the 2020 and 2021 retail home guernsey will be the same.
You will be able to choose from a list of selected players to sign your guernsey. The club will contact you separately (before the end of the 2020 season) to select a guernsey size. Size selections are final and cannot be exchanged.
You can nominate ONE of the following players to sign your guernsey: Joe Daniher, Orazio Fantasia, Dyson Heppell, Cale Hooker, Michael Hurley, Anthony McDonald Tipungwuti, Andrew McGrath, Zach Merrett, Darcy Parish, Dylan Shiel, Devon Smith, Jake Stringer, David Zaharakis. Player signatures are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
Requests for personalised messages, heat press numbers or signatures from multiple/alternative players will not be accepted.
If you reside in Victoria, your guernsey will be available for collection at EFC’s first home game in 2021. If you cannot pick up your guernsey at the match, you can arrange collection from the club or choose to cover the cost of postage.
If you reside outside of Victoria, guernseys will be posted in early to mid 2021.
Convert to a tax-deductible donation
By choosing this option, your membership payments (less $20) will be provided to the Australian Sports Foundation as a tax-deductible donation with a nomination to support the club as a beneficiary.
You will receive a receipt from the Australian Sports Foundation for your donation.
If you choose this option, you will not be entitled to match access for 2020 and your donation cannot be reversed.
$20 from your membership amount will be retained by the club to reflect the value of benefits already provided and this component of the membership amount is not tax deductible.
Other
Consecutive years of membership will be honoured, regardless of the option selected, if you purchase a 2021 membership by July 31, 2021.
The options above are available only for memberships purchased before May 14, 2020. You may still be eligible for a refund if entitled under the Australian Consumer Law.
If you have purchased a reserved seat membership in 2020, your reserved seats will be protected in 2021 if your membership is renewed before the cut-off date outlined in your 2021 renewal notice.
If you do not advise the club of your preferred option by May 25, 2020, the club will rely on that non-response as your consent to the club proceeding to collect your remaining 2020 membership payments. You will, however, be able to obtain a refund of any further payments collected and stop any subsequent payments by contacting the club.
