i'm pretty sure i remember most of it.

It was a great night and a great atmosphere.

Next year with more time it'll be much bigger, but everyone did a great job in such a short space of time.

haha you?

Well i'm not sure how much we got for entry, food, darts etc but i know from the raffles and silent auctions that they made over 700.

So hopefully the total got over 1200.

Great base to build from

Kudos to all those that went to so much effort into organising the night. I thought the band were pretty good! Really enjoyed the footage of old games, particularly the game against the eagles in Perth where Northey got involved at 3 quarter time with a trainer which fired the boys up. I had never seen that footage before as I was overseas for about 6 years early 90`s. The look in their faces as they marched of the ground singing Grand ol Flag was amazing and should be played to the current group if they ever need a lift!

I was really disappointed with the turnout however and was concerned when I rocked up around 8 that I may not get in the door thinking that it would be so packed out with passionate supporters concerned about their club`s future. How wrong I was. I understand it was organised in a very short time frame but we have missed out on a great opportunity to show how much this club means to us all! A pat on the back to all involved and all that rocked up and a raised eyebrow to those that knew about it and decided they had better things to do.

Got there a bit late but was better than never. Not many there, but enough for a good night. Thanks to organizers. The door charge was gone by the time i got there but i made up for it by spending about $100 on a couple of great vids and a shirt thats way to small. Was great to meet other young and dees suporters. Well done

Big thanks to everyone that turned up, and all the people that helped organise it.

It was great to hear from Brent Moloney and James Frawley, and just be able to mingle with them.

They also enjoyed watching the old highlights on the big screen, and having a laugh at Frawleys coach for

today, Andy Lovell, and his long flowing blonde mullet.

I was coming until a mate I haven't seen for a few years rocked up at my door half an hour before I was gonna leave. Good to see him but disappointed I missed the bash :angry:

You should have taken him too!

We raised over 1400 in the end.

Turnout was about 70. Which obviously wasn't maximum, but next year there will be a lot further warning, so it should be even bigger!

Well done guys. Turned up there with the misses for a a couple of beers and was great to see everyone enjoying themselves.

Watching the 2002 highlights on the big screen made me realise, just how far we should have gone that year. With players like, Scotty Thompson, Jolly, Bizzell, Peter Vardy, Powell, TJ, Chells, Schwarter plus plus etc etc all on fire., we really underachieved that year.

Do yourself a favour and go get a copy of that years hightlights....and you will agree.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
