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.

    Would've been there but ruptured my achilles and had to prep for surgery Saturday. Needless to say I'd rather have been celebrating with my fellow Melbourne fans...

    Nice one.

    Any estimate on the turnout?

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
