On the Footy Show "as we speak" this guy is a mad footy fan and supports the Tigers but he is giving us $10,000 as he doesn't want us to head the way of Fitzroy or South Melbourne

Giving the Tigers $10K as well so he doesn't cop it from his mates! The bloke is a legend.

I see there are now 3 threads on this - can we merge please - MOD?

And some people dont want to buy memberships

this guy is happy to donate 10k to a club he doesnt even go for....

This should be a lesson to all people, if you havent got a membership

GET ONE!!!

 

10 grand :huh::o

thankyou ...

very much

Extroadinary. Absolutly lost for words but what a kind man. It will be disappointing if we cant get 2 mill this year in donations reducing the debt to 2.5mill.


Just saw it too. What a champion. I must say, Richmond are a different outfit this year. They're finally starting to play some decent footy (after many many years of being pure rubbish).

Not only that, I have a fair few mates who are Richmond supporters, and they all seem alot more mature this year. Maybe not being at the bottom of the ladder has meant they arent so agro all the time now!

Thanks to the guy who donated anyway. Really warms the heart to see someone do something like this for the love of the game and tradition. Great stuff!

This guy needs to be put in a loony bin, but not before he donates that $10G! But seriously, if i see this guy on the street i'll shake his hand till it falls off! Hopefully that'll inspire our "well connected" supporters to spring into action during debt demolition month.

Richmond are a lovely team ;) ..full lof lovely supporters... really..youre all top blokes..and sheilas of course !!

Now..the MFC account is : BSB... :D

Careful LT.... what is it? Be careful.... omigod....gggrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

(thanks Richmond supporter)

I understand the sarcasm, but don't really feel it's necessary in this situation


I've always liked Richmond supporters.

Never been to arrogant.

It really just shows that every footy supporter, no matter who they barrack for, is just another person, and that they shouldn't be judged for who they support. Compare this guy with the one who spat on Danny Frawley a few years ago - or St. Kilda supporters (who I once thought were all feral) with one stranger who spontaneously gave me a spare ticket to our elimination final with the Saints in '06, when his son was sick. One can sometimes become caught up in the weekly prejudice that goes on at the footy - against the umpires, against the AFL itself, or against whatever team we're playing that week. It's crazy really.

What a cool guy.

Was doing some work and had the TV on in the background and all of a sudden I heard the words "ten thousand dollars" and "Melbourne" and I had to get up and watch.

What a fantastic thing to do, donating a sizable amount of money to a club because you want to maintain the tradition and integrity of the competition and help Melbourne survive.

This really should be a kick in the arse for those who can, but don't contribute financially to our football club.

A sincere thank you to the guy!

Jesus.

I hate Richmond more than any club, but I can't seem to find a cloud within this particular silver lining.

If you see him in round 22, walk up to him, and shake his hand.

Really well said Jaded.......

Its amazing to actually see someone in this day and age put aside their partisan blinders to help out the opposition and thus help preserve the game.

It is a genuinely wonderful thing to do, and a big thank you goes his way for doing it.


Jimmy really needs to do what he can to thank this guy, make an example of him aimed at the Melbourne & Richmond supports that have deep pockets but short arms.

I too was stunned.

Big thanks to that man and if I ever head to Werribe in a few months I'll go to his eatery.

Can we get the name of the eatery? I'd quite happily visit it and put a few dollars back in his pocket in appreciation.

Well the most ironic thing about this amazing gesture, is that he was using it to plug his restaurant in Werribbee, which isnt even going to be open for another couple of months!

Nevertheless, a great gesture, thanks fella!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
