This could well turn out to be the most important night in the club's history.

Its also important to think - how much does this save in the long run with regards to interest and the like? Its just enormous.

 

Yeah tell me about it, i don't understand it at all.

Perhaps he thought he'd stick around...?

I head they were reluctant to sign someone on a set contract in case there was a change of heart/board and we had to pay him out. Still, why put him on 460,000

170 people in attendence plus 25 people who couldn't make it, making it 195 x $6,000.

Total amount pledged to be announced in a minute.

You with ASIO or something??

Gee glad I wasn't there, they would have skun me out...

Great intelligence, Haydo. Thx.

 

Maybe Hutchy chipped in 8 grand for the inside scoop

Youre absolutely spot on Mickrocks..the Interest is a killer. Get rid of a lot of that and al lof a sudden even the same revenue stream gets much hightened results.


WOw! :o

That pulls the heart strings Haydo, that is just...overwhelming.

Many thanks from all. Now its up to the rest to eat away at the debt over August (and the interest too - yes BB).

BB you could be spot on with the $1.75m prediction. By the end of August $3mill could be wiped off! :rolleyes:

Rogue, the three month "pay-out" is his payment for the three months he worked

If so, then there was no 'payout' at all - we had simply already paid him for work that he had done (ie. wages). I think it would be unlikely that there was no severance pay. It seems more likely that the 'payout' is equal to three months of work, as has been reported:

"McNamee lasted only 106 days, but will receive a payout believed to be $115,000, equal to three months of his annual salary at Melbourne."

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/stor...5016161,00.html

"The Demons are contractually obliged to give the departing chief executive a payout of about $115,000."

http://news.realfooty.com.au/sport/paul-mc...80723-3jmn.html

If there was in fact no payout, we've done a terrible PR job.

That's why I used quotation marks, and why Distance Demon provided that summary.

Because we (or me at least) don't think it was a payout, but actually just payment for his time in the job. And i'm happy to be proven wrong, as that would correct my judgement on the matter

 

If this info eventuates, it'll be more than 1.75 i'm thinking

Foxtel are giving dollar for dollar, up to 100 grand, so that's 1.85M already by your estimates...


never so happy to be wrong !! :D ;)

Haha don't wanna be greedy but i'm hoping if half, 100 donate 6 thats 600, and 95 donate twice that, that's already about 1.75, not including if some put more in

never so happy to be wrong !! :D ;)

$2,013,000 the final amount raised.

No Ron Walker btw.

Don't think i've ever been so nervous away from gametime

Holy moley! That is amazing, our club is on the up people

GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS. i'm going to save as much as i can all month and donate as much as possible in one hit


$2,013,000 the final amount raised.

No Ron Walker btw.

Wholly siht!

Wow.

That's brilliant, that's this years $2million debt wiped off already!

That will be front page news tomorrow.

:blink::blink::o

well....thats ...quite...remarkable...


I am stoked with that effort. It still won't get the filth off the back and front pages though.

:lol:

Tomorrow's Headlines:

DEMONS TURN CORNER

PIES LIES PUT CLUB IN TURMOIL

Thats fantastic news

Some very generous people have just help stabilise the foundations of this great club.

Thankyou each and every one.

Any calls from India by any chance Haydo??

Best news ive heard for a while. Its all well and good to demolish the debt but we really need to start making profits. This is a great start though

I read on big footy

"There is still one function left for the members who are willing to donate between the 500-1000 buck mark, so hopefully we can get 200-300k from that as well, a great start to wiping that 5 million debt."

ANyone know what this function is? I would be happy to go

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
