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.

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

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

  • Quote

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

  • Quote

    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

    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??

  • Quote

    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

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
