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.

Posted

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.

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.

Posted

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.

Posted

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

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

Posted

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

Posted

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

Posted

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

Posted
$2,013,000 the final amount raised.

No Ron Walker btw.

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??

Posted

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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.
