Debt Demolition Luncheon

Featured Replies

Posted

I got a phone call from the club last night, enquiring if is was going to the Debt Demolition Luncheon, I told the young lady unfortunately due to work that I couldn't make it. I did ask however how many had already accepted and she answered 300.

Which means even at the minimum qualifying donation of $500.00 a seat that is at least $150,000.00, absolutely sensational.

I'll be there so I can provide a 3 word analysis if required

Thats not necessarily another 500 per person is it? I don't think that people who go need to donate more.

Some of the 300 may already have donated more than the $500.00

But it's not an extra 150,000 as the 150,000 would have been already included in the total.

All I am saying is that 300 people have donated at least $150,000.00 to the Debt Demolition.

Ohhk i get ya

 

Yeah! Great effort. Thats 300 who are going to the lunch. I wonder how many who have donated more than $500 are not able to attend. I got a call from the young lady aswell. Was very appreciative for my donation. Would have been great to go. But have work commitments also.

Suggests that most of the $ comes from a relatively small amount of people.

not necessarily

because you are not taking into account the donations

of $10, $20 or $50 that could have contributed

Well, 2,051,000 from the dinner, 100,000 from Foxtel, and an extra 150,000 at least from these 300 supporters (assuming they're exclusive from those at the dinner), makes 2,401,000 from about 460 supporters and Foxtel.

Leaving about 244,000 from the rest of us.

That means that 460 supporters, or 2.1% of our adult members, have raised 87% of the funds so far, and the other 97.9% of our members have raised 9% of the total

I'd reply, but 45hotgood's done it all (give or take a lazy 100K).

...and providing your assumption's correct, that % donated by the majority is probably inflated, given that some would have donated more than $500, and not all who have donated $500 will be able to make the luncheon / have organised to attend yet.

I'd reply, but 45hotgood's done it all.

if i wasnt currently failing maths i would attempt to prove u both wrong...

i donated $20 if that helps

how did you donate 20 dollars nick? i want to donate 100, but not sure ho to go about it

not to mention this resteraunt feast before the richmond game nick..what are the details?


And of course, i purposely placed a 4 instead of a 3 throughout my calculations to see which supporters are on the ball... :lol:

Not going through it all again, but it still means about 2% of our fans have donated 83%+ of the Debt Demolition campaign.

And yeah, I agree Rogue, many of those fans probably put in over 500, meaning their total may have reached 2,401,000 haha

Just spoke to Finks' Senior who went to the luncheon and he described it as an overwhelming success attracting about 380 people. He thinks the figure thrown around was $2.67m before today's results but he's not sure. All he seemed interested in was getting his souvenir footy autographed by Ronald Dale Barassi.

That's not far off the figure the website has listed recently.

380 is a great show, and I'm sure there were many who couldn't make it.

According to debtdemolition, almost $2.7M (2.695) has now been raised.

2 695 428

I got an email invite, but i didn't recieve it until 8:00pm last night and wasn't able to take a 2 & 1/2 hour lunch without any warning, which i was a bit disappointed with.

It said in the HS last week that they hoped to raise as much as another $100,000 more at todays luncheon, does anyone who was there know if the hat was passed around again?

I wasn't there, but apparently there was over $100,000 raised on the day (news courtesy of 'Grand Plan' at Demonology).

Great afternoon, and plenty more cash raised to boot. 2 more foundation heroes unearthed, one of which was Ricky Jackson. Another round of donations was asked for and they did the last man standing thing again. Probably 2/3rds of the room gave another $250, many were still standing at $500, Bails amongst others sat down ay $1000, Schwabby dipped out at $1500 and I think Barass (could be wrong, had a few too many ales). Fantastic effort by everyone! Cheers!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
