Paid.

Bumped it up to $50, too. Seems to be a pattern that everyone gets so excited when it works that they want to do it some more!

I'll be posting info of how to donate the generous amounts you have pledged when I get the info from Susie next week.

Again, this is a great moment for a great club, well done and keep it coming in, lets reduce that amount that Mt Theo themselves have to contribute if we can.

My better half and I in for $200.

I'm off for a beer and a swim, cheers...

Good work fork, fantastic to be involved with this.

Done. Couldnt raise my donation too much more than $5. So $25 it is.

Sleeve, I was thinking maybe a good way to keep track of everyone paying up is to post the reciept number.

Great work!

Now - I don't have a credit card...

Would it be possible for another donor to give me their bank details so I could transfer my donation to them, and just have them add my donation onto theirs when they do it all online?

Fired my $50 in through the website. Hope we manage to crack $4000 by the end of it.

$100 donated.

Upped mine to $100 (DN122840), we've got to get it framed as well after all.

Great work fork, Mt Theo, Sleeve and everyone else involved.

I have contacted the Club and am waiting for a call back (all in meetings - get Buckley (just joking)). I have given the site address for them to look at the thread and get the history and feel the emotion for themselves. Will keep you all posted as things happen.

Mick - have you been able to sort this out yet? I'm heading out but if you want to PM me if you've had no luck, I'll send you my bank details through this afternoon. I was about to pay for my donation now but I'll wait to see if I have to include yours.

Great news. The Club are thrilled about was has happened. They feel that it would be better to actually present it to someone (Susie?) from the Mt. Theo organisation at a Melbourne game here in Melbourne at a Presidents lunch. They will get the jumper framed with a plaque.

So I don't think this can all be organised by next Saturday and something else is happening at the Pres lunch the following game Port Adelaide so it may have to be the Richmond game. The Club are also able to get some footballs up to the Yuendumu Football Club.

Questions are:1. because of the difficulty of getting someone to go up to the community do we all agree that it be presented to Mt Theo at the Presidents lunch.

2. What do we want on the plaque. I presume both Demonland and Demonology?

3. Can we get Jet Star /Qantas to donate a ticket for Susie to come down?

Has anyone any thoughts.

I will also let those on Demonology know what is going on.

I think it should have Demonland/Demonology

Good luck getting a free flight :)

If you could get it presented to a representative of the Mt Theo Community at the presidents lunch that would be awesome.

I would have loved to be able to donate more.

Great work everyone

Hi Gang,

Back in Australia and stoked to see all this money flying in to Mt Theo. Thanks to everyone for the messages of thanks and support but it must be said that this was a simple idea until you all got behind it. This kind of feels like a movement now, a rush of support with heart from us the supporters to liam, mt theo, the warlpiri mob and the club.

I apologize to people I haven't been able to get back to who have sent personal messages. I will respond asap. Speaking to a number of people today and will report back when things have been formalized. In the meantime keep the money and goodwill rolling. Can't answer all questions just yet.

Well done.

Can someone copy this onto 'ology for me?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
