Demonlanders help purchase Liam's debut guernsey...

Recommended Posts

It's great to see these donations rolling in. Mt Theo have been swept up in the excitement, I reckon we’ve got a few new members on the way!

Keep it coming in, it’s not too late to get involved, excess monies could even go towards ensuring the proper representatives from Yuendumu and Mt Theo are able to attend the jumper presentation.

Imagine how proud Liam is going to be to have some family attend such an event!

C’mon Dees!

I vote that it should be Fork representing Demonland. This is a simple decision really. If he can't unfortunately attend I would hope one of the original longtime members of Demonland would attend in his place.

I'd love to attend the function with everyone else. Sounds like it will be a great night. But I will be out of state that week, and to be honest, I don't think I could afford the $90 at the moment. I gave what I could afford to 'the Jurrah cause' which I was more than happy to do.

I am hoping that there will be someone with a video camera attending so that the presentation of the guernsey can be posted on the MFC website or Youtube.

Would be fantastic to get as many Demonlanders/Demonologists as possible to this event.

Looks like a really interesting, affordable, and worthwhile one.

I think it'll probably be the one function I can attend this year too!

A girlfriend(another Dees supporter) and I will be there. Hopefully I can ring in a few more Dewomen as opposed to Dem"ens"> I hope all you men who now know the sex of some of the forum chatters will still respect our female opinions. I was loathe to reveal my "femine status" as I didn't think that most of you men would think that we would have football knowledge let alone an opinion. I am sure I will be pleasantly surprised.

Increased my contribution to $50. DN123014.

I definately think Fork should be the one to handover the guernsey to Susie at the Presidents Lunch.

Again, great work everybody.

What about Jimmy handing & thanking to Fork, handing to Susie. The 3 of them in shot, highlites that our supporterbase is warm & generous & not sucking plums @ the snow.

I think I speak for everyone on the forum when I say that you have nothing to worry about in this regard!

The simple fact that no one can tell who anyone's gender is on the forum (unless it is expressed) should put this to bed - even disregarding the simple fact that footy opinion and knowledge has nothing to do with gender. Of course, with roughly 50% of fans being female, their opinion should be respected just as much as any bloke (who generally just speak crap anyway).

It should be Fork to do the handover. With all due respect to Jimmy - he isn't the person responsible for organising this. It is the great work of Fork that instigated this and then the support of Demonlanders and Demonology members in conjunction with the great people of Mt Theo - the club has had nothing to do with it (except make a profit) so I don't think Jimmy should be the one to do it.

That's just my two cents worth.

I want to be president or number one ticket holder of Fork's fanclub!

Well said mate, ('deesrock') I'm with you. But a win/win would be good.

Honestly, I am really happy with my contribution and want to share this experience with you mob.

Lets nominate someone most deserving, jaded is a good option.

While I would love to do it, and feel honored to be mentioned, I'm actually going to be interstate (plus I can't afford the price of admission ;)). Besides, I can think of other more deserving individuals who have been involved with this club for longer than I have been alive.

I know Judee was really helpful to me when I organised a Sportsman's Night for the Tsunami fundraiser. She is also always involved with membership drives and gives a lot of her time to our beloved club. I would like to point out that other than my dealings with her via the Tsunami f/r, I don't know her at all so there is no bias here.

I don't know Judee (other than meeting her at the above fundraiser) so I don't know if she would be comfortable with this or not.

My vote is for Luke.

Einstein, being an indigenous member of the club would you be interested?

Thanks for the thought 45, but no, I will be out of state during the week of the function.

Plus I don't think I would feel comfortable taking the spotlight. I feel there are more deserving members of Demonland who have done alot of good work both here and for the club over the years. I'd like to see them receive some recognition for their efforts.

I think everything possible should be done to get Luke down for the night.

Ah, my next vote was for you!

I'd definitely like to see Luke involved and, though he's a Pies man. I'd love to see Rudeboy involved and congratulated on all his help - I think that would underscore the beauty of this whole story.

Perhaps WJ?

Yeah, I think I'd vote for Rudeboy next, if Luke can't make it. Rudeboy has been incredibly important in Liam's transition to the big smoke. He is a Pies man, but I think I am correct in saying that he is also a Melbourne member now. I might be wrong on that. But yeah, I think Rudeboy would be a great substitute if Luke can't attend. He gets my number 2 vote.

If not Rudeboy, then maybe one of the longtime female members of Demonland. That'd be great to see also.

I'm sorry for my late involvement in this , but is it too late to suggest that I will frame it free of charge - it is afterall part of my business as a picture framer / gallery owner that I regularly frame sporting memorabilia .

If the jumper is left at either my Malvern or Fountain Gate stores , I can have it framed , with a plaque denoting the relevant information included , within a week .

Please advise ASAP if I can be of help .

I am a Dees member, and would be honored to be involved in some way, but I honestly think one of the long serving Demonland members are more deserving. I'd be happy to just be there and take a photo of the presentation.

Thanks Joeboy, very generous, I'll get back to you. Cheers.

Obviously Luke would be option 1, but if he can't do it for whatever reason, Judee should certainly be the nomination for Demonology.

In terms of Demonland - there are heaps of people who've donated so lots of options - but maybe WJ?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
