Great idea, good luck with it.

A couple of points -

Probably not the best idea to publish their upper limit on the forum - makes it easy for someone else to come over the top. I might remove that bit of the email - if you still want it there you can edit it back in :P

You might also want to be willing to stump up all the cash pledged, since it's not certain all pledges via the net will be delivered.

EDIT: Note that you can make tax-deductible donations to the Mt. Theo program, so that might be a good way to go about contributing.

Thanks Rogue. In my original post I didn't include the figures but then thought it was best to be transperent. Thought it was a long shot that anyone bidding against us would read what we're trying to achieve and outbid us, but maybe I am just naive?

Stump the pledges?

Happy to finalize the finances early next week. Some have mentioned ways of doing this, let's discuss. I am travelling back to Aust Sunday/ Monday and may be offline.

Long suffering thanks, would love you to continue to liase with the club. Would be great to see a group of Demonlanders, especially founding members, up this way for a handover of sorts. Getting ahead of myself, let's just hope Mt Theo brings it home.

    It has struck me that if there is one place in the world where Liam's debut guernsey belongs, it's in his home community of Yuendumu where it will stand forever as testament to the effort and energy of Liam and the many people that have contibuted to his debut for the greatest football club in the world, the Melbourne Demons.

    The idea is if we can get at least thirty of us put in $20 dollars each we can (hopefully) purchase Liam's guernsey, have it nicely framed up and dontae it to the community as a whole. The donation will be on behalf of Demonlanders. A nice news story for the club and a nice contribution and connection to the community.

    Whose in?

    Reply to this post letting me know, I'll bid on our behalf and hopefully this'll come off.

    I know everyone on here is right behind Liam and is inspired by this young man's effort thus far and also by the outstanding effort the club has made in settling him into his new life down there. His selection and the clubs faith deserves to be acknowledged, so let's make a statement.

    It's on $390 at the moment and there is only a day left so we have to move quick! C'mon Demonlanders!

    That is a superb Thought, i want to be part of that..

    The only shame of course is that it's not the real Melbourne jumper, but rather that white alternative. But oh well, doesn't matter, it's still Liam's first (of many).

    Ah, but one day there will be a 100-game jumper, a premiership jumper, and so on...

    It'll be quite the collection!

    Meanwhile, this whole thing is just brilliant. I just hope there isn't a third party out there also bidding on it with a view to donating to Yuendumu! Actually, scratch that, it would be ideal if someone else won the bid, donated to Yuendumu, we put our money into the community program, and Yuendumu gets to keep theirs too.

    Hi people. Susie Low the CEO of the Mt Theo Program has asked that I post the following remarks:

    "You guys rock! Susie here, CEO of the Mt Theo Program, and very proud 'grandmother' for Liam. Needed to let you know how overwhelmed we've been by your support in trying to get Liam's debut jumper home. Here, every day, it will inspire other young men and women to believe that absolutely anything is possible! We have known and loved Liam forever, but to see how you have embraced him in the Demons makes us so happy. You've got one of the best there, and sounds like you already know it!

    Still some time to go on the auction, and I'm pretty confident, but no-matter the outcome, your extraordinary efforts and support will remain with us. Thank you!!!"

    finger and toes all crossed!

    cheers

    Good on you Roost, the response has been great and I would like to think that the Mt Theo gang has enough, they are in charge of the bidding now and are aware of the amount pledged so far.

    Cheers for your and everyone elses support.

    That's great. Thanks for posting that Fork. Very happy to hear that Liam's community knows how much we love what Liam has been able to achieve so far and what it means for us. And it's official. We rock!!! Always knew it. :)

    I don't know alot about online auctions but we've held the top bid now for about 5 hours. I know there's still 2 hours to go, but I'm hoping the competition has thrown in the towel. Fingers crossed.

    Ok, I correct myself. The auction page just updated. The price has flown up over the last few hours.

    Who is Dave Butts?

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
