What a great Club, and what great supporters we have. Our footy has been pretty shitty of late, but this is an achievement to be proud of. Great job Fork, and everyone else involved. Please bump my earlier contribution up to $50.

PAID 28 JUNE (DN122682)

I was wondering if anyone will be at the Bentleigh Club tonight to watch the Dees v the Lions...

Curious if you will be there Fork or a delegate to start attaining some of the donations.

I would also love to make a contribution and would be happy to make my payment tonight if possible.

Go Dees and thank you Fork - this has been very inspiring

The whole exercise has been significant.

Sorry glory, overseas at the moment, in transit today, will be online tonight answering questions and posting payment info.

In transit Sunday/ Monday also but online in and out. Stay in touch, if certain members want to starting pooling their donations, please proceed.

Gotta go!

I cannot congratulate everyone involved enough, especially fork and sleeve.

Staggering is right, I only wish I could pledge more (maybe I'll chip in a bit extra when it comes to transferring. Significant moment in our history.

This is why sport is the best thing in the world.

I am so proud of everyone at this great club. Well done and thanks so much Fork for getting the ball rolling. No matter what happens on the field - WE ARE WINNERS already.

Hey, you mob blow me away! I keep logging in to see if it's all over, and you just keep on giving. You have totally won me over.

At Yuendumu, the story is getting around, and I reckon you've picked up around about 800 fans or so - that's how many of us there are out here!! I also reckon our future AFL stars might be thinking well of the Demons too.

Can't even begin to thank you enough. Just know that you can be extremely proud of giving a unbelievable gift to Liam's family and community, and one that will just keep on giving. That # 48 guernsey is so much more than it seems - it's pride in the present and hope for the future. Can't buy it. As Japaljarri said, its all so much more than just a game.

What an awesome way to build a partnership. :rolleyes:

Hey people what about we raise the total amount so the people at Mt.Theo can use the money for other things. Time to dig a little deeper. This should be our gift to them.

Great Idea. At present the total is $2983 with a total of 3410 to get, we are not that far off.

I will say one thing, this will rely on those that have pledged to come good and ensure they come good, which I have no doubt they will but it does need to be said.

I've made a database of all users from both sites and the amount pledged which I'll forward to fork each time I update it.

Cheers

Sensational result! It says a lot about our optimism and loyalty for the success of our club. Not to mention a great membership tally for 2009.

Top effort Fork. Really appreciate your endeavour and commitment.

PS. I've already pledged on 'Ology.

Demonlanders, I'll say it one more time, this has been a fantastic experience. The union of the past couple of days has been something special and can't thank you enough for getting behind this idea. This is Melbourne, this is it's supporters getting behind the club, it's players and what they together stand for. It's also the beginning of a wonderful relationship with the Mt Theo program (which it must be said is revered throughout the Western Desert for the vital role they play with Warlpiri youth) and the wider Yuendumu community.

Now it's time for our generous donations to flood the Mt Theo coffers, lets purchase this, as Japaljarri has said, "sacred object" and present it to the Yuendumu community on behalf of the club and it's supporters.

Please follow the following easy instructions to donate your generous amounts.

The money pledged for the purchase of Liam Jurrah's debut guernsey will be donated to the Mt Theo program.

There are two ways you can make your donation.

You can do it online

or

You can visit their website and print a form which you can then post or fax.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR DONATION:

Go to the Mt Theo website: www.mttheo.org

Scroll down the page and on the right hand side you will see a blue box saying "Make a donation to our group"

This will take you to a donations page, scroll halway down the page and click on MAKE A ONE OFF DONATION

or

Just below that there is a link which you may click to print a form which you can fill out and post or fax.

When making a donation online there is a section for optional information. In this section please write "for Liam's guernsey". It would be best if you might include your name also, the idea is that a plaque will be made to honour all donors.

I was just saying the other week that it would be great if the club developed a relationship with the community of Yuendumu. I guess we've just started doing that ourselves.

Will be making a donation on Monday. Got to put some cash into the old credit card account.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
