Count me in, I have plenty of old stuff to donate, hate to part with any of it, but it's a great idea worth supporting.

another thought i had would be to set up a yuendumu scholorship/rookie program, maybe one or two kids from up there a year could come for a set time, spend some time with davey, jurrah ect, play a few games with casey reserves ect, with the idea of rookie listing them

Hey guys just to let you know that Melbourne have made contact with us here at Yuendumu FC and we are definitely looking at building a positive relationship into the future (hopefully in conjunction with RudeBoys Industrial Magpies Group whom we have had a great relationship and friendship with for 5 or 6 years). Melbourne, most particularly Ian Flack, have been hugely supportive of Liam and Yuendumu.

As far as gear goes we only have 2 games left in our current season in Alice and have a decent current kit. Jumpers would definitely come in handy for our Summer competition - Liam actually grabbed us some training gear early this year which was used in the Yuendumu Summer Comp. From Jan - April we have a Yuendumu based Summer comp which sees Yuendumu Magpies split into 3 local teams (Souths, Allies, Dockers) as well as nearby Nyirripi and Willowra Communities (also the Warlpiri tribe) and Mt Allan Community (Anmatjere tribe). We just play matches every afternoon and its effectively our pre-season training for the Alice Springs CAFL! You can see details about the Summer Comp for the last few years on the website www.yuendumumagpies.com.

Wondering if anything came of this idea?

I've got a couple of old shirts that will otherwise be going of to the Salvos.

Could it be as simple as getting an postal address in Yuendumu?

I can donate too... great idea

OK, back on board after a short break and ready to get this going.

Firstly, everyone happy that I use my personal postal address as the collection point? I realise there is an element of trust here and just want to confirm no one has an issue with this. Secondly, I am based in Brisbane which may present a logistical hurdle. If someone Melbourne based wants to take over I'm more than happy to let them.

I will keep an inventory somewhere on demonwiki to keep some transparency to the process. Once we have an idea what we have to send, we will address the issue of how to get everything to Yuendumu.

I've got a few Demon jumpers (kids sizes), scarves, etc; I've also got a few pair of footy boots that my boys have outgrown if they would be interested in those, they're welcome to them. I think the kids might prefer to play barefoot though but they're here if they want them.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
