I've visited the Mfc Website. Isn't August the month of Debt Demolition? There is nothing on the Home Page about this.

Is there a link to where to make a donation? Haven't found one yet.

I'd like the ball to start rolling. the Aim was a reported $1 million to be raised to wipe off more debt for the club.

If anyone knows please post a link as soon as you come accross it, can we also pin it up.

Afterall, it's important in order to get ahead of the pack.

Cheers

    Thankyou. very clever of you.

    You think there would be a link at 5th of August to start with. Still, I'm sure everything will go swimmingly.

    Fwiw, Debt Demolition and the URL were advertised on the scoreboard during the Melb v Rich game.

    Correct. I'm referring to the website in particular. It was well advertised last year. Just something that I think needs some exposure.

    Now appearing as the top link in the picture box on melbournefc.com.au

    Still haven't decided what my contribution will be this year, but if a poor uni student like myself can scratch together a few cents then surely we can co-operatively get rid of this $2 Million debt!

    The meter is currently standing at $726,990. I NEVER want to hear anyone in the media EVER AGAIN say that Melbourne supporters are not passionate about their club.

    Sensational! Thanks Brett.

    Brian Taylor, Mark Robinson, Mark Stevens take note!!! I'm sure there is others.

    The Debtometer - looking to raise $2Million, wouldn't it be great if Melbournefc and its supporters were able to wipe off alll the debt and start fresh for 2010 with an exciting side. We would be on the up big time.

    Go DEES!!

    Interesting quote from Bailey from this article by Matt Burgan, speaking about onfield success: -

    "I would like to think we'll get there a little bit quicker than what people might think," Bailey said.

    An exciting year next year nevertheless.

    Going well isn't it.

    That debt, we're "slapping it like it's a red haired stepson"

    careful, we like them at Melbourne.

    I'm secretly hoping we manage to snare Gary Rohan too

    (...not so secret now)

    I'll be happy if we get much over $1M.

    Then we can demolish the debt in 2010.

    Is that based on another month of debt demolition or based on a bumper year in terms of profit? Do you think the club will continue it as an annual event? Or do you think those that donate would soon like to see more 'bang for their buck?'

    That would be good, I think the prizemoney for winning the Pre season cup is around $250,000 or thereabouts.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
