On the web site it says $807,295 but that implys only $82,295 has been raised outside the debt demoltion dinner. It also has not changed for about 10 days. I was under the impression that at least another $120,000 was raised at the ball on the 22nd of August.. Anyone got more insight?

    Imguesing to be truthful but I think the figure on the webswite is interactive.. I.e its showing the debt in real time. Thats how it looks to me

    Fairly certain the figure is incorrect. Even before ball there was a post with an updated figure above (by 80-100k odd) the 807k showing on debtdemolition.com.au. Perhaps the update was incorrect, but certainly the ball raised a hefty contribution not yet accounted for.

    The figure on the website is a jpeg image, it is not interactive. It will only change when someone creates a new image and copies it over the top of the old one.

    ok ill redefine... the figure is relatively current. Not so long ago it was 700 odd thousand..then it jumped back up most likely as another debt fell due.

    Interactive then in the sense that someone does a weekly or fortnightly update...i.e. as they did with membership but not as frequent

    Funnily enough, I rang the club yesterday to find out if that was the final total that was posted. According to the woman that I spoke to they are still sifting though the final cheques etc before posting the final amount.

    god accounting takes time, as it would be embarrassing to over estimate and the revise it down, plus we have to wait for the cheques to clear and that seems to take forever whenever I get one :)

    I'm sure the total on the website doesn't reflect money raised at the ball. Were the proceeds of that definitey for DD?

    Btw, 1-2 weeks is a long time when the campaign is for 4 weeks bb :P

    EDIT: Not that I think it hasn't been updated in two weeks.

    We are still waiting... seems to be taking a hell of a lotta time.

    I think that's because payments continue to trickle in...

    And if you put a definite end date on it, then people stop donating once that is reached; why would you want to do something like that?

    Pretty sure we're just waiting for the tally to actually be updated.

    Unless we only got $1-2 for the ball either the proceeds aren't being added to debt demolition as advertised, or the tally on the site hasn't been updated for some time.

    Wow, down to approx. $1 million in debt is a great effort. Things are almost becoming manageable.

  • Quote

    Yep. With a modest profit this year and all sorts of changes successfully made, we might just be alright.

    One more big heave and we're there.

    Then we can start working forward, getting ready to maximise the exposure and commercial value of the rise up the ladder, and we'll be established, strong and looking forward to our 200th birthday and onwards.

    • 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.
