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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
