I'd love to see the club erase the debt this season. However, going on last season's wipeoff, it may take another fundraiser in addition to this year's to see it totally wiped.

Will all depend on how the Team Performs, if they pull of some great wins-you watch the supporters wake up. We have a very large dormant following out there.

    Have the new stickers been sent out yet? I haven't received any.

    The new stickers 'should be' with the Season Preview which is due in the next couple of days, the stickers were replaced at no cost to the Club, company who manufactured had to cover (From Membership meeting I attended)

    I agree - 2011 a realistic goal.

    Is the phrase 'you can only go to the well so many times'?

    I'm not sure if it is, but I'm sure you understand what I'm saying.

    I vaguely remembered something like this being a big focus in the pre-season, and lo and behold, our aim for this year was to be about $750,000 in debt:

    "We are quite ambitious with regard to where we hope to be at the end of the year," Schwab told The Sunday Age.

    "We would like to be well under $1 million by the end of the year."

    Well we smashed that, didn't we? And we thought it was 'ambitious' to aim for a debt of under $1 million! Shows how far this club has come, and how damn well we're doing under the Stynes-Schwab administration.

    welcome HT

    time zones aside... i love d'land... its my connection back to the real world. being so far away from it, this is the first year ive gotten into these forums (always read, never contributed-- and it seems my contribution is only for small things like timezones!) but im so grateful for it.

    sometimes i wish i could filter it, but i read most threads.

    keep up the good work, lock out the d'heads and GO DEES!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
