DEBT DEMOLITION

Recommended Posts

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, DEBT DEMOLITION is back.

There's $767,000 remaining to repay our debt.

Let's hope we can knock it all off this year - I have no doubt we will.

Does anyone know if the donations to this site completely go to the club.

Yes of course they do longsuffering. The site is run by IMG who run most of the raffles etc for the club, and have run debt demolition all the way through for the club. 100% go to the club.

If you feel more comfortable speaking to someone you can call (03) 9643 1760

No, I'm happy to donate on the site but I saw the IMG logo and I just wasnt sure so I will be donating straight away. If every member donated $25 we would have this thing licked. Give what you can because if we can get rid of this this month what a a great boost it will be to Jimmy.

I believe the club bought D.D forward partly because of Tony's Banner for Jimmy.

Well done

down to our last $767,000, after having a debt of $5m 2 years ago.

I'm all for it, one last ditch effort could eradicate the debt forever.

Becoming debt free is one of the last pieces of the puzzle considering we now have great facilities, 2 homes (Casey and Olympic park), a strong sponsorship deal, 33000 members and are bursting with on field talent!

Hopefully the club will never have to go to its members for money ever again

We currently have 33,349 MFC members. If each member donates $23 dollars, we will wipe off the $767,000 debt.

Ha really not that much is it be great if everyone can 1) afford it and 2) actually do it.

I find these things usually get left up to a small number or group chipping in alot rather than alot chipping in a little!

The AFL has 2 choices.

Give us more home games against the high drawing Vic clubs or hand over the cash these clubs make playing each other at our ground.

This whole "balance" fund is corporate Bul**hit. If they balance out the draw then we could easily stand on our own 2 feet.

They like keeping some clubs poor, it makes "little" men feel powerful. It's the same crap the IMF use to keep poor countries poor and big corporations rich.

.....Steps off his soap box and heads off to watch Friday night footy.........

Not sure but i have a feeling that that payment has more strings to it than just to aid debt relief. I believe it will be a constant thing (perhaps on a more diminished basis) to help strengthen the club as they start to try to build an asset / revenue base. i may be way off the mark but that is my feeling.

The more money the club has, means there is more money that could potentially end up in the pockets of Dean Bailey and Josh Mahoney.....No thanks

Jim Stynes: "So Boss how much are you going to give to help make the club you support strong"

Boss: "None, because it will end up in the hands of Dean and Josh"

JS: No Boss it will pay off the rest of the debt so we can use the money wasted on debt repayments to further strengthen our club"

B: "Which means paying more to Dean and Josh"

JS: "No Boss you're not listening. Dean has a contract and will be receiving that money whether we pay off our debt or not, as does Josh. Now what's the real reason you don't want to help build the club, come on Boss, remember I work with troubled kids all the time I might be able to help"

B: "No one on Demonland likes me or takes me seriously so I just say stupid things to try and [censored] them off"

JS: "But Boss why don't you try engaging them in intelligent conversation and debate and try getting your point across that way"

B: "I suppose so Jim"

JS: "So how much are you going to give to DD this time around"

B: "Probably around $100, but don't tell anyone"

JS "I won't Boss, I'll let you do that when you feel like becoming an active and useful member of Demonland"

You will find that the AFL will want to remove all assistance to the clubs in future & will expect ALL to stand on their own two feet (except maybe GC17 & W/Sydney for a while). With the debt gone & pokies money coming into our coffers, we won't have a problem in the next 5 years.

FFS that is the WORST post i have read on here in 5 years! You are a disgrace, Say those words in front of Stynesy...Nah you would wet your pants wouldn't ya.

I don't think you are even a melbourne supporter and never have, and if you are well i wish you weren't.

Your Avatar gives me the creeps as well.

Lets get rid of this debt & Take on the Big Teams again....

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
