If that's the way that people believe that we should go, I think those who are interested in setting up the trust should meet up after a game and work out the logistics of how it would work.

I'd suggest at a minimum we'd need to set up a bank account, a website and the actual trust deed.

We'd also need to appoint people to manage the trust and work out the terms of the trust.

It's a lot of work to set up the organisation, but if we've got a number of people who are willing to share the load, it's definitely doable and could generate some great publicity for the club and help get Melbourne fans more engaged and involved in the club.

Step 1: Get the cash

Step 2: Casino

Step 3: put it all on black

Please note that Voldermort's dad will be in the food court so at a stab all food and drink's will be sold out.

Let's not get too complex. I think the easiest way is to set up a site through the club and have donations (with a tally board) under the banner of "Supporter Aliance" (or whatever it gets called). Depending on feedback from the club, maybe we should set a target figure to reach, even if we don't reach that amount the club still has that money as a donation at the very least.

This keeps the whole process clean and simple.

Do we have to set up the site?

If we do I can offer free hosting for EVER. If we dont have a web designer in our midst I could get something going.

If we need to buy a domain name I'm happy to donate that for free. ie mfcsupporteraliance.com

If we need SEO I will have it splashed all over the net within a week or two. I can also handle the social media from a set-up basis.

All sounds good. Give me the Easter weekend to suss a few things out and then hopefully get in contact with the club and get feedback.

No problems - just let me know.

If anyone can think of a better name or even a logo (anyone with Photoshop skills) please feel free to share. I want this to be about the supporters as much as possible so the more input the better.

Well done CB. I'm in, but it needs to be named and 'branded' as a NEW proud supporter alliance in recognition of the stance for integrity taken by the MFC. If it got media attention, which would require a spokesperson, and preferably someone with some profile from our celebrity supporter list (e.g. Hamish Blake, Russell Howcroft......), then it would make the club more attractive for potential sponsors. A way to use this disaster to strengthen the profile of the club as one of uncompromising values beyond football.

Before Jimmy gave us the benefit of his credibility when he took up the Presidency, it was constantly bandied around that we stood for nothing......well out of this mess, and Jimmy's legacy, we could have our 'brand' right here........ and who wouldn't want to be associated with that?

No, it wasn't.

And I wish the club had a Support Alliance Donation Tally on the website to show how much we give beside our membership dues.

Yes many of us give beyond our membership dues. I think this "Supporter Alliance Donation Tally (SAD Tally)" is an excellent idea. Might need to change the title - though seems fitting given the current context!

The footy dept may be a good area to bolster right now.

The Demons insist they will not have to ask the AFL for top-up funding as a result of axing its cornerstone $6million sponsorship deal.

McLardy said the Demons were ‘‘loath’’ to cut football spending, though this has not been ruled out. The club still hoped to reach its budgeted ‘‘small profit’’ this year and had already activated ‘‘contingency plans’’ to deal with the enormous loss of revenue.

‘‘We don’t want to go into a debt again and we’d be certainly working hard not to do that,’’ McLardy said.

Seems Greg Denham is trying to torpedo this idea on SEN this morning.

All the more reason for me to get behind it, what an arrogant [censored].

What did he say?

He was rambling on about Mitch Clark being the highest paid player at the club and then he made an off handed comment that he didn't know why suppporters would want to put money in trying to link the 2. Yep, I know it is a 2 + 2 = 8 argument that doesn't stack up. Then he mentioned Leigh Mathews name to justify what he was saying. I think Leigh might be back tracking a bit after Hudson was subbed off last night.

I really think there is a big issue with Greg Denham and Cam Schwab so he sinks the boot whenever he can.

I know it's Good Friday, but do we still have any Moderators?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
