To be completely honest OD, I do not possess a cheque book :-) I do however participate in club auctions and have purchased a number of items that when combined with memberships for myself and my son, make my contribution not less than significant. I will always give to this club and will only cease to support them when they throw that last shovel full of dirt over my cold body.

The cost of my traveling down to Melbourne with my son for round one (fares, accommodation, food etc) to support my team at the game, unfortunately reduce my ability to give much at the moment, but that is the lot of being an interstate supporter.

Probably me too hardtack but my fear is I will still be alive at the funeral of the MFC

The cheque book was a joke mate as you probably guessed.

If you are going I would love to know what is said.

Wow. I assumed were ancient old dee, but it never occurred to me that you might be immortal.

Gee Old Dee, you really do like to rain on every parade don't you, as WC Fields said, "the reports of my death are exaggerated" same with MFC

I'll try to keep a record of what he says and put it up here... however, the problem I have is that purely by coincidence, before hearing about this NSW Demons night, I had already agreed to go out for a night of drinking and eating (think Bacchanalian) with colleagues from a former workplace at the very same venue (King Street Brewhouse).

As that "party" starts to happen after Don's talk, I am not sure what amount of data loss there will be due to corruption of my last remaining brain cells (James Squire beers are a bit of a weakness of mine). I'm not even sure if Don is going to be doing a stand up presentation, or if it will be something far less formal involving something as simple as chatting over a beer... maybe I should put my iPhone in dictaphone mode?

Forget the data loss looking forward to comprehensive report after recovery session completed

I'm sure you will enjoy it hardtack. From my experience Don is a great bloke, only too happy to chat about our/his beloved Dees, and a straight shooter. Ask him a question and he will give you an honest answer.

Yes DOF... I was at the Canberra meet the night before the GWS game last year and found him to be a very affable, open person. I recall meeting you very briefly (I was there with my 10 year old son and my partner).

Wow. I assumed were ancient old dee, but it never occurred to me that you might be immortal.

Mate I cannot imagine being immortal too horrible to contemplate.

Imagine having to go through another 48 years like the last 48.

I think of myself as old by comparison to many on here but old is a very subjective thing.

I can guarantee you I am not ancient.

Don't get too comfortable about the MFC's long term survival.

Right now we are one of the poorest clubs, with a poor list, a $500 000 debt before the season starts and low support.

That is not a great spot to be in as an AFL team

Wow. I assumed were ancient old dee, but it never occurred to me that you might be immortal.

Why not? Statistics can prove it...

Over half of the people ever born on this Earth are still living. Ergo, immortality is more likely than mortality.

Mate....10 years ago I would have agreed with you......but now I am much more confident that our club will not only suvive but it can prosper

I see that Carlton and Collwood have debts in the millions...and there are a lot of clubs worse off than us.....Slowly but surely we are becomming relevant.....Just need a few wins...

In the case of Carlton they have a couple of mighty benefactors, a good list and good support.

I don't believe the Pies have much in the way of debt that is not covered by assets, a good list and they have hugh following / support.

We are so far behind those two we cannot hear the band.

But I do agree we need wins and lots of them in 2014

I do not want immortality.

Imagine out living your Children and Grand Children what a horrible thought.

But they are still in debt.......

Did you see the profit the Pies made last year millions.

I think ours was a few thousand.

I remember hardtack. It was a good night.
