I'll try and make it, parking is a problem. But worth the effort.

We should all wear some identifying feature. Todd Viney bandana?

catch the train/tram

[waynewussell 5,748]

Good ideas from Chippy and champagne football

[waynewussell 5,748]

Is there some way we can get a coffee van there?

I have sent and email to David Schwarz to see if he can mention the details re training on his show. I am not sure if he will? It is worth a try.

[waynewussell 5,748]

Fantastic effort champagne football!

[Jerry Lundergard 420]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but for those like me who can't make it, another way to get around the boys and give them a lift might be to use social media.

A lot of players have Twitter accounts, so those of you who are on Twitter, lets flood their feed with messages of support for this weeks game and let them know their is still plenty of love out there, and maybe in a small way lift their confidence.

[waynewussell 5,748]

Jerry Lundergard I like the way you are thinking. You might also be able to use the club's Facebook page to remind others that a special training 'event' is planned for Friday at Gosch's Paddock, 9:45am

[leehow 303]

Just sent a msg to the MFC facebook page asking them to post something on their wall regarding training on Friday and letting them know we would be trying to get as many ppl as possible down to support the boys. Not sure if they'll put it up, but definitely worth a try.

If anybody needs a coffee, there is a place in Richmond train station, a bike shop/café on other side of railway bridge, and ( I know) Westpac centre or whatever it is called these days, and there is one at AAMI Park itself. Get there early coz last week the VFL side was training before will be same this week would think, I can ask my contacts at the Club to confirm...the hairy one will be there beard and all...already promised Mark Neeld last Monday

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead.

I thought Margaret Mead was the village Miss Marple lived in?

[waynewussell 5,748]

leehow, great move!

[Satyriconhome 10,878]

Do you want me to see if Matt Burgan will put a little note on the Club website, know him quite well

[Satyriconhome 10,878]

Also I will try something on Twitter and see if it works

[waynewussell 5,748]

Satyriconhome, I know you are having a bit of fun but I thought I would add an explanation anyhow...

Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist, who was frequently a featured writer and speaker in the mass media throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Margaret Mead was a woman who blended knowledge and action. Time, in fact, named her "Mother of the World" in 1969. Fearless in the face of controversy, Mead refused to temper the passions of her positions on the (social) issues of the time.

[waynewussell 5,748]

Also Satyriconhome... definitely follow up the Matt Burgan connection... He has been sensational on the Club's site.

[waynewussell 5,748]

Oh yes, Miss Marple's village is St. Mary Mead but I digress... Back to the campaign!

[waynewussell 5,748]

Twitter and Facebook away my friends... harness the power of social media. This is the challenge, how many like-minded Demon supporters can we reach in 35 hours?

[Demonrob 2]

9-45 am A majority members work. The good old days when training was at 5 - 6 pm and members used to call into training on their way work.

Would be interesting to see what they do at training. What skills they be doing

[chookrat 4,250]

Hi Guys, Chookrat here. I will be there on Friday and am really looking forward to showing support and solidarity at our club during this challenging period. Right now I think the best thing we can do is show up in numbers at training and at games to let the players and coaches know we believe they can turn it around and will accept nothing less. Go Dees!!

[Fitz Fitzpatrick 886]

Just confirmed that I'll be getting a call from Neil Mitchell tomorrow during his show to help get as many people as possible down to training

Wizza, dead set legend mate. nice one

[waynewussell 5,748]

Demonrob, come on, you know you want to! Be naughty...

[waynewussell 5,748]

Chookrat, love the name, love the fact that you will be there

[Fitz Fitzpatrick 886]

waynewussell and wizza. love the passion.

[Lifelong Demon 75]

Lets come up with a twitter hash tag and get some trending happening.

My suggestion would be #demonunity
