Pledge per Win


Sir Why You Little

Recommended Posts

And what your asking for has nothing to do with the win pledge.

It's just a means by which some supporters choose to provide additional support to the Club.

Nothing more.

And what a few on here are saying is that they are frustrated there is another fundraising inititative aimed at a tapped resource.

Nothing more.

I don't object - how could I? - to those supporters who want to kick in a bit more. Hell, at $20 a win, if we win ten games that would be about 0.08% of the average player's annual wage. Many a mickle makes a muckle.

To those who point out that it's not compulsory - duh! A previous poster called this club initiative "tacky", and so it is.

What's wrong with a pie night?

May be we can have a pie night in 2018 after our Captain holds up the Premiership Cup

I don't get the angst but each to their own. What i would say is that whilst we're forced to sell 2 games a year to the NT we are going to have to keep finding ways to raise revenue.

As someone said (Nasher?) its just a glorified tin ratlle and no more or less tacky than the raffle at the ground, the competitions they ask you to pay to enter or the scratchies they [censored].

It's an option open to die hard supporters who can afford a little more than they normally give.

If you cannot afford more or can't stomach the request, ignore the email.

Why whinge or moan about it.

Some supporters want to see change before we go giving our hard earned away.

You do understand the scheme don't you ? Give away hard earned is predicated on there being change and that change is winning !

The huge lift in spirit I get when we win, no matter what else is happening around me is worth another 20bucks out of my kick.

Nothing like, particularly early in the weekend.

Some years ago when the NBL was played in winter it was wonderful to go to the basketball on Friday night and come away with a win ( tigers used to do that regularly then ). It set up the weekend nicely.

Has not happened with the Dees in living Memory.

No Friday nights and no wins at any time of the weekend tends to make winter weekends bleak.

Any win makes me feel euphoric but even a Saturday win sets up Saturday night and Sunday soooo nicely

We just need to look at it with an 'each to their own' objectivity.

Me personally, cannot afford to be giving 20$ per win to the club. I'd spend that minimum each time I go to the game, and for 10 wins, personally I'd prefer to buy $200 of merchandise.

To those who can and want to donate brilliant, thanks for adding to the coffers!

I think some who can't or don't want to donate feel like they're being pressurised into doing it. Being a supporter isn't a competition and he who donates the most money is not the 'best' supporter. It's simply a fun mechanism the club introduce to differentiate from the standard, would you like to donate to the club email.


I won't be donating to this scheme, and I don't give a hoot who does or doesn't.

If you're willing to waste your hard earned time talking red and blue with me and every other headcase on here, you're doing something for the club. And every bit helps.

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
