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?

Like I said, its for those that choose to. Nothin.......

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].

Nothing. Would you go?

The club should have a range of way to raise revenue from the supporter base and then we have the freedom of choice.

It's not "tacky" or tasteless. It's an option to the supporter base.

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.

sad you have no sense of humour mjt.

Genuinely sad. But so be it

Its hard to have a sense of humour after reading your 21,000 posts.

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
