Pledge per Win

Featured Replies

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

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.

you know what's funny about this credit 10 years have pledged present and anybody can you let you know why good morning funny when team is winning the one completed at the things which team is losing or so did you start complaining

This makes more sense than most things I read on Demonland!

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.

 

if the team was winning no 1 would be complaining about the pledge

Whats winning?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
