Actually, I don't mind this ... since it looks more like a statement about the MRP and its inconsistencies (wasn't Gibson fined $1000 only a week ago for a second striking offence for the year?) rather than some sort of endorsement of the grievous crime of wrestling.

What a bunch of "all talk-ers" you blokes are.

As explained, clearly Nathan Jones doesn't need the money, and it's not going to him anyways because it can't.

It's a symbolic show of support for the spirit shown this year and the weekend's game in particular.

It's funny, the facebook groups have got right behind it and understand the nature of it, yet good old 'Land just have a whinge as usual.

To be fair, that's largely because the facebook groups are chock-full of absolute simps.

It's just a symbolic show of support, it's no big deal, it won't even be much money, it's like the little kid who sent Wattsy his pocket money.

I'll buy the whole club a round of drinks when they deliver our first flag in over 50 years...

My annual membership and weekly attendance should do the rest.

I don't believe rewarding mediocrity breeds success.

I liked what Jonesy did and the fine for it was ridiculous.

How about 'Pledge per Wrestle.'

I have no problem with this. It's no different than the "pay per win " the club organises.

A group of supporters decoded that they would like to donate to the cub in appreciation of our boys showing some sort of effort and fight on field.

It is humorously aimed at raising $1000 to meet the cost of the fine, but will on fact be donated to the club footy department.

Yep. Typical Demonland response. Should of known better.

Back to the endless Dawes/Watts/Drafting threads then hey.

Raise your keyboards ye knights of Demonland...

Sorry you didn't get the response you wanted. Isn't an amazing thing that people have differing opinions although, a fairly homogenous one about you.

What's next? Stuie serving the next two week suspension that one of our players gets?

Actually that's an idea I can get behind...

Could we campaign to make it longer? Two weeks feels a bit light. We don't want to get off easy.

Exactly typifying it right there McQueen.

Facebook gets behind it and "gets it", Demonland just sooks about each other and the club rather than actually considering doing something.

But I'm sure you feel like a bigger man now hey? Nice one.

Just delete this thread mods.

Would half the people on these Facebook pages be able to afford putting something in? Most of them seem to be 14 year old kids who want to talk rubbish or spout unsubstantiated rumours that they got from their friends turtles cab driver.

This below is what we should be focusing on:

I don't know what paying Jones' fee achieves. You wrestled someone for 10 seconds so we'll pay for your fine? Seems misguided to me Stu. I applaud this 'toughness' but I'll tip something in when the club actually does something come September.

Mate it's just a cheeky thing some of use thought would be a funny way to show our support.

People are just tipping $2 - $5 each, so it's not a big deal.

Think some of you have forgotten about the joy of following footy and prefer the misery and complaining.

I get the cheeky part.

But if there are enough of you on Facebook who can put in that sort of money then wouldn't it be better spent on things that can be used around the club, rather than on a fine that is like loose change to someone like Nate Jones? Just a suggestion.

And disagreeing isn't the same as complaining. Some actually agreed, others thought it was silly. That's the nature of the beast.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
