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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5
