Demonland Donations

I'm starting this thread because Andy is too much of a gentleman to ask for some help to run this site.

Everyone of us has benefited by the the conversations, banter, humour, despair, joy and excitement of being part of this site.

What else would we be doing during the off-season without our daily dose of Demonland?

To the point, the site costs money to run.  You have all seen the value of the new software that Andy and Nasher have installed.  And guess who paid for that?

What everyone doesn't see is the extra time and labour and tweaking which then has to be done to make it all work.

"Demonland is a Melbourne Football Club fan site powered by fans for the fans. There are many costs associated in bringing you this site. We offer Lifetime and Annual subscriptions so that you can contribute to the running of the site but we are also aware that there are people who want to contribute but can only afford a little bit or have already contributed and want to again. If you would like to make a donation to Demonland it would be greatly appreciated and will go towards running and maintaining this website. "

So without Andy having to ask, perhaps we can all show our gratitude and thanks by tipping in a little toward the target of $2,000.

 

EDIT: Changed the target to $2,000 which is what it cost Andy to purchase the new software. 

Here's starting it off with $100

Now that the site has been up dated i seem to have lost the info on when my subscription is due.

Can anyone help?

I can help you with that. I will get back to you shortly. We are currently upgrading the subscription software and it will be online and available soon. I will start up a separate thread when that is ready.

I agree 100% george.  As I said in another thread, I'm an interstate member, and Demonland is my football 'lifeline'.  Long may it prosper, but that won't happen without a hell of a lot of hard work by the dedicated Administrators, and the generosity good will of Demonlanders generally.

Im a life member which was pretty cheap a couple of years back.

If I pay 10cents per hour I read this site, Thats at least 1 hour a day. (sometimes 3) Times 7 equals $.70 a week.

Times 52 = $36.40 a year.

Ive tried to wean myself off Demonland, but like MFC Ive been too long in the wasteland and Im rusted on.

I can easily donate another $36.

Cheers. Thank you guys. Your generosity is very much appreciated. Forked out $200 for a club raffle ticket today. Who wants to go to LA with me if I win?

I think their raffles have predetermined results, just like how they reward Melbourne based members that attend every home game and not interstate members who continually renew their membership, and offer incentives to new members.

 

just my thoughts....

That is so generous of you guys. Thank you so much. It is very much appreciated.

Here is a link. http://demonland.com/forums/clients/donations/

There is a link on the homepage too.

Cheers Andy. Happy to contribute.

After so many raffles, I reckon I'm well overdue for a prize this year. 

The closest I've come was the China Southern Airlines promotion at the G. My paper plane missed by a bees digit, thanks to a wind shift surrounding the G. Well that's my POV anyway :)

OMG when I went to the donation site it said the total reached was $666. I immediately panicked and tried to add another 50 to get away from that infernal number but the process keeps jamming on a 'share location' pop up. Have tried exiting and starting again three times, but the same thing happens.

That infernal number is my fault. Apologies Doc. #dontpanic

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
