I posted this in the Demons' Donations thread but it occurred to me it may not attain its widest potential audience in there, so am repositing it here as well.

"I have an idea

Despite dippin's me hand in pocket  and casting a few more shekels  D'land's way  I see they are still short of ideal.

As this is December...the month of Christmas  I thought Id do a little something to help  ongoing...at least for a while

It's nothing big, nor anything particularly outrageous or taxing.

Every week I will donate a coffee...well its' value ( $5 )  and I'll keep doing that until we can all get this across the line

I'm sure if enough of us can forego just one coffee a week we'll smash that 2000 mark in no time

Who's with me ? "

If only a couple dozen people did this for a month we'd do it !

How about it...'Tis the season....Ho Ho Ho :)

    I love your generosity 'bub, but unfortunately it's likely to be beyond my pocket.  I'm assuming of course, that the "this"  in the highlighted text refers to # 13. (lol)

    Yep, I'm in.

    Except I will donate $100 worth all at once for ease of accounting and not because my wife is less likely to notice a once off Demonland payment than 20 seperate ones.

    Well we've seemed to have attained the 2000 goal with a real surge.

    I might still throw in the equivalent of a coffee a week for a few more months. Give the lads some breathing room :)

    It should do

    It will direct you to PayPal but there is then the option to use a card. I did.

    Notify the club and put the players on notice.

    Missed set shot (straight in front) on goal - $20

    Dropped mark (sitter) - $20

    Out on the full - $50

    Squibbing the contest - $100

     

    Bit of a rough guide, keep a running total, players to pay at seasons end.

    Is that a matter of putting the horse before the carrot, 'bub?

    We got rid of Bail - That's $20 we won't get.

    Dawes we will make money here. Lots of $20.

    Grimes his disposal will give us a grand.

    I have seen training this year that won't happen in 2016.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
