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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
