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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
