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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
