Let's do it Demonlanders:  MFC Round for Reach

 

Just donated, hopefully the MFC can forge a close relationship with Reach they are a fantastic organisation born from one of our own

I wonder if we will advertise them on the back of our jumpers?

I'm glad it wasn't called 'Reach Round'.

Just watched Max promote Reach on AFL 360 and got a bit emotional when they showed the footage of Jim giving Max his jumper. Jim came and presented to us back when I was in middle school and it really had an effect on me. He was a great man.

One of Max's more serious interviews, and it was great. I'm not the most emotional bloke, but the Jimmy footage did get to me a tad. 

Yep pretty emotional clip that 1 

The jimma presentation..

I would have thought Melbourne would have made more of this. 

$17,951.70

Raised of our $22,000 goal

I hope people donate tomorrow. Surely people can donate a bit more than $11. Need to smash that 22k. Jim and Reach helped so many people and we need to keep on supporting his fine work.

Amazing coincidence: 

• $26,000 raised before the game
• $11,000 at the game
• $37,000 Total

A very fitting outcome - as the article points out:  "Coincidentally, ‘37’ and ‘11’ were significant numbers for Reach’s co-founder, the late, great Jim Stynes, who wore No.37 in his first VFL/AFL match for Melbourne in 1987, before shifting to his regular No.11 the following year".

I think Jimmy would be rather chaffed that mfc is supporting Reach and amused that '11' and '37' featured prominently!
