Proud to Belong, Proud to Give

I've donated in the past but can't afford more than a few dollars now due to job losses in the family. I hope others in more fortunate positions can help the club out.

Just donated, I would normally spent more than this going to games in a season.

Add I am hopelessly rusted on to the MFC. 
Can we please win some games or disband.

One of the two please!

Have followed your lead OD......Donated..... and so rusted on we can't move.!

A "Proud to Belong Guernsey" with Nev Jetta's number on it will some day be mine. A great idea from the club -- mementos are good.

A few weeks back i got a skinfull and sent an email to the club offering to make a donation. Never got a reply. This just [censored] me off, especially when i was sober. The club had a an offer of extra money and they didnt follow up. Unforgivable really. Since then i have received bills for

A : Car insurance      $650

B : Rego                      $716

C : Car repairs            $1500 (Thermostat housing and a couple of other smaller jobs. Its a 120,000 klm car ok)

D : Set of Tyres           $720

Im a part time Nurse who, while one of the lucky ones to still have a secure job, isnt on a huge quid.  ( I feel for the poor ba5tards who are out of work, or constantly worrying if their job will be there next week)

The club should have struck while the iron was hot, and i still had whiskey left.

I would love to get one of the jumpers, i really would. Maybe i could use the retention bonus that Aged care workers are supposed to get over the next few months.

Come on Demonlanders, convince me to spend the dough. Should i just say "What the hell" and spend the $250 even though im a tight-[censored] who still cant trust the Club perform like it should after so many rebuilds?

Maybe i should just say "if we win the next 2 games i will buy one" or some [censored] like that.

Come at me.

Member since 1998 just after the failed merger... yet our club has gone around in circles for 2 decades not getting their house in order to meet the current challenges. We have seen debt demolition in the late 00s, the debt that PJ inherited and yet another 1.5 mill loss last year. Before I get shot down yes I will donate but it ever so frustrating seeing Hawthorn who built a war chest prior to their flag in 08 and continued to do so!

Fulfilling 4 family memberships on top of my MCC membership given my wife has lost her job, is more than enough as far as I’m concerned.

Hope they get a strong response however, from those that can afford it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
