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.

[old dee 24,003]

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!

[hemingway 7,633]

So many things that we have taken for granted are now in doubt. In some cases, finished for good. 

Along with so many other worthy institutions and businesses, the MFC is in great peril. 

Desperate times. 

[Lord Nev 13,512]

There's a pre-draft briefing experience with Mahoney and Taylor available that you'd think would be pretty tempting for a lot of fans.

I'd prefer the post-draft experience where I get to berate them for their decisions with the benefit of hindsight.

A sign of the times. Hard times again. I’m sure a few clubs will be having a “save our skins” campaign

That Guernsey looks great

[wretched.sylph 164]

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.

 

 

[Clintosaurus 7,926]

I'm going to buy the guernsey. 

[ding 5,126]

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.

[Jaded No More 68,975]

I wish I could afford to donate. I applaud anyone who can and has.

On a tight budget as probably most are, but I think that jumper will look good framed in the living room?

Yeah and when u have finished watching us play and have a had a few beverages u go throw darts at it ? to release some frustration. 

[Vineytime 854]

Been a member for 40 years, I’ll donate more when the club actually starts to perform on field and become relevant again.
