Has anyone got the jumper yet or know when they will arrive? I am planning to give it as a present.

Expected release date is 14th of September.

Have to sell all the space, then get them made.

    I saw that we have raised 400k at this stage, which is great. I do not think that has taken into account the sales of the jumpers, but I am yet to clarify that with the club. These are tough times for people, so any fundraising is monumental. I am not sure how this stacks up against the fundraising done by other clubs.

    I just bought of the limited edition Fuchsia New Era hat from the club website.

    Buying merchandise from the club directly also helps a lot.

    good call this, will buy something shortly.

    would have liked the jumper more if it didnt have the names on it (which defeats the point i know aha)

    Really great effort given the circumstances most people are currently facing. 

    Thank you to everyone who has donated. Makes me feel less guilty that I can't justify adding to the tally right now.

    Noticed today that Proud to Belong, Proud to Give is being auspiced by the Australian Sports Foundation, which provides this fundraising effort with DGR status and would have enabled the club to raise much of the money before the EOFY just gone. Clever.

    It's little things like this that makes me think we're pretty well run off field. I guess that's the business acumen at our club.

    Nah, I meant more that people always give at the end of the tax year, so it's clever to give them a tax deduction. That's where I try to raise much of my private money as people / corporates in my case, are much more likely to give.

    But they'll be able to claim across both tax years.

    Gotcha. Give it and get it straight back...

    It either hasn't been updated since last week or the donations have dried up considerably! Still showing $514,449.

    Hey guys,I only just found out the Dee's will be wearing the late 90s preseason Jumper later on in season but I missed out on getting one:( had one as a kid was always my favourite jumper, do you think the Club will release some more for general sale minus all the names of the people who signed up??

    I reckon members might be more inclined to start giving to a Clarkson fund...

    Either the site hasn't been updated or not a cent has been donated since last Thursday. ?

    I reckon we'll get there.

    I'm in fundraising mode myself and it just takes time.

    It was always going to be a race for the EOFY and we got half of what we wanted by then, which was a great effort by our supporters.

    Reckon at the very least we'll be $150-100k out.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
