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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
