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 wonder if people will start asking for money back?

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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
