Anyone seen the recognition wall on the page for $50+ donations? There's only 60 names on there! I'll put it down to just not being updated for a while!

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

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!

The Guernsey looks awesome and I will chip in to get one. That being said, I'm really sorry to hear about fellow Demonlanders that are struggling at the moment

Well at least it's not just me then! Don't want to make this a self indulgence exercise but after a few hundred bucks of donating it would be nice!

If you cannot do a list well don't do it all. I spent all my working life in sales and the adage I clung to was under promise and over deliver.

I’d say it hasn’t been updated in a while because the total is still stuck at $514,449 donated.

If we make finals, we definitely raise $1mill. If we don't and fall in a heap, we probably won't raise the money. No wonder Bartlett gave his spray. Performance in such a difficult economic environment is linked with financial stability when others may struggle.

I think the Burgo factor could be really important and he'll service his own wage in more ways than one this year.

I don't know if this has been mentioned here and can't be bothered reading back to check, but there was an age article a few days ago that said we have had the least membership refunds of any club this year.  Less than 100.  We may not have the biggest membership base, but we have the best.

= low growth opportunity

Let's face it the demographics of the club are ageing.

As a child I remember all the old Fitzroy supporters

That's because 13k of them never signed up in the first place!

If we had played our first game at the M.C.G we would had a lot more, people seem to like buying their memberships at the ground.

Next year even if it's not our home game we should be asking for our first match to be played at the G.

The club needs to start winning a lot more games, or i feel they will not be spending their $$$ on a membership for the club.

Money going firmly where mouth is. Donation made.

Would actually be up for the pledge per win thing till the end of the season, might have to be slightly smaller increments though :P

I feel very proud of all those supporters who donated.   Such a poor year and they still put their hands in their pockets.   At the same time I feel a bit sad for them because the club continues to fail them.

Mines still awaiting fulfillment, looking forward to it! I wonder how they plan on running the draft experience as well.

Aren't they playing in this jumper as well this weekend?

 

Edit: it appears on close examination my name isn't on the jumper either, disappointing.

2nd Edit: chance it could be on the back of the jumper.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
