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!

    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.

    A week and a bit later the total is now:   $584,548.50

    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.

    Is the aim $1mil by end of year? Should make that easy if we make finals, not sure how we’ll go if we bomb out.

    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.

    Our conversion of supporters to members has always been super strong

    = low growth opportunity

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

    As a child I remember all the old Fitzroy supporters

    Deja vu is what it is

    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.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
