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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
