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

Do I interpret that to mean there will be two different jumpers produced? If so, wouldn't that diminish the value of the jumper?

Mind you, Rick Milne has a small piece each Saturday in The Age where he values sporting memorabilia. It's fair to say according to his advice that most sporting memorabilia produced today doesn't have much value, at least in a monetary sense. I also appreciate that many people buy memorabilia for the same reason they buy memberships - that is to support the club financially. 

I’m not sure mate but I’m one who just buys it to support the club not to make a financial gain.

Any one know what the donations total is?  Can't seem to find it on the website.  iirc the goal was $1.0m by Christmas.

The web site has very little on anything LH, no info on training times, player injuries, nothing but a few fluff pieces. This is in my IMO the result of reduced staff levels. 2021 will see us with less info than normal from the site. We will have to work around it for info.

Or maybe the club doesn't want to say if we missed the $1m target (before Christmas) by some margin.  Otherwise I see no reason to not put it on the website - they put stuff and fluff up for all sorts of things.

The $1m was a key part of being a 'non-assisted' AFL club.  They might be a good questions to ask tomorrow night...btw any idea how questions are asked tomorrow night.

You have to send them in on a form from the original email. You had to nominate if you wanted that part and they would send a log in address. So far with 24 hours to go I have not received anything. I will ring them tomorrow if nothing turns up by mid morning.

Well it is 9.30 on the morning of the Zoom and no email as yet. I hope I am wrong but this looks like disaster written all over it. I will ring a bit later. Trying to think positive.

Thanks od.

I looked at the emails from the club and they said 'Registrations' close on Dec 8.  No idea if that is significant.  There isn't much on the website.

I guess it is now too late to ask questions.

Staffing levels aside, the fan forum is far too important for the club to not post updates/reminders/question forms on the website rather than makes us trawl thru emails or make phone calls.

I replied the first day the email arrived. Anyway I will ring and see what the go is.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
