Using the GF to raise money for good causes

Why don't we use the GF to raise some money for charities and other good causes? The idea of this thread is for people to make pledges. I don't care what it's for as long as the person making the pledge is satisfied that it's a good cause. It can be a charity, a local community group or your grandchildren's education fund. What I'm looking for are ideas for raising funds. For example, $10 per Gawn hitout; $5 for each Petracca possession; $200 for a Melbourne Premiership; $50 if Kickett kicks the first goal, etc.

Let's have some fun with the ideas and raise some money at the same time. It's purely an honour system. No-one's going to check to see whether you actually follow through. And I appreciate that everyone's circumstances are different. Even if you can't right now afford to donate, that's OK. Instead, please give ideas to those who can of what they might make pledges on.

I'll start by offering to donate $150 to Dementia Australia if we win. It's in honour of my father who was a Melbourne supporter but can no longer remember the Premierships of the 1950s and 60s.

    They'll just forget that you donated to them though.

    (Joke, joke...)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
