    Friends/family/guests more than welcome

    Firstly… ewww I’m talking to an Essendon supporter.

    Anyways, this is a great initiative. Just wondering: can spectators make a donation on the day with a card, or is it cash only?

     

    Soz. Just noticed your original post… cash only. All good 👍🏽

    Yeah cash only on the day. I normally take the cash donations to the bank and then make the payment to the donation page. 

     

    Worst case I am happy for someone to PayID me.

    Yeah I remember these, possibly one at Glenferrie Oval back in the day? Great to hear they're being done for charity.

    Would love a crack but although I'm in category 3 with 'any sort of footy background', my spondy injury probably puts me at -3.

    Happy to chuck a donation in though 🙂

    Yeah, we used to be able to do a full day round robin back in the day.

    As for the charity game, It started off as what we thought would be a one and done as a fundraising effort for the black summer fires but morphed into a yearly thing.

    The year we did fightmnd was be far our most successful one. I do like to rotate the beneficiary but I think we will work with them again in future.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
