PAY SO HE CAN PLAY

[Jaded No More 68,913]

As part of trying to bring the Newton hysteria to all new levels, Demonland is proud to launch the Michael Newton Pledge.

The idea is as follows; pledge as much or as little money as you can afford to donate to the club, if Newton debuts this week.

Here are the rules:

1- Money will only be taken if Newton actually gets a game

2- If you pledge money in this thread, you have to follow through and pay up

3- All money goes directly to the MFC to help fund our new facilities and such

4- We will try and generate as much publicity as we can about this, maybe even get the papers involved

This is a good way to generate some much needed money for the club.

We don't expect it to actually work, but who knows...

Remember, if you want him to play, you gotta pay.

[Jaded No More 68,913]

I'll start with $50.

If Newton kicks more than 3 goals, I'll raise it to $100.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

As said in previous post im down for $20.

Can you post list and or running amount.

Yep, will do.

[CARN THE DEES! 14]

How do we go bout paying?

Cause im keen (besides the fact i have no money) just would like 2 know this

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Yeah Jaded i'll double it too if he kicks 3 or more.

Hopefully all payment details and such will be posted a little later on.

I'll get back to ya... in the meantime, pledge away people as the sooner we raise the money, the sooner we can start publicising the cause.

$25

$50 if he kicks 2 or more :-)

Ok im sold

I'll give $15 dollars for his debut and another $10 if he kicks 3 and a futher $5 if he kicks a goal with his first kick.

potentially $30

pretty good for a man who has no money

I am [censored] off that when Newton finally gets to play, he is going to be under extreme pressure with all this massive build up, instead of being slotted in about 6 or 7 weeks ago like he should have.

So, although i can afford a pledge. I won't on the grounds of not wanting to put the kid under undue pressure.

This has nothing to do with pressure. He'll be under pressure regardless of when or where, or how much money he'll raise on debut.

This is actually a way of getting money out of Melbourne supporters. We're just disguising it

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

its not really putting the kid under pressure its more the point that he DESERVES his spot and we are willing to pay $$$ to watch the kid, possibly the only way he will get a game

[Jerry Lundergard 420]

This is the kinda stuff though, that will turn up on the radio or mainstream press. Don't you think that will create even more pressure?

[waynewussell 5,739]

$20 from me and $10 for each goal on debut

[beelzebub 23,364]

I dont see he'll be under any more pressure than jsut being selected...might chuff him a little to realise we have faith even when the coach doesnt !!

[beelzebub 23,364]

spread the word folks..

[demonsflag555657 3]

Ill put in 10 dollars it might be the only way to see the kid play

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

This is great. id love to see us raise a minimum of $500.

Any more and it would be a bonus!

[brey9186 102]

$20 if he plays

$10 if he kicks a goal with first kick

$10 For 3 or more

this is gunna get big :D

[AFI 3]

As I said in the other thread, I'm in for $20.

Great idea guys.

[Little Goffy 14,531]

All right, $10 just because I've never seen the guy play, and because it'd be worth that much to watch everyone here go stark raving mad.

Another $5 for each quarter of the game that he actually spends time on the ground instead of the bench - lets put pressure on him being given a decent go, not on the kid to kick goals, right?

And if they give him a run at the Manuka Oval game against Sydney, I'll personally hand it over with an extra $20 at the after match function!

Oh crap. Did I just commit to up to $50?

I'm a freakin' student for christs sake!

Manuka oval against the swans might be a good place for him actually - not much you can do there except bang it long and hope, so his speccies would be worth the trouble.

[beelzebub 23,364]

what are we up to ?

[mikeod 21]

So far a total of:

Demonland $290

Demonology $250

$540 so far in total...

Just to note, all money will go to the Demonology/Demonland 150 Club. Money will sent directly to the club with a form, which I will send to all those who have pledged via email.

To get this form in advance, email me at [email protected]

And that's before he even kicked a goal!

Good job everyone, that's money the club could really use.

Anything that helps the club financially is fine by me but surely the club doesn't need to have monetary inducements to give any particular player a game. Besides which, isn't this likely to put even more pressure on the kid if he's supposed to be fragile or whatever?
