.... and when we hit the 47 point margin, thousands of Essendon supporters streamed out of the G and missed their revival. Unfortunately I stayed to the end!

I've been watching Trac's dribbled goal in the third quarter and noticed that, in the marking contest that led to the goal, Tom got in front of the 2 WB defenders to prevent them from marking or spoiling effectively, and may even have palmed the ball down in front of Trac, resulting in Trac's amazing goal.

At the Carlton game a bloke a few rows behind me was calling him 'Spartacus'.

Article in The Age this morning that the total is now around $2.8 million raised from an estimated 1,400 supporters, http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/new-...9516471698.html While the total is great, I am devastated that only 1,400 have donated. That is a very low percentage of our members, let alone our supporter base. I hope Jimmy and Gary hit the media and come on the Footy Show to encourage ALL of our members and supporters to make sure that they give something, even if it is only $5 or $10 dollars.

I've just made a $50 donation and it is fantastically simple. I'll wait to see what other ideas the club comes up with but by the end of the month I plan to have put in at least $260 - to match the cost of our memberships (me and my two kids). Come on Demonlanders - no negativity please - just generosity.
