Apparently he is worth 1.8 Billion.

3.23 billion actually, has increased his worth by 1 billion in the last year alone . . .

Hope it's Gandel but doubt it . . .

There's a Freemason's private hospital. Maybe to save money we're getting a deal done with said hospital, given that half our list is in and out of doctors on a regular basis

We could save thousands in medical bills and groin tablets

LOL Groin tablets?

If i had 3.23 Billion, I throw 1 Billion at Melbourne, and turn us into a superpower.

*dreams on*

Guy Jalland works for and is very close to the Murdoch's and Packers.

A long time ago both of these families were #1 ticket holders of Melbourne.

Think his inclusion on the board is pretty obvious.

Dad has been on this blokes back for ages to join the 150 club and to kick some of his sizeable fortune into the club. He has had other priorities in his life of late, and just didn't think that in the past they were on the right track. I guess guys like Stynes just have a certain knack at getting money from people who would not otherwise get involved.

Please..again I draw no conclusion and no aspersion meant ( probably none taken ..just in case ) just curious. That would indeed be a fair enough reason and, hey his money. All sounds good. Hope all this comes about. Curiosu whom it is. Still s'pose a little time will illumiminate

none taken. I would like to tell people,as would dad but seriously we can't and it will happen. Hopefully it is actually a first instalment as well.

To be honest I really doubt his name would mean much to most anyway. He is not what you would consider a household name for many.

Some great news guys.

Kudos to all who step up and make this club a powerhouse we deserve to be!

This is a definite requisite and quite frankly an underachievement to date, with all thanks to Primus , Volvo etc..we just need more. Im interested in teh preseason membership initiatives. Hell i'm just interested to find out about it all.
