It was reported on the rumour file this morning on 693 that the Melbourne Football Club is trying to woo an Indian prince who is apparently willing to pledge a cool $20 million towards the club.

Nice coin if we can get it.

However, it's just a rumour at this stage.

To annoy the Chinese who have already got us to drop the Demon. Turns out the Prince loves Demons and has always wanted his own footy team.

Well we do train on a cricket oval most of the year at the junction. Maybe he was here and saw 40 fit-looking blokes running around the wicket area thinking he was getting a whole cricket squad?

We'd have to change our name from MelbourneFC to the Melbourne KnightRiders.

You know i've been thinking about this, and a couple of years ago my dad lost his Demon hat when he went to India. Maybe this prince picked it up and has become a life-long supporter of our great club!

A few points.

He may be an Indian prince as in a Rajah, (more likely a steel magnate from Mumbai or a smart lad from Bangalore though) but Raj means a totally different thing. I doubt he'll be jumping up and down celebrating Britain's rule of India for a few hundred years. Apart from the legacy of a great rail network.

It's a 'tabla', never heard of a tubla! Check out any recording of Ali Akbar Khan to hear his tabla player going wilder than Keith Moon could ever imagine.

This rumour may be true though as a few Ganeshas have graced my various abodes over the years. (Good fortune elephant god in the Hindu pantheon for the youngsters.) I always knew the ship would come in!

I'm all for an Indian messiah and I'm ready to convert whenever the $20 mill. hits the table. Looking forward to Holi already. Plenty of red and blue thrown around.

I heard about this rumor a few wees back, linked to a former player who was involved in the deal. I spoke to said player at the Walk To The 'G, and he assured me it was true.

So take that for what it's worth.

And the reason I'm not naming names, he asked me not to.

Wow, it does sound like I'm making it up doesn't it? I'm not one for gossip, and am only telling you what I heard.

well the plot thickens...

is the rumour file just goons calling in making up rumours, or is it rumours that have gotten to the people at 3AW, therefore you'd expect to have reasonably reliable sources...

I find this story of having an Indian Prince offering us $20 million dollars very hard to believe. :blink:

As MFC supporters/member we should try and raise money to keep our club alive through our own efforts.

If 20,000 MFC supporters/members donated $25 a week for 20 weeks (about a season) we would raise $10 million dollars. Over 40 weeks (about 2 seasons) we would have be able to raise our OWN $20 million dollars without any help.

I realise it would take a lot of effort but it would be possible.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
