DEBT IS THE DEVIL IN STYNES' DETAIL

DEES DRAFT RESCUE PLAN

The articles don't really reveal anything new about our financial crisis and, despite the title of the first one, there' not much detail about Jimmy's plans to get us out of the shyzenhausen.

It' abundantly clear however, that change was needed because the old guard were going nowhere fast.

Yes, it shows we badly needed at change at the top, because we have had a dramatic turnaround from last year; from a small profit, to a forcast loss of about $2million.

The size of this loss indicates, that we again have let our expenses get out of control again, relative to our income.

From this Stynes article Two VPs for Dees

In other club developments, Stynes unveiled plans of a 'Debt Demolition' campaign on July 10, which he said would "see us debt free".

Very interested in the projected time frame of the debt free goal

How in the world are we losing so much money?

I didn't think our debt was 3 million before this year, and i don't understand how we'll lose a further 2 million this year. It's good it's being addressed though

The new administration will also look to refashion the club's logo. Stynes has refused to reveal his specific plan here, but has made it clear to his executive that he likes the Demon and wants it back.

THE MFC PLAN

6. Bring back the Demon.

Probably the least of our worries at the moment, but will it be the same Demon as before. Anyone got any inside info?

Interest Repayments would have a lot to do with our debt. Just gets Bigger & Bigger. That's why we all have to continually raise money over a few years at least. This is a long termer and we must Hang in

Debt servicing is the Albatross. Thats why Jim & Co know the solution to survival rests and falls with the abolition of debt. Then revenue can be spent on better things.

Its the ol story...it aint how you make it..its how you spend it !!

Does anyone know the status of the Bentleigh and Leighbrook clubs?

Do we actually own them or do we just own a share?

The reason I ask is the two venues must be worth a bit. Is it not a good idea to sell both and put that money towards our debt?

The way I see it we have two essential investment opportunities being Casey Fields and the new stadium.

Casey requires $600,000 which will most likely be put up by the AFL. We will then own land worth $600,000. A gift from the Council. The new Stadium requires about a $1.5 million investment which I believe we have raised money for already.

Now any other investment activities should be put on hold. Once debt is cleared and we begin to make a profit again then we should consider investing in a gaming venue etc.

In conjunction with whats already been said, I imagine that the turnover of such a high number of staff has contributed a significant amount. Cant see the club having budgeted for all the costs involved there.

No inside info, but there is a thread of designs on demonology (http://demonology.midnight.net.au/Index.PHP?Mode=Forum&SubMode=DisplayPosts&MessageThreadID=26315&BoardType=0).

I am awaiting approval from an application there a few weeks ago, so can't post my 'designs'. Frustrating.

I was going to throw them here and ask that someone with dual access shift it for me, but probably should start a seperate thread for that. We do, IMO, need to be wary of overly complex and/or busy designs.

It may be a tad foolhardy.( given our precarious position ) ..but common practice is to borrow against the value of land ( hint) to build !! ;) We need 1/2 mill.. we're given a 1/2 mil assett...get them grey cells going !! :)

Thanks for that. I personally would like to see the return of the old Demon, with perhaps a few touch-ups.

Every little bit helps to wipe out the debt which is a noose around our necks.

Consider getting a few supporters/mates together to buy the $200.00 members only raffle ticket that's being hawked atm.

I've had two calls from the club already on top of the emails and now just need to persuade one more supporter to sign on for $50.00.

Apart from the big end of town that Jimmy's going to target, this'll help. And you may win something.

Then maybe not, but at least you'll know you've done your extra bit to help your club climb out of the mire.

Apart from the increased membership numbers in the last couple of weeks is there any news of large donations or sponsorships or was that all a bit of a pipedream?

Nothing we know of. Im sure Jimmy has a few things planned though with his debt-buster plan.

The Primus sponsorship is apparently worth a bit so I cant see us gaining a new major sponsor for a while.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
