DEBT DEMOLITION

This could well turn out to be the most important night in the club's history.

Its also important to think - how much does this save in the long run with regards to interest and the like? Its just enormous.

    Yeah tell me about it, i don't understand it at all.

    Perhaps he thought he'd stick around...?

    I head they were reluctant to sign someone on a set contract in case there was a change of heart/board and we had to pay him out. Still, why put him on 460,000

    170 people in attendence plus 25 people who couldn't make it, making it 195 x $6,000.

    Total amount pledged to be announced in a minute.

    You with ASIO or something??

    Gee glad I wasn't there, they would have skun me out...

    Great intelligence, Haydo. Thx.

    Maybe Hutchy chipped in 8 grand for the inside scoop

    Youre absolutely spot on Mickrocks..the Interest is a killer. Get rid of a lot of that and al lof a sudden even the same revenue stream gets much hightened results.

  • Quote

    WOw! :o

    That pulls the heart strings Haydo, that is just...overwhelming.

    Many thanks from all. Now its up to the rest to eat away at the debt over August (and the interest too - yes BB).

    BB you could be spot on with the $1.75m prediction. By the end of August $3mill could be wiped off! :rolleyes:

    Rogue, the three month "pay-out" is his payment for the three months he worked

    If so, then there was no 'payout' at all - we had simply already paid him for work that he had done (ie. wages). I think it would be unlikely that there was no severance pay. It seems more likely that the 'payout' is equal to three months of work, as has been reported:

    "McNamee lasted only 106 days, but will receive a payout believed to be $115,000, equal to three months of his annual salary at Melbourne."

    http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/stor...5016161,00.html

    "The Demons are contractually obliged to give the departing chief executive a payout of about $115,000."

    http://news.realfooty.com.au/sport/paul-mc...80723-3jmn.html

    If there was in fact no payout, we've done a terrible PR job.

    That's why I used quotation marks, and why Distance Demon provided that summary.

    Because we (or me at least) don't think it was a payout, but actually just payment for his time in the job. And i'm happy to be proven wrong, as that would correct my judgement on the matter

    If this info eventuates, it'll be more than 1.75 i'm thinking

    Foxtel are giving dollar for dollar, up to 100 grand, so that's 1.85M already by your estimates...

  • Quote

    Haha don't wanna be greedy but i'm hoping if half, 100 donate 6 thats 600, and 95 donate twice that, that's already about 1.75, not including if some put more in

    Thats fantastic news

    Some very generous people have just help stabilise the foundations of this great club.

    Thankyou each and every one.

    Any calls from India by any chance Haydo??

  • Quote

    Best news ive heard for a while. Its all well and good to demolish the debt but we really need to start making profits. This is a great start though

    I read on big footy

    "There is still one function left for the members who are willing to donate between the 500-1000 buck mark, so hopefully we can get 200-300k from that as well, a great start to wiping that 5 million debt."

    ANyone know what this function is? I would be happy to go

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
