Demons seek MCC Alignment

[Guest Addam]

Positives from the Article:

1. MFC seeking realignment with MCC. Early days but this is something that IMO should definitely pursued.

2. Casey deal - Close to finalisation including alignment with Casey.

3. AFL has its financial people activately involved in the devlopment of the business plan. This should not be underestimated in the scheme of things.

4. AFL supported the MFC push with the MCC.

5. MFC making a clear submission to the AFL for $3million. Best it be done out in the open rather than rumoured and speculated about.

6. On track to have its HQ at Olympic Park by 2010.

Fantastic. I like our new direction.

From the article, it seems to me that the MCC has no interest in an affiliation with the MFC and will only do so kicking and screaming under pressure from the AFL. I can’t see any benefit to the MCC in such an arrangement other than it seems nice. And Demitriou talking about “history” and “tradition” is laughable. Its Vlad waving his magic wand again but for once it appears to be to the benefit of the club.

Quite amazing really.

With respect to previous Chairman, he has maintained that the AFL had forced the club into a position where they had to “think outside the square” to generate further income streams. With the benefit of hindsight, these radical ideas have proven to be costly failures whether or not through the fault of the administration. Unfortunately, it seems that everything Gardner touched turned to mud.

A bit rushed.. but is this what they are hinting at?

the trad jumper with MCC logo ?

Yep..... the MCC logo that may have inspired caddy's clash option.

Happy with that!

This confirms a suspicion of mine held for several years : that with old Carlton hack Stephen Gough heading the MCC we have few friends there!

He could not give a rats and does not think about who built the stadium.

Best thing for us would be if he went

Dont forget - Vlad & the boys do get what they want.

Can someone remember the last time Vlad didnt get what he wanted??
