    What?

    It seems a strange reaction to be 'confused and embarassed' regarding the financial predicament of the Melbourne Football Club.

    I was expecting a revelation along the lines of you being caught with your pants down or something.

    Sorry about that.

    I was confused because i didnt exactly understand why we were asking for 2 mil and i was embarrassed after reading 40+ comments of other teams on the HUN site saying enough is enough

    Fair enough. Those comments were savage.

    But the hun is purposely playing on the emotions of idiots who don't (care to) understand the full story.

    According to the papers today we're asking the AFL for $2 million which should just about cover our operating loss for 2008 and fair enough given the aweful roster they hand out to us every year. I wouldn't hide the fact though - it's an important part of proper corporate governance that the stakeholders are aware of the true financial position (unlike some other clubs which transact their business through paper bags and cardboard boxes :lol: ).

    :lol: Nice WJ.

    I wouldn't hide the facts either fwiw. New Years Eve or Christmas Eve are good options. Although I would have said Madagaskar...

    Agree. Our past administrations were rightfully chastised for not disclosing our full financial position. I'd like to think that the success of the Debt Demolition would send a message to the board that if they're honest and upfront with the members, the members will respond in kind.

    There is nothing to be gained in hiding our operating loss for the year, other than avoiding 24 hours of negative press.

    Fair enough :)

    However, don't be embarassed by the Melbourne Football Club, and certainly not because of some rubbish written by the Herald Sun readers!

    :o Would those readers by any chance be the ones that got booted out of the Collingwood cheer squad....of course silly me, they don't read, they look at the digitally enhanced pictures.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
