    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • 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.
