Melbourne To Receive $9.1 million from the AFL


Grandson of a gun

Recommended Posts

......as long as it doesn't get spent on desks! (or such-like)

No way should we spend it on desks, what with Gazza and McLardy smashing their fists on them like they have been, they're far too valuable for that :lol:

Seriously though, I hate that we have to take money from the dictators, but the timing is impeccable. We have the list with the talent, but they need moulding into their potential. This money will help us perfect the mould so that they can stand on their own.

The AFL panders to Collingwood again.

Geelong and Hawthorn get Nil which is fair enough but collingwood get chucked a few Mill and Eddie is complaining.

Geelong and Hawthorn get nil, but the Filth get a couple of mil??? How the eff does that work? By all reports I hear the Filth are leading the way as far as off field expenditure and quality of facilities, leading me to think that they are the ones the equalisation money is weighed up against, therefore they should be the only ones not getting a brass rhazoo. I just can't work this bloody commission out, I really can't. I've no complaints about what we are to receive (except that I wish we didn't need it :) ) but surely something needs to be done about this Collingwood love they have going on.

edit: I just read the article on AFL website regarding this, and there was no mention of Collingwood, however Geelong and the Hawks both get the basic package of 3.25 mil.

Yes, (forces smiling face) Canberra is so enjoyable when Floriade is on. They are missing out on so much...

You mean the Canberra Tulip Festival? Went last week, but only to replenish my supply of chilli sauces from The Chilli Factory... got their new Scorpion Chilli Sauce which on a heat scale of 10 is rated a 15 :-)

Does anyone know how the AFL works out these amounts. Is it based on need, does it include compensation for playing in Darwin, are AFL negotiated stadium deals taken into account? To me that is more important than the amount each club gets.

The AFL control almost all of the strings when it comes to club finances to the extent that the difference between the funding between Hawthorn and Geelong at one end and the Bulldogs and North at the other is just a rounding error to them.

There's a video on DeeTV of Cam Schwab. He explains some of the AFL's process and what it means to MFC. Interesting and worth a look.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
