Melbourne To Receive $9.1 million from the AFL

......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, 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.

    On second thoughts why don't we double our money and drop the lot on one (or more) of Redleg's geegees

    I've got this great formulae....can't fail, bought it on eBay the other day

    Now that is better DC

    I can see you are starting to throw off the gloom.

    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 :-)

    You're the guy that's been running the club's finances for the past 40 years, aren't you? With an idea like that...

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
