......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

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
