Learned from a very reliable source today that Mitch Clarke is very happy at Melbourne & that we have some well-known friends in very high places who are providing a strong financial assistance to the club. Obviously won't name sources, take it as you see fit...it's off season.

Dear Demonland,

I heard from a very reliable source (Judd's Grandmother, if you must know, and talking of sources she's certainly saucy!) some top secret info about some good stuff going on...but I can't tell you about it.

Anyway, just thought you'd like to know!

I knew that you'd understand that you can't actually know anything.

Take this as you see fit!

Love,

Rogue

XoXo.

I don't think that you were in any position to disclose that information.

Very good news, can i maybe ask for details in the manner of this backing without who is providing it exactly?

Always nice for such news

We have our own Pratt family & they're maybe even more generous (I don't know the extent of Pratt support at Carlscum). They provide help in the form of open book incentives to help get deals done.

EDIT: Also MC was messed around at Brissy a fair bit - haven't heard of a player having so many surgery's in one season.

It's your Avatar W & H....Looking at Gus smile at me like that is most unsettling!

This should be of no surprise! A few months ago Don McLardy in a newspaper article mentioned that there were a number of quite wealthy people at the club who were willing to back the club financially in an effort to improve facilities/list/staff etc.

Of course people with real wealth don't throw their money away. If the results don't come I'm sure the money flow will stop!

nope not them; but glad to here them also if true

Redleg already indicated that it's not likely them given their support for Carlton.

You said in OP you have information, are you willing to divulge it ? If not, why start a thread ?

I was trying to keep it quiet but I am supplying Mitch Clark with a regular supply of flathead and snapper fillets.

Why not? It's not a slanderous rumour. It's something good about the club if true (makes sense with the amount of cash we're throwing at coaches and elite fitness staff etc...), and the info is being relayed to us die hards without the source being divulged, take it or leave it.

Or at least being that candid and honest about it. I mean really.

Indeed. Why?

Because the fact that this family isn't already recognized as being strong Melbourne supporters & financer's has me puzzled & hence I've drawn my own conclusion that they would want it kept private (don't know why). We all know journo's go on here & would hate for this knowledge to affect the club (again I don't know how but better to be safe then sorry).

Posted this on here because I was having some drinks with people in the know & wanted to share we are in a strong financial position going forward.

EDIT: You're right Deestroy; it has a lot to do with why we are able to have such an extensive & highly regarded coaching list + snaring/keeping a few players.

But you havent said anything of substance other make illusions of something important. And if you are worried about this affecting the Club i am not sure why you even started a thread about it.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
