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

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.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
