Yes unfortunately, pity we have not had more like him for the majority of the last 6 years DC.

I find it sad that it will end this way

    Whats strange about balls on a dog?

    [censored] on a bull, yes.

    Not strange, it's to do with 'standing out'...

    I agree that [censored] on a bull would 'stand out' but probably not to the lab technicians engineering the androgynous beast.

    Mind you it was funny watching Strauss in his beautifully tailored suit standing next to Tynan who looked like he’s been dressed by Op Shops R us.

    Steady there Robbie - Tynan is a good West Gippy boy - we are all dressed by op shops in West Gippy.

    What I'd love is the club to come out and say "we are dead serious about winning a flag. We will pay 100% of the TPP but in doing so we need contributions to assist in the development and recruitment of the best players. Please help". That tells me that they have allocated resources right and I'd feel as though I was giving our players the best possible chance to reach their full potential.

    .

    I agree - Being President is about carefully choosing words so you send an unambiguous message. With no insight at all, I would doubt (read "hope like hell") that we would have problems paying 100% TPP. Fans message above says to me that we are in good shape but if you give you will help us get a bigger brighter shinier and more successful club. Its semantics I know, but we have now have 150 posts basically arguing over semantics

    I still maintian that "titis on a bull" is what you say about some one who is useless, not stand out.

    ie. "geez, jimmy is about as usefull as [censored] on a bull"

    "standing out like dogs balls" is a different circumstance altogether

    ie.

    "did you see bobby at the work christmas party, he was wearing shorts at a black tie event"

    "yeah his bare legs stood out like dogs balls"

    As an aside - there were a number of clubs that made a loss last year. That means they were technically did not have the revenue to cover their TPP whatever it was. (if not the TPP then some other expense). Port Adelaide is a prime example.

    Any club that makes a loss by definition has more expenses than revenue and by further definition having something(s) in their expense column that they just cant afford.

    So bottom line is that we will always be able to pay 100% TPP by either generating enough revenue to cover it or by making a loss (this can only be sustained so long until the AFL stops bailing us out)

    For me I'm glad we are not paying 100% tpp this year as the list doesn't deserve it right now. Dermy said on sen last week that he knew for a fact that Travis boak was on more coin then Sam Mitchell. One is a good midfielder in a spud team and the other is a gun midfielder and a premiership captain. I say pay 100% when it is warranted

    You will not get an argument from me cfh

    I have been complaining for a number of years that the Players union agreement is misplaced.

    Why should the MFC being paying similar to Hawthorn.

    The Dees should be paying 80% next year until players perform at the 100% level.

    It won't happen of course but the current system is IMO wrong.

    If you couple this to the fact there are at least two teams too many in the competition

    then there at least 80 players in the AFl getting paid serious money who are not AFL standard.

    Now I will wait for RR to fall upon me.

    You are too right there OD.

    I've thought that over the last 6 or so years we've had too many players on big coin who would struggle to get a game elsewhere, let alone a big pay packet. Cam Bruce found this out the hard way, unfortunately.

    I congratulate all who donated to the MFC at the Foundation Heroes function.

    Well done to you too Robbie F, your ' out and proud of it' contribution makes light reading

    You can quite easily lose a fortune every year supporting the club you love. I've had my share.

    Mono, the Coterie, regardless of the the year and the state of the clubs health, can and has raised, on ave, over 300k p.a. And this is a conservative figure at best. There is no need for blatant publicity of their efforts as it is well recognized within the club and across business circles.

    It would be pleasing to see a win for Brad today. A nice bloke and a very good servant for our club.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
