Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>

in all seriousness I almost applaud that rotten place for its determination to stay afloat. It must be so much in the red that black cant ever be seen as a point of destination lol

I been looking into the Club 2013 financial statements.

It not a great time for the Club as its spent most of its cash on paying for the new High Performance Centre.

They had to take out a $5 million dollar loan which had specific finance obligations on the Club to pay for the new facility.

The Club had current assets of $6,8 million with current liabilities of $13.3 million. This would indicate the Club has a significant cash flow issue. But there was a comment made in the financial report that the Club expects to be able to roll over the $5 million dollar loan until its paid off. Not sure what that means at this point but the current ratio is of concern even if you remove the loan from this calculation.

It appears that the $1.6 million non current liability must be the unpaid amount of the $2 million dollar fine from the AFL. This would indicate the Club will not be paying the AFL the unpaid amount of their fine within the next 12 months.

No real detail is given on the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Income Statement) but if you remove abnormal income related item the 2 million dollar profit becomes a 3 million dollar loss.

The club does have significant land and building assets which could be sold if needed.

This Club should not get any financial support of the AFL and should be required to pay the outstanding fine as they have the financial resource to do so. Which will require the Club to have higher debt levels.

good work DF.

certainly should the EFC have a large amount of players suspended etc etc or end up deeply in debt they certainly should not get any help from the AFL, be it financial or in the form of draft concessions or the like.

this is a hole of their own making - and they have only dug it deeper in the last 2 years.

What is the abnormal income relating to, DF?

If I remember correctly it was for the High Performance Centre e.g Donations etc.

Essendon is also insisting it will not trade Jason Winderlich or allow him to leave the club as a free agent by releasing him from his contract for 2015, despite his desire to join Richmond.

Winderlich triggered a contract extension at the end of the season, which he originally planned to walk away from by retiring. The contract means he is currently bound to the Bombers, who want him to play on with them next year.

Richmond believes the deal offered to Winderlich would see Essendon compensated with a draft pick should it release him and let him walk to the Tigers as an unrestricted free agent.

That might appeal to Essendon given the club will otherwise lose Winderlich to retirement and receive nothing.

It's staggering the level of stupidity at all levels of this farcical club. He's either staying retired or playing with another club. This leaves you with two options:

A. Let him move to another club and get a free compensation pick, potentially ~38.

or B. Refuse to let him move to another club, so he stays retired and you receive nothing at all.

Geez, hard choice that one. Naturally, they've chosen option B. :wacko::rolleyes:

Может все с помощью Google Translate пожалуйста, прекратите ради трахает or in other words just cut and paste this ' ебать ' for emphasis, however I much prefer vittusaatana (spoken phonetically) - anyway who really can pronounce anything written in the cyrillic alphabet. vittusaatana is also much more appropriate for the MFC anyway and I really laugh every time my wife says it.

They got to keep Hird as coach as this is priceless!

Between bans, lack of recruiting options and players leaving 2015 looks interesting.

Read a snippet that Kristian Jaksch has literally refused to talk to the bombers who showed interest in him.

Very plausible. I have had a few dealings with Kristian - and know him as someone who speaks his mind.

Seriously why would a young player who wants to settle into a footy club want to go anywhere near Essendon. Who's going to be coach? Who's going to be captain? What story are they going to spin you?

What about a young kid and his parents sweating on the draft? What would you fear most - an invitation to leave home for the joys of Western Sydney or a daily trip down the Tullamarine Freeway behind a convoy of lawyers?

Ready or not - I guess you might be a 'shoo in' to make your debut in Round 1 2015!!

So far as I am aware he is the only one to back Hird to this extreme. No great loss for them. OK player but no star. Not exactly twisting the clubs arm.

Yeah but it's another crack in the dam, they add up :)

Also I find it amusing that Bomberblitz have named their trading forum "Essendon is Not Appealing".

At least someone over there has a good sense of humour.

This whole beautiful sordid tale is becoming very similar to a 70's Disaster Movie.

Only Charlton Heston can save this wreck from total obliteration

Airport '75 is a marvellous sit com!!

James "Icarus" Hird has only one way to go.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
