Not the point at all LDvC.

The Geelong FC gets to profit from the redevelopment of its ground in ways no other club does. We get nothing from the money put in to Gosch's but every single spectator who goes to Kardinia Park now puts money into the GFC's accounts.

I seem to recall there is a bit of state and federal monies going into Kardinia Park ,and the pies publically owned venues at the swimming centre and Victoria Park where Public Lavatories would be available.

Perhaps we should apply for a government grant for the paddock, get a multisex portaloo onsite for the players and " fans " and charge admision too ?

    What are peoples thoughts on the Cats charging non members to attend open training sessions?

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-12-18/cats-defend-training-fees

    I think it is a disgrace, imagine a family who is struggling to make ends meet and wants to take the kids to see there team train. They now need to fork out money to watch them to a bunch of run throughs and hand ball drills.

    I hope this does not set a precedent and it gets strong opposition to the idea.

    disgraceful. money grabbing. & it will come back to bite them.

    If I was down there following the cats, I would just turn my back on them, for being so cheap, & selfish.

    Nonsense. The AFL motto is "cash is king!". The only way a club can get ahead in the competition is to be fabulously wealthy which breeds success which yields more wealth and respect from the commission. Charge the mugs for everything I say.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
