Carlton alone have tanked on at least 5 occasions - when are they going to be investigated? Fair's fair.

The one and only reason we got scrutinised was because of Brock McLean. The AFL could not allow the image of the game tarnished and they were forced to act.

One dog-faced bogan and his big arrogant mouth

No, but I was there facepalming when that twit asked the question.

What a complete and utter ignoramus.

Brayshaw said he lives near Nathan Jones, but the point still stands.

That "twit" was a past player whose number was originally inherited by Jimmy Stynes (viz. No. 37)!

No, don't agree with this. McLean was a former player who expressed his opinion, others such as Wallace a former coach and Liberatore an assistant coach said much worse than McLean yet their clubs were not investigated.

The reason was more likely that Anderson got hold of the issue whilst AD was out of the country. If he was here at the time I think the issue would have been a one week headline and buried.

PJ tells it like it is, me I don't think we will make finals this year, but we will set it up for the following year, he has set the bar low for now, who knows if everything aligns it could be this year, but no wild predictions from those that matter

HL was brilliant, spoke to him afterwards, has cut all social media and mainstream media since leaving the Pies to just become HL the footy player and leadership group member before the start of the season, intends to open up more as season progresses as it will be expected

Brayshaw pushed Petracca under the bus, brilliantly set up by Roos

It would not be a MFC AGM without a face palm moment

I was a bit staggered when the guy asked the question about the Casey Scorps commitment, I thought all supporters knew that it was a 10 year agreement

Carlton were never going to be investigated, not while Fitzpatrick is chairman of the AFL

In the money section of last night, PJ mentioned $124,000 returned to the MFC from an insurance company. He said it was to do with an AFL investigation. I can only assume it was the tanking. Does anybody have any idea what this is about?

Saty I was sitting with someone who is a long time member like myself and neither of us knew we were locked in till 2018.

iMO a very large number of people there last night did not know the dates involved.

It was a good question IMO.

it seems to be that the re-branding will incorporate the 'mfc' entwined letters that have become part of the look and feel of the club in recent times, and i'm guessing use of the mcg as a symbol to associate with the club. looking forward to seeing what the graphic designer comes up with - simplicity is key.

Not as staggering as this comment. Seriously not everyone has the 24/7 hour access to the club to know all this information.

I knew about the 30 year agreement but not the 10 year deal that's been mentioned.

Whether or not you think we will make finals in 2015, it should at least be the AIM to make finals at the beginning of each season. To say our goal is to just make ONE final by the end of NEXT year is pretty poor PR if nothing else.

I don't think we'll make finals in 2015 but it's not a foregone conclusion. Lots of things can happen in a season, look at 1987, 1994, 1998 - why put a ceiling on things?

On the other hand 50k members is an ambitious yet obtainable target and trying to get out of our disastrous Casey deal is great.

Any mention of a possible training centre and membership focus in the Romsey area?

It is called the reality bus Dr.

Strangely no Bbo

I'll be happy when we finally get out of the bottom 4, it appears although Mark Neeld used to ride on the "reality bus", it appears PJ is actually the driver.....

What injuries did the bus sustain?

Well a sense of humour

Something sadly lacking around here most days.

There was one little maybe tongue in cheek remark by PJ about the VCA moving into the junction oval and freeing up time and space at the MCG.

I just can't see CA releasing their hold on the "G" over the summer period.

The drop in pitches stil have to be in place for test matches.

Brayshaw said he lives near Nathan Jones, but the point still stands.

Thought it sounded funny at the time, hearing is not a strong point at the moment.

The missus says I suffer from S H D. Selective Hearing Disorder.

Another thing that was quite shocking to hear last night, was how bad the relationship with the scorpions has been over the last few years. PJ and Roos both said how happy they are with the new cases coach and that he is on the MFC payroll. The expectation now is that the alignment will actually add to the development of players rather than be counterproductive.

So many things were broken, it's no wonder we have been so bad.

Yes we would be able to write the manual on how not to run a football club.

That explains why we didn't have a game plan that worked.

We had 2 coaches controlled by 2 different Boards.

I would have guessed it was Daniel Bell-related.

That "twit" was a past player whose number was originally inherited by Jimmy Stynes (viz. No. 37)!

Being a former player doesn't make him any more or any less ignorant.

Did he maybe suffer a lot of concussions in his playing days..?

I remember having this argument on here a few years ago when Jim Stynes said before one season that Melbourne "will not" make the finals. I'm a huge Stynes fan but he lost me a bit with that one.

I don't care what you say behind closed doors but, externally my belief is that you always say the aim is to play finals, every year. Yes, Jackson is being honest but keep that stuff to yourself and don't try and lower supporter expectations.
