Well said PJ

Building respect...

Pretty much what he said last night

[Ron Burgundy 8,588]

Would absolutely support a change of logo.

I like that MFC logo which appears on the New Balance training guernseys and gear generally. The one that looks a bit like Carlton's.

No RB theirs looks a bit like ours

Seriously I have always liked the Carlton Jumper/ logo.

Simple and gets the message over and with a couple of exceptions they do not messed with it.

They stay on message.

I can't say I like the Carlton jumper logo, OD. It is too busy for mine (not to mention various other detrimental factors ) But then I like the current emblem, and didn't mind the blazers, so ...

[Pennant St Dee 13,406]

FFS the jumper logo and club logo don't need to be the same.

MFC Monologue for jumpers

Current logo for letterheads and business docs etc

Sorry 'Pennant', they really do need to be the same.

You need a consistent message with your marketing as with everything else.

Well that says it all R and B

Convicted out of your own mouth, you liked the blazers!

I shall never be able to think the same about your comments ever again.

Shame Shame Shame

Oh well, there goes "These banana fritters are nice. Want to try one OD?"

I will admit you do have some redeeming items to your character.

I have you on watching brief at present.

So 95 carry over points from the MRP?

[old dee 24,004]

No carry over points yet.

Just the watching brief

[daisycutter 29,893]

didn't they drop carry over points for this season?

[Sir Why You Little 37,317]

Just watched PJ's AGM Speech in full

I have no problems with what he said regarding September in 2016.

It is a goal to aim for. To expect after hard work from all at the club.

The club is no longer in survival mode. It is time to grow.

As he states. We get no favours for being Melbourne. It is up to the club to honour the cities name.

We should always expect to up there. But it will not be gifted.

[Guest]

No issues with what he has said though I think that it felt a little contradictory when he stressed that the club would connect with the those living in the city of Melbourne, those new to Melbourne and youth (a concept I am fully supportive of) but would also look after out heartland and bring them back into the fold. I guess it doesn't have to be either/or but I think we do need a tighter focus on what we are trying to achieve on that front. The rest of the stuff I am 100% on board with. Sadly, under Jimma/McLardy/Schwab regime, our goals were unrealistic and smacked of quick fix. We kept putting the cart before the horse. We talked of premierships, golden eras and being a future powerhouse. The thing was that with all this dreaming, we never paid attention to what was actually going on at the time and/or had no earthly idea of how far our plans were from our reality.

Here is an update on Club plans. Finals and other goals repeated. From Patrick Smith http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/demons-plot-a-path-to-finals-footy-by-2016/story-e6frg6n6-1227260519589

My favourite part: "Jackson also confirmed he would head the club’s administration until at least the end of 2016 — tying in with senior coach Paul Roos’ tenure — and a year longer than he is contracted for."

This certainly puts to bed the faux story a month ago about Bartlett going after Brian Cook etc etc. PJ gives a bit more stability and confidence to the club for a few more years!

Couldn't be happier!!

This may be a silly question, but how do I read the article without subscribing or buying the fish and chip paper?

Wait, our debt is back out to $7.5 million?

[deanox 10,046]

CB, I think that relates to the Bentleigh club deal. When we took that over, we also took on that debt. The assets gained were much greater than the debt and we believe with income gained we will pay it off in a relatively short term and be left with the assets.

At least that is what I remember. Someone else may be able to elaborate.

I thought that might have been the case, thanks.
