    Thanks for the Headline.

    I got to read it.

    Such a shame Patrick Smith works for C Montgomery Burns as he is the best daily sports journo in this country by a mile.

    Good to see my club is AIMING for September again

    God damit the last 10 years were such a waste of everything.

    10 wins this year is what we should AIM at....

    I think we were always aiming for September.

    We just had crap shots aiming at a moving target.

    "The Red & Blueprint" Schwab produced finished at the end of August and new year was Draft Day.

    He had no idea what September was...!

    might depend too on which search engine your browser is defaulted to

    mine is chrome + google, IE usually defaults to bing or ask depending which way the wind is blowing when installed

    try changing search engine

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

    I was also curious about this, so I had a look at our official accounts. The $7.5m isn't obvious so it must be several figures combined. It also depends on what is defined as 'Debt'.

    To give a little insight: It seems that 'Total Liabilities' have actually gone down from $14.0 in 2013 to $12.9m in 2014. Of this 'Loans' (in layman terms) in 2014 are $1.2m for gaming and $3.7m for operating. (Total $4.9m). The operating 'loan' facility was created during 2013, so there was no new debt last year.

    We can relax (sort of) as our overall debt position hasn't changed during 2014 but it is somewhat disconcerting that in 2013 we had to borrow about $3.m for operations. This was in addition to the AFL extra dollars to restructure.

    The good news is that I read somewhere that PJ expects our 'debt' to be halved in the next 2 years.

    Edit change to 2 years in last sentence.

    Hope this helps those that were also curious.

    yes, but which debt is he talking about? :lol: did he quantify it?

    Just for you dc I went in search of the reference: "He also predicted a similar result this year to the $161,000 profit posted for 2014, which followed a $3 million statutory loss basically inherited by Jackson the previous year. After becoming debt free under the presidency of Jim Stynes several administrations previously, Melbourne have built up a current debt of $7.5m, which Jackson confidently predicts will be reduced by half within two years. “This club has a very bright future,” he said."

    from http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/demons-plot-a-path-to-finals-footy-by-2016/story-e6frg6n6-1227260519589

    This quote also explains the $3.0m we had to borrow in 2013 was to cover the 'loss basically inherited by Jackson the previous year'.

    Note: I've edited my latest post to read 'in 2 years'

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
