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

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'

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
