YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,823 Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Any chance of the Fees getting a sponsorship from the trio of ex Dees or did they all exit the club on bad terms? Quote

Strauss and Bail were also involved, hopefully they kept their shares. Also it's not real money if you can't sell your shares, so it might be a little premature. Read the article. It wasn't a fluke! It was being creative with his business, hard work, IT intelligence, seeing opportunity and seizing it - and as he says, creating culture in his workplace. 1 Quote
Bigred 502 Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Lucky be damned As no better coach then the great man Napoleon Bonaparte himself said 'I would rather have a general who is lucky than one who is good' The 'post football' career of footballers is worthy of study.... the 'tradesman' footballers often seem to benefit more than the gifted, with exceptions of course. Joel MacDonald is listed on the stock exchange. James Hird I saw the other day promoting chocolate in a super market..... go figure. 3 Quote
CBDees 3,167 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Nice to see such a young bloke steering a $100,000,000.00+ company! Not many people on this planet have achieved that plus an AFL career! ? Quote

Je Roos Salem 661 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 That's a pretty amazing way to turn your life around after playing for one of the worst teams of all time Quote
M_9 2,216 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Reported on BF that Joel's company may not be travelling as well as has been made out: (there is a firewall) http://www.afr.com/business/banking-and-finance/hedge-funds/getswift-too-fast-for-its-own-good-20180116-h0ji3t " ...Tim Hannon, chief investment officer at Newgate Capital Partners, is shorting the stock. "We think GetSwift is a company that has developed a product with a useful but very limited application," he said. Mr Hannon said the company has made "a series of regular, high level announcements that lack substance or are unclear ...." Quote

Biffen 12,949 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 I want one of those companies where you burn 100 million and make 90 million and have potential billions to come in. Delivering fired chicken to bogans can't be that hard. 2 1 Quote

John Crow Batty 8,892 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 As with many’s things MFC, was too good to be true. Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,772 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 When the market starts shorting your stock watch out. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Profits though are over rated it seems... just look at Facebook, Uber etc and the other darlings that lose money hand over fist. Facebook will probably come good simply because marketers cannot ignore the platform (unfortunately)but Uber will always be an easy target for competition. In Asia it is Grab for example. Good Luck Macca .. if someone's going to make the money it may as well be an ex Demon Quote

Might have been reliable & dedicated but still a poor selection by the Club IMHO. He was courageous but not overly quick & had very average skills. Basically a Casey level player useful as a backup. To add further insult we picked him in the 09 pre season draft ahead of Dylan Grimes. Quote
Clintosaurus 7,953 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Won't be the only company to not meet continuous disclosure obligations. Plenty of others have done it and got away with it. A certain former Tasmanian timber company comes to mind. Quote
