[b]So putting this on the front page of the Hun killed it.[/b]

Taskforce coming back very soon with recommendations. One option building over the AAMI carpark on Gosch's side. 

Either way, likely to have a location for our future base soon.

 

It did, but this was done by govt themselves. Internally we [censored] ourselves that the leak came from us & the govt would be filthy, until we found out otherwise. It was all political grandstanding. 

Pert has plenty to do and has achieved little so far. His attitude doesn’t help and I fear he’s already damaged the culture of the club as a whole.

By the time we get around to announcing and getting approval for our new digs, Governments will be saying that they are all out of money.

No votes in giving money to a football club who is perceived to be from the opposite political divide.

...and whose supporters are believed to be consolidated in non-swinging electorates.

 

Nevertheless, I should add that I believe the Vic Government(whoever is in power) will provide funding once we have the right plans in place.

Exactly. Essendons latest past president was a X federal Labor MP. Says it all. 

And our Premier is an Ess supporter.  And an ex Labor Minister's brother (Madden) is on their Board.

The old story of 'who you know', od.

If the parties were  reversed we would still miss out  because 75% of members votes were guaranteed money or not.

We shouldn't ever hear this again. I'm sure we will, but it's simply not true.

Simon Madden is on the Essendon board. It was his ex-Carlton (and for a short while ex-Essendon) brother, Justin, who was the Minister in the Labor Government.

But if we want to extend the conspiracy, the Governor, Linda Dessau was also on the Essendon Board.

Thanks for correction.  I will go back and change my post.  Family connection is there.

It wasn't so much a conspiracy theory - just mates and favours.

Apologies. I wasn't intending to suggest that you were peddling any conspiracies. I know from your posting history that you're far too sensible to fall for that.

Another new partner

Seems we have a new sponsor coming in on a weekly basis.  Is Perty doing a great job?

Yes I noticed the Board behind Goody during his after match presser was filling up with some new names. 
excellent work under the current world climate 

Time to do some investing!!

Since we’re in an all in lovefest moment I think Gary Pert needs some dry humping too. The club did a magnificent job during the finals campaign to get the WA people on the Dees train or bus (hopefully they can park it in car park E at AAMI).
The Dee for a day campaign was great, we sold a boat load of merch pre grand final and with the flag in the bag the money is rolling in. Feels like the club has ticked a lot of boxes with the not raising membership prices and auto resigning of memberships for next season. Maybe a merch back order process could be better but over all it feels like we’re capturing the moment incredibly well and we’ll not fizz it all away like we’ve seen come clubs do relatively recently.

I agree. He’s been a good appointment. Experienced and well connected. Some of the baseless commentary on this thread is embarrassing.

re the merchandise. I believe the forecast by all parties inc the AFL, MFC and suppliers was well under. Which is a slight miss but I think MFC supporters generally don’t wear as much club kit as other Vic clubs.

I was just reading we'd sold something like three years worth of the stuff in the lead up and post grand final celebrations? Is that still unders?

The selling isn’t the problem. The problem is supply.

Re: merch supply. 
Keep in mind there are a lot of issues going on in China that most people who don’t work in product development like me wouldn’t know about. 
Basically as soon as they get one Covid case they shut the city down. And I mean lock people in their houses. 
There was a big shut down of a big port in China a few weeks ago when a worker tested positive, that is still delaying containers arriving into Australia.

And since the relationship between China and Australia has gone down the toilet, a lot of suppliers have upped their prices. Production is also slower as Australia is no longer a priority growth market. 
Combine all that with the minuscule levels of stock the club is ordering (big scheme of things you got Kmart ordering 500,000 navy T-shirts and MFC ordering 5,000), and they’re always going to be up against it in terms of costs and turnaround times.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
