I was told that at a recent business lunch, at an exclusive Australian ‘businessmen’s club’ the CEO was present and told an audience that we are expecting a significant financial loss at the end of the season. I’ve posted this on previous threads and no one seemed to believe it. I think we are back up [censored] creek

not unusual in business for a first year CEO to do some significant write down of assets so as to start from a lower base.

Business 101

The drop in revenue from those last three MCG games would also be significant as we have discussed

If it’s financial, then that’s woeful!  Didn’t they sell off the gaming? They should be flush with money.  Jackson must be chocking on his cornflakes.

membership will take a hit until members see tangible change at the start of 2020.  Cannot keep forking out dollars when the players on this list are mediocre with their comfort zone.

If he was choking on his cornflakes at 3.12pm, then it was definitely time for him to pull the pin.

Having thought about this a bit more, doesn't every club receive funding from the AFL? 

Yes maybe except for a couple.

Jesus they hate GWS!! Fair enough I’d penalise any team who has T Greene in it.

The broadcast rights money ($2.518 Billion) is the biggie.  But one could argue that the clubs generate that income whilst the AFL manages the money. 

Save for the 2 new clubs and maybe Brisbane,  all the other clubs should be able to post profits given the money that is generated.  Huge membership numbers,  tens of millions from pokies,  Tassie,  NT et al,  lots of sponsorship money etc etc.

Money wise,  the sport has never been in better shape.  Even our club was able to pay top dollar for a coach (Roos) ... and it was our generated money that paid Roos' salary too.  Posted profits in all of Paul's 3 years at the club as well.

That would probably do it C13.  I also think the umps have had it in for us even more than usual since this happened...

bentleigh Club will collapse soon after the pokies come out. Wonder if that is our plan. To then sell off the land for residential housing. Not sure we could be that clever though.

I suspect Heritage Overlay would prevent its development as real estate.

Given the nudge-nudge wink-wink tone of the responses to home base questions fielded by both Bartlett & Pert in recent weeks this thought crossed my mind too.

Likely correct JJ.  Which makes the situation even worse. However I did see where or hear that when listed as an asset it is at land value. Such an odd investment when only a token effort has been given to making it a place of welcome for supporters. Some times when I have been there you need to ask to have the Dees game on one of the TVs.

The Amazon is burning, the Arctic is melting, bees are dying, many will be without power over the summer, our cricketers have collapsed and we are going cap in hand to the Commission. Life just doesn’t get any better!

No one seemed to believe it, or they wrote it off as bleeding bloody obvious?

Considering our performance on field this season, the consequent lower attendances, etc. you’d have to be shocked if it wasn’t the case.

Forget logic OD.  Based on examples from some recent posts (some examples above), i reckon this thread has now had it's own JTS moment (see below) and is now in it's final throes...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
