Brad Green on a very good interview with The Deebrief was very positive about Caulfield and dismissive of The Age article re funding etc. “I shake my head & wonder where they get their info from”. (Paraphrasing). It was an informative..balanced & positive interview . All our resident doomsayers will cast aspersions but it’s worth a listen.

i was quite disappointed with the question i and many others asked re goal kicking- can we get a specialist goal kicking coach? or is someone helping the players or even himself, said no to both because apparently the players don't want to listen too many coaches at once???? one positive I took from the interview that he agrees turner is a natural defender and should stay down there, thank god someone from the club agrees with me on this and it being the boss man

1/10th the price and utterly useless for a club with afl, aflw, vfl, and vflw teams to manage

Exactly why hawks have worked for the last 15 years to get out of the joint

The saying "beggars can't be choosers" comes to mind

The saying "who gives a [censored] about vflw" also comes to mind

Pity the didn’t go harder on all betting sponsorship

If the government is against poker machines they could always, I dunno, make them illegal?

well, get used to it

the melbourne football club does give a [censored]

it's in keeping with the 'whole of club' approach - we run four teams, and will continue to do so for as long as we exist

Sure they could, but you know they won’t.

Melbourne was a much better city before the Casino went in

The Gov .. all of them, love gambling, love tobacco, love alcohol.

Only have to judge by actions ( inaction ) and all that taxation revenue.

Very naughty of the fun police going around pointing guns at heads making people do these incorrigible things. Bastards !!

Particularly when the majority of debt is owned by the RBA at 0.1%...

Is VFL and VFLW even part of the MFC? I've lost track over the years, did we officially take over Casey (I guess when they changed from Scorpions (?) to Demons??)

Yes they did.

But they created Revenue for the Club and they were never illegal, so unless we could find another stream of income, i was always suprised we got rid of them so quickly

I think the AFL told Clubs to do so

Except that Carlton, Essendon, St Kilda and Richmond still have them.

Crown fed the entire South Melbourne precinct with investment. Without it, it might still be a wasteland. Love or hate gambling and the casino, it has transformed our city for the better.

Disagree

Before the Casino rolled in i felt safe walking the streets of the CBD 24/7..

I worked a lot of nights so would often go into Melbourne at 3-4am for a few nightcaps.

Very soon after Crown went in that all changed…

i might suggest that this is correlation and not causation. although i do agree with you re casino. a more soulless place doesnt exist.

It almost happened overnight

Asian Big time Gamblers and that’s when the knives started appearing on the streets

I walked the CBD for years before Crown went in

Dance Parties in warehouses people didn’t know even existed, Crown changed the whole landscape
