what kind of shape are the financials in given we missed out on all our money-spinning games this year due to covid

How big should the GrandxFinsl crowd be tipped at 60 or 70 or 75 or 85,000 At the MCG ???

phillip from Brisbane 57 year member 

 

An obvious one. Having Gill , Roffey , himself etc there at the announcement of a simple 3 mil ground surface upgrade looked on the surface like making a big deal about v little. Had to be a signal that it was more than that .  How far advanced are they re facilities that will bring all of the arms of the club bk under one roof? 


Is CS's desk still in residence? And if it is, is it as ostentatious as we have been led to believe?

Tell him to ask Tim Lamb if we're planning to trade into the draft! :D

Thanks Guys, for organizing the very timely interview with Perty, and as always, for your very insightful and balanced analyses.  Go Dees!

 

Soft-ball. I'm curious if Pert expects some loss-sharing mechanism to be applied by the AFL for the 2021season? 


I will put my hand up as one one of those who had concerns when Pert came on board, based on his history at Collingwood. Now completely sold. Appreciate his candidness and application. Love when he says 'us' and 'we', and that he has a football playing background. 

thanks for this. A great interview. Pert is definitely growing on me. He feels less corporate and more football than i first thought and seems to love the club. Bit of a worry re the 8 mill loss over 2 seasons though. Guess it’s true fr all clubs. 

Great interview with Perty guys, well done. Highly reassuring to hear his response to the possible game in Darwin vs Adelaide (29.15 mark of the podcast). Being at our best running into the finals, playing at the MCG, with no interest in putting the boys onto a long haul flight which could disrupt that.  


tl;dr of key points?

Not being social media savvy, i had no idea what tl;dr stood for. So googled it. This was the second definition listed:

 

Generally speaking, you should only use TLDR when summarizing a piece of text, whether you're the author or commenter. Using the phrase TLDR without offering a useful summary for the content can come off as intentionally rude (but of course, that may be your intention).2 Aug 2019

You learn something new every day. 

But I'm confused. Should you have not asked TL:DL of key points? As in: too long, did not listen. 

In any case here is a summary of the key points: FIITWOMMDYAFAHAL

As in: fantastic interview - in the immortal words of of Molly Meldrum, do yourself a favour and have a listen.

Cheers, fellas. Top listening as always... Thanks to Gary for his time. Doing a bang-up job, I reckon.

Excellent again gents, ta. Very calming, informative interview.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
