Old Lingy shouldn’t trust anyone from Geelong ever again, the story about his leasing the Cunningham Pier from The golden boy Frank Costa is brutal. He had to sell the house to cover his debts.

    Sounds like he was very poorly advised and probably signed up because the Costa's were involved.

    Make sure Folks you have proper financial and legal advice before signing contracts and be very careful about doing business with friends and acquaintances. Very harsh life lesson for Ling

    Interesting background Cards. 

    The Costas were approved Lessees of the Pier from the Crown under a before-the-time unheard of 99 year lease developed under the Kennett govt. The lease is 3 volumes long I am told.

    This lease underpinned the pier develoments which to this day I have no idea why they are patronised. The Pier is really nothing more than an unsightly carpark with a gawdy building on the end killing all sightlines. Kennett was repsonsibibel for a fabulous re-build of the Geelong foreshore. This Pier works allowed under the lease was not a component of tha.

    I now feel sorry for Lingy and hope he can recover from this. It would have been hugely stresful.

    That's so sad for Lingy. He was 'lauded' as a successful businessman, but obviously dropped the ball on this one.

    He is also apparently a top bloke.

    So much suffering ATM. I feel so sorry for Lingy, and everyone else facing financial (and other) distress.

    A lesson in diversifying investments. Nothing is without risk and it is crazy to put so much into a project that your house is on the line (even if you think it is low risk). The height of stupidity.

    Give me the simple life thank you very much. I would never want to put myself through the stress of a big investment or owning a business. Sure the payoff could be great, but if it goes wrong your life can be absolute hell.

    Easy money Frank would have said, “Lingy, trust me mate, I’ve got your back… just sign here”.

    Chook it’s finding the balance and doing your research/finding good people to bring around you/give you advice.
     

    I’ve got mates who all they do is look for deals and do very well out of it. I’m pretty conservative only because I know my limitations and not willing to invest that time to learn/or not smart enough lol.

    First lesson: Steer clear of guys with shifty surnames.

    Costa and Shokman aren't even subtle as far as pantomime villain last names go.

    Messers Rippov and Forklous are next.

    • 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.
