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

    Very harsh one to learn! Gives a new slant to the old Frankie was a great guy narrative too…

    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.

    Really hope Mark Neeld was commentating on K-Rock again 

    I think Neeld is up for appointment as Scott’s replacement.  After all, anything that can go wrong at KP, he has seen and felt.

    I reckon Captain Gawn might have taken exception to Stanley getting coaches votes in Rd 23. 😉

    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.

    No virus I would not believe anything Scott says, he is always ready with excuses, could not look straight into the camera

    When I walk into work on Tuesday I don’t care what their excuses are, my grin will speak a billion words.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
