Melbourne to rebuild around Neitz

After initially budgeting for a $1.5million profit, Melbourne's vastly reduced amended forecast is to break even at best, which is worse than Harris' claim last week that the Demons would make a "marginal profit".

....

Over the past 12 months, Melbourne has turned over about 20 of its 30 office staff. Not counting its football department, the average length of service within its administration is 13 months.

With gaming revenue down and an injury-payment blowout, Melbourne's exceptionally high staff turnover has proved costly, accounting for a six-figure hit to its bottom line.

As if we don't have enough problems!

Does this mean Neitz is def playing on. HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Win Lose doesn;t even matter. Get to see the great man for another year.

That article is a very interesting read! It seems Steve Harris may well be in for a bumpy ride!

David Neitz said over a month ago that he wants to play on next year - this shouldn't come as a shock to us, even though in another thready nearly everyone has him hanging the boots up at the end of this year.

Very concerned about the high staff turnover - any workplace that has such a high turnover rate has MAJOR issues.

I have said it many times before, we desperately need to revamp the Bentleigh Club. I live in the area and I can not understand why the management are not trying to attract families - the whole area is either old old old or young families - they should at least give it a go. The old guy behind the bar needs to stop taking angry pills and realise he is in the hospitality industry - doesn't hurt to smile once in a while! Make the club a bit more appealing and then the revenue from the machines might just increase. Worth a go, surely!
