I honestly hope he leaves now. I can only see negatives in signing up someone so young (and overrated going by 2011 form) at 5-600k per year. While I'd love to keep him at 2-300k, its best for the MFC that he leaves, and we take the picks.

Same can be said for other clubs these days. Our proportion of the MCC membership is slowly dwindling.

This thread should be closed. We are sponsored by EnergyWatch, not Bank of Melbourne! B)

But but but, I'm happy with my energy provider

Actually, a court would NEVER grant specific performance for a contract of employment. If he was to accept an offer (if one has even been made), no legal action would ensue. Last thing St Kilda would want is prolonged press coverage over the preseason and into next season. Especially one where they have only minimal prospects of minimal damages. Only thing that would save St Kilda is a clause to the effect of "you shall not work as a senior AFL coach within twelve months of leaving St Kilda' - but Lyon should get a new manager if he ever agreed to such a thing!

Why would we have to pay? We aren't breaking any contract. St Kilda will not sue him if he left, so no pay out required. But on topic, I'm not sure I like the idea of Lyon.

Yep, you must have been living under a rock these past years... Been happening once a year for at least the past couple of years.

Would make sense. He was considered for our CEO position in 2008. 2008 article

I'm sure it is, but why perpetuate it while inferring you know more than we do? Especially on one of the better days the MFC has had for a few weeks.

Honestly... Either provide some information, or stay quiet. Stirring like this just adds to the already abundant negativity around here.

Tom who?

Mmm, their win over Sydney messed us up. But this club does not deserve to make finals this year.

While the reported figure appears great (and surprising), our inability to retain Kaspersky or Hankook beyond their first deals is concerning. This is especially so for Kaspersky as they are actively expanding sports sponsorship in Australia (see Manly Sea Eagles).

Record number of lapsed memberships next year.

I see Scully at a cafe in Blacktown a lot recently.

That's the spirit.

I seem to be alone (or close to it) in thinking Walker's mark should not win MOTY. Sure it was a great mark, but people talking about "best in 40 years"..? It was a chest mark! That ruins it for me.

Haha, headline on the afl.com.au: Demons lose Scully

Most of you are being very naive about the whole process... There are 44 players on a playing list. The FD can't throw unlimited money at every promising player we have and hope we end up under the cap. With uncertainty surrounding Scully, it becomes very difficult to manage the contracts until that is settled. Every club has a couple of delayed contract negotiations each year, nothing out of the ordinary here.

Blasphemy!

Just opened up (and then closed) about 16 links, does that generate revenue?

If its the one I'm thinking of, then there was nothing in it, and we would look pathetic if we said otherwise.

Haha yeah, that walk to the box is ridiculous! Also, the coaches go through a fair few lollies up in the box there!
