What is a curtain poster? Certainly you are mistaken, haha

I think you should read the Adam Tomlinson thread

GCFC is but one component of a successful business model. Advertisers and TV put up their money based on the exposure generated by having games in all states and territories. The current model where some sides make money and others lose money works because of the big picture and redistribution. Not all business units need to make money if the overall business is sound. The problem with Gold Coast is that they need more and different help. Not more draft picks. One or two free agents outside the salary cap for a start. A real cost on free agents leaving bottom clubs. Players leaving bottom 4 clubs for top 4 sides to have a salary cap penalty to the top 4 clubs. (Or top 8 sides can only get 1 free agent every 5 years) I am glad the Coniglio is staying put, I am glad if the AFL has helped.

Maths is done, maximum output is 100% by definition. Sorry no 108%

How is that possible? Surely if he gives his maximum or best effort that becomes 100% A glass full of water is 100% full, adding more (impossible) does not make it over 100% full, if you can get more in the glass then it was not 100% full. Edit: And don't talk to me about overclocking, which is merely under specifying for reliability.

Easy, Mao is the most ethical, also he actually had vision. Edit: What would happen if Cognilio said, I would prefer that the AFL was led by a CEO that was good at their job and stuck to it?

We are not tanking! Tanking does not exist. I prefer to call it "playing the long game" We are allowing players to play their best albeit sometimes at Casey, sometimes out of position and sometimes they are told to keep away from certain players presumably for their own good. (Sidebottom may have an infectious disease, caused by leather poisoning) No we are not tanking, but if our current selections and coaching is a guide I can understand why you think so. If we are not engaged in "playing the long game" we are in deep poo! But in all seriousness I believe we are "playing the long game".

Another early pick is not the answer. Look at where they are now with all those early picks. 1- Give them access to one free agent outside the salary cap. 2- Give them an end of first round pick that they must swap for a player over 24yo. 3- Embargo free agency from GCS to any side above them on the ladder for 4 years. Edit: 1 I would like to ban free agents going to a top 6 side or leaving a bottom 6 side all together. 2 Destination clubs should pay a fair price to the departure side in all free agency moves.

AFL media circles! It must be true, they never lie, speculate or embellish. I thought you had real info.

Oh Mr K-Dog with one post of reputation, are you really Mrs Bennell or his manager?

Clayton Oliver says hi!

There would be quite a rush in burning memberships, doubt that you would be first.

Make it out to Moorabbin Milk Bar- Opposite Gilbey's Gin under the footbridge Bank details - ES& A bank Highett, plus tuppence ha'penny interest.

My family's friends owned that milkbar and I have passed on your details.

We gave up the picks Adelaide used for Darcy Fogarty and Ned McHenry! I know you will argue that we would have picked differently and picked super stars but we both know that is living in dreamland. The draft is a lottery and Lever was a know quality. In my opinion he will be better for us than two unknowns. Edit:- If you asked Adelaide if they would swap Darcy Fogarty and Ned McHenry for Lever my guess is they would jump for it.

d+ If you close your eyes and imagine he is playing he will have the same impact. I would rather we went experimental, May and OMac forward with Viney as small forward, Preuss to the backline with Oliver , Gus and Salem on the ball. No tanking here just an in season experiment.

My son was coached by McCartney and he liked him, I thought he was a jarring tactless boor (McCartney not my son). Different folks different strokes?

Surname.

Oscar is 45, soon.

About to email the club. If no finals next year it will be my last membership donation. As a MCC member, I don't need it, and I refuse to reward a club that doesn't deliver.

I can always tell when a politician is lying! Their lips move.

How can a team that plays in a prelim finish 5th? Does that mean the you can win a flag and finish 8th?

Oh no! It feels just like when I lost that pair of socks with big holes in them. WGAF

Lighten up Jara, we have played a few finals and even Grand Finals in that time, so not in the swamp at the bottom of the ladder for 50 years.
