Back in the 60's our family hosted my cousins engagement party, which meant us kids were on cleaning duties for a week.
To make the place look more 'sophisticated' a number of posters were put up on the wall, one of them being a shot of the team on the tarmac in front of the plane that took them to/from Hawaii. Believe it or not.

@CHF you left out all the Saints defender wanted to play on TMc (cranky) to exploit his lack of pace and their 'boom' recruit Hill? continuously kicking it to his mates in the crowd.

Which brings up the question about how long can we celebrate the premiership and when is the right time to start focusing on the season ahead?
My circumstances are slightly different being in FNQ, no family and friends to celebrate with so it has all been online. Having the celebration at the G was some closure I must admit....
That said though we will be at a family celebration in Melbourne soon, everyone is a Dees supporter so it will be fantastic. Let it rip. That will be my last celebration but I am still going to enjoy it.
Not sure how you focus on next season yet especially at this time of year. There is hardly any football news.
What are you supposed to do: watch repeats of our defeat by the Pies to get in the mood?

That’s what I’m hoping for as well.
The no d-heads policy introduced in Roosy’s days has helped.
I think 1991 was also the year Banksy and Mick McGuane hijacked the bus at the golf resort wasn’t it? So you are right they also had a few louts in the team.
And after the last one the Pies realised the players were running the club; they had a culture problem. I don't think we do.

Oh that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This is the outside of my pantry…
And this is where my pet chooks sleep. They don’t know it, but they go for the Demons, too.
And I’ve yet to mount all the awesome framed prints I bought from Joeboy. Gotta find the perfect spot.
You need a bigger pantry.....perhaps the MFC shop?

$2.4M in prepayments for merchandise and memberships paid for before 31 October. That alone wipes out the profit.
Well accounting aint my strong point but this item impacts the balance sheet every single year (pre paid memberships) and has to land somewhere. So yeah like every year it may be misleading long term but imagine how massive our profit would be if it landed next year. Um I think

Very good question. My bank acc is paying 0.05% interest. Could we put it all into Super😄
Btw I thought most clubs organised their books so as not to show too large a profit otherwise the AFL will ignore any request for assistance.

A win is a win whenever or whatever It was after our best performance to date in the 2021 season of smashing the Tigers. No mean feat for our lads to storm home over Roos in Round7.after realising that we were a serious contender.
No mean feet......

Agreed. We’re absolutely hopeless against North at Hobart.
Even during a season when we win a flag and they cop the spoon, we still take 3 and a half qtrs to put them away at Blundstone.
Glad we have given Blundstone the boot.

Most are really fair weather fans...they only have a few rusted on's and I reckon I know most of them.
What did you do to deserve that?

Interesting spin by the MFC
In addition, our travel schedule, will allow a large number of our interstate members and supporters to get along to the football and see the Demons in action in their home states.

Lets take playing WC in Perth as a compliment. Won over the locals big time and hope to do it again?

Came across this vs GCS.
Will give him the benefit of the doubt and say it is an early haircut prototype.

was the initial forecast for a $4m loss this year? I remember hearing we would be $8m worse off ($4m/year) over 2020/2021 due to covid but not sure if that was a $4m loss or just $4m lost revenue. Either way a $2m profit is huge.
Not sure what the initial forecast was but Pert said winning the GF took us from break even to $2mill profit. Thats many T shirts and caps. Naturally there has been an increase in memberships which will have a flow on effect in years to come.

Does the club get the money for sales from the MCG shop? I hope so because that place was packed
Directly, no.
The MCG is controlled by the MCG Trust who have leased the MCG to the MCC.
Naturally the MCG Shop can only sell licensed products, in this case AFL products, so some of the money will come back indirectly via the AFL.
I think.

Gone in 40 seconds.
in Melbourne Demons
and that is what he said in his presser; it wasn't that the Dees had the momentum but that the Dogs let it continue in the last. He let slip something there... whatever was said at 3 quarter time it wasn't believed
