we've been profitable the past 2 years so no operating deficit to fund per cashflow statement there has been a $5.5m investment in property plant and Equip (capex) this year. I presume this is the money spent on Gosch's paddock. This is money that needed to be spent imv so i'm ok with it. Worth noting that the FF generated $833k interest income (see note 3 fin asset income). These are a healthy set of numbers so i don't think the financials will be a fruitful angle of attack for you. Club culture is a different story. Reckon you're on firmer ground criticising the club in that regard

Presumably the $34m refers to Bentleigh and Leighoak combined sales proceeds (leighoak was sold a couple of years ago).

Jackson leaving also meant we got to experience the death ride. That was great fun. This should be factored into the overall value of the trade imo.

If you're using a top pick on a player you need to be confident they will stick around. If a prospect says they would prefer to be based at home it would be an immediate deal breaker for me.

Was excellent before his injury. Hope he can rediscover that form post injury. plays an important role at the club. Keeping Stevie May in line!

Grow a goatee and he'll be a dead ringer for Kenny Powers

Impressive hair

She's been our most consistent player this year and can hold her head high this finals series. Won a three in a row with Dublin and it shows. No resting on her laurels, lack of hunger or complacency from Goldy.

I'm pretty sure @old55 was attempting to apply some levity to the situation. Some gallows humour so to speak (apt given we're chokers now). Nothing wrong with that. I'd have a stab at a second verse myself only I'm not a creative type.

Far out. Another choke. Goddam it. less talk about culture and more action on the field next season please. Very disappointing finals series for both teams for different reasons. hopefully the club can reset properly in the off season and come back stronger next year.

Jumping on a long haul flight back to Melbourne so won’t see the game. Best of luck to the girls. I reckon we’ll show our true colours and win well. go dees

and drugs

Day release. Presumably

Off the mark. Praise the lord.

Ok. I've got yesterday's horror show out of my system now. We can and will beat Geelong. No way this team meekly surrenders again this week. Make a statement about what this team stands. I'd throw Zanker into the middle. She's strong and agile and played there before to good effect. Bring West back in. Leave Harris forward. Campbell and Pearce to do the rucking. We may not go much farther this year but if we are going to lose can we at least die with our boots on. come on girls. you can do it.

I’ll go with this as well

Very very disappointed with that. Embarrassing performance. I wasn’t overly confident coming into the game given our form but that was terrible. We’ve lauded this year the past year or so and rightly so. They’ve been fantastic. The last few weeks have been poor however and today downright embarrassing. We were trounced and lucky to kick a goal. Goldie, Hore and Hanks had a crack. The rest were awful. The appetite for the contest is not there. We hunted like lions last year. This year we’ve been meek as lambs. I’d love to know why. We’re other problems as well but you have to have the heart for the battle. Going back-to-back is very hard to do but our level of performance against the top teams the last month or so has been miles off. Some honest conversations required otherwise Geelong will beat us next week. Mick has his work cut out for him this week that’s for sure.

ow is that not a HTB against Kearney. Not that it matters at this stage but umpiring is as poor as usual

Geelong will fancy their chances next week. i hope we can get our [censored] together sufficiently to win that game at least and avoid the dreaded straight sets.

What is it with the MFC and finals? We've talked up our culture a lot but we're as soft as butter. Demon Spirit my eye.

needs to be some honest conversations after this loss. Zero leadership or intent today. Goldie, Hore and Hanks the only players with any credit from this debacle

we're miles off. if north kicked straigh this would be a shellacking. i think we've been drinking our own bathwater.

we didn;t melt last year though. i think its a hunger/mindset issue as much as anything else.

Goldie always has a crack
