I welcomed a couple of Furphy’s to my face yesterday over a bbq (at home, with the family) and it was grand. Well done Dees.

We're having this issue already.... techs at power generators are earning their $$$$ at the moment. Cost of parts are getting very $$ as well.

That is such a good tune!

Living in the Macedon Ranges it is a tad far for me to ever to go games there damn it. Damn you Perty!! ?

I would be interesting to know the pokies revenue for those 3 Vic clubs. I know Hawks are the biggest blood suckers in terms of pokies revenue but can't recall the other 2.

Didn’t you get Pert’s latest email?! Announced our new training and admin base is at Casey!!!! They couldn’t get what they wanted in the MCG area so had to bite the bullet and move the club to Casey. Potential for home games at Casey as well.

“Happy for”? NUmerous NRL players are back working regular jobs, you would assume A League, NBL, Rugby etc players are all looking for work or at Centrelink.

Read an article the other day saying the Port Magpies are in real trouble and could go under without government help.

I know there is a lot going on but that’s embarrassing to the VFL especially.

In Pert we trust. Imagine if we announce a new base and there are no tenants at AAMI...

Wasn't one of the issues with AAMI the "high cost" for the level of access/facilities/size of the the facilities we get access to? Here is hoping rugby (union) stays, but I'm doubtful rugby will be a game that exists in Aust in the coming years.

Good news for mine especially when 2 of the "big Vic" clubs drop their alignments.

100,000 is just the CV-19 deaths, with hospitals overrun for a period of time other preventable deaths would rise as well.

An ugly truth, but I think this is less so now than at any time in the last 10 years. The players look fit and committed, not with standing the Eagles game which wasn’t a great outing. Also can’t wait for Saty to get stuck into you!

All good Andy!

An opportunity to dope while the testing is reduced or stopped? https://www.bbc.com/sport/52064293

A League player has tested positive for it, played in a closed door game recently.

They take Brown?

The ignore function is wonderful at times like these.

Horrific thought but one that needs to be played out in the boardroom as DJ has mentioned I think this is a real possibility for the 3 bottom tier clubs in Melb, us being one of them.

NHL has a salary cap but the players also pay escrow: ”The NHL and NHLPA withhold a percentage of player salaries, or escrow, during the season as a mechanism to ensure teams and players achieve a 50-50 split of hockey related revenue, per the rules set in the CBA. ... The amount of the escrow is simply a function of how high the cap is. Higher the cap, higher the escrow.” Players hate it as usually they have to pay 5% to escrow to balance out the salary paid vs hockey revenue on top of state taxes (some states have zero tax, some as high as 50%.)

Just why we need the billionaires to get richer by owning clubs.

The salary cap will go down as well with less/no revenue coming in.
