James Tomkins supporting both Hawthorn and Melbourne?

Looks like the guys over at Big Footy are planning a bit of a reception....... http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/j-day-at-the-g-round-13-v-gws-dees-board-meet-up.908378/

I'd be a worried passenger/pilot if the re-fueller had loaded the jet with Avgas. ( Designed for piston engines, jets run on avtur or JetA1)

Analysing the information provided, it shows that the MFC is now thinking strategically, instead of fighting to stay afloat in the short term. They have identified the problems with the Bentleigh club, particularly location and demographic base and ongoing profitability. Even with a capital injection it would not provide long-term return on investment. Relocation to a commercially viable location is the obvious answer, but in order to do that would require even short term borrowings....buy a site, sell Bentleigh club. I think it was the Beaumaris hotel which would have fitted this criteria recently, but how do you do it financially? On its own the Bentleigh club couldn't do that, so the MFC is the logical "banker of last resort". Transferring to Casey would not be an option per se, because poker machines have limits in each area. To keep the licences they stay in the zone for which they are allocated. Good to see that the club in all aspects is thinking about the future.....
