Sir Why You Little

Live Sport is the last big ticket FTA TV has left, the used to have movies and Drama Series as well, but that is no more. Netflix and HBO have those now. So sport is critical to FTA. Foxtel is about 30% Audience Subscription at this point. Motorsport is now almost all Foxtel and it has lost a lot of it’s audience, apart from Bathurst. The AFL must stay on FTA...

If you don’t want to believe that a TV Network still has some pull with live sport, then you are just wrong. They do, particulaiarly when the price they have paid is nearly 7 figures over 5 years. The Television era began in 1965, just as we fell over Generations have watched certain teams win finals and flags on the TV. But we missed all that and it has impacted the club over time, whether you want to believe it or not. Carlscum have 16 Cups, many of them since 1968, Ch7 (and the AFL) were banking on a Carlscum improvement, it completely backfired. So we were stuck with Rubbish on Friday nights ad nauseum. What made it worse was that St. Kilda were just as bad, now i have no idea why the Aints got given so much, but i do know about Carlscum. I doubt the same mistakes will be made again, Friday night Commercial spots can cover the cost of a whole week in TV Land. People turning off at halftime is not part of the deal

Memos get past around TV Stations from time to time. People know each other. Some of them got passed on to me. And yes, Channel 7 has a big say in what is shown where. They overpaid to get the rights. Not a 100% say, but a big say. In 2018 they got it wrong in many ways and it cost them a lot of money ? but like Essendrug, when Carlscum get their act together, they will be given an armchair ride. We, the MFC will have to work very hard to get a strong footing. We haven’t been successful in the TV ? era Carlton have been....

It was a shocking decision that was ammended. You make out like i agreed with it. I was just passing on memos that were shown to me early last year. The AFL lost a lot of revenue last year during the season, they were lucky the crowds returned in September.

Not a bad draw at all, apart from the NT debacle still being played out. F$&@“ Being shunted down to the Cattery again is just ridiculous, but Jeelong get what they want. It’s a tough draw, why not. We want to be a Power side, we EXPECT to beat anyone. The days of searching for the soft option must be gone. I guess Coach Goodwin starts serious work today....

(C) (VC) (DVC) is all that is needed. Keep the leadership titles lean, otherwise the whole system is diluted. Will never be a fan of dual captaincy.

I hope he is now in a better place

I can vouch for that. Mad Monday’s often started at the Vinny. Neita lived in Elwood for a long time

And people worry about the welfare of Gaff...

Considering the message he left the MFC on Instagram i wonder about that. My take on all this is right now, he is not 100% tuned in to play. At the MFC that is what is required. I still hold the hunch he may return in 3-5 years, if he is still fit to play

It’s just not the usual goodbye, see you later message.

3 years in Perth may be enough “Family Time”

If the MFC remains a Premiership contender for years to come, it wouldn’t suprise me one bit if Hogan returned for another stint. That message tells me he is still a Demon deep down, but right now he has to get home...

Well not on here dc!!!

I have the feeling Jesse will play for the Demons again.... just a hunch after reading ? his farewell message

I have to admit to not seeing a lot of May playing. Watching the $un$ play was never high on my list of stuff to do. He is a seriously big unit who can take a mark and hit a target. The fact we have no picks in the 1st round of the draft (yet) does concern me, so these 2 from the $un$ simply must be high class. Fingers Crossed...

That is strange... it really is

I am still sad. It will take a few days to walk away from this... forwards have a special place in our game.

This will be how i shall remember The Colonel. I am sad he will not ever play a Final for us.

I love “The Big O...”

It was always RR. I got that right!!

Not happy but nothing can be done A contract of any length is no more than a handshake Sad to lose a gun forward who has 7-8 years of AFL left in him. I hope we play the Shockers on the ‘G next year

Any AFL Player is a second away from injury a 23 year old Key Forward has years left...

Maybe..OMac was good in the finals. His confidence is rising
