  1. Yes Joe acted alone. That was the main problem. There was no debate or discussion. i am not disputing he didn’t help save the club from merging. I think you underestimate what could have been done if Members and influential Supporters had been called to arms at the time. It was Joe’s way or else, and that became a great hindrance sadly
  2. He threw in about 80% of what he originally pledged. The last couple of payments were very tough to receive. We were offered a Training Facility in a Prime Spot and Joe turned it down without any discussion or debate. So yes i am having a go at him, as i have said before Revenue Streams could, and should have been set up. We were at The Junction Oval at that stage, that place was a complete Health Hazard
  3. I am just asking a question, not starting an argument if the Radio interview had not taken place, I fully understand your position
  4. Once everything is in the public domain, the dynamics change. I find it interesting there is no discussion allowed considering Goodwin and Pert were interviewed on Radio…
  5. Can Kane Cornes be Sued? He spends his entire shift discussing the Current MFC issues
  6. I never said he should pay for the Facilities. But he made no effort to create any revenue streams to make it possible. I worked with a board member at the time, so i was given some first hand info regularly, We could have raised money for the Lexus Complex and should have. Too late now….
  7. This was a totally separate issue. Gutnick made no effort to engage with Members to raise any revenue for a Training Facility. He just flatly said, we can’t afford that And 20+ years later we are still paying for that atrocious decision
  8. We had our chance many years ago, and turned it down. the contribution of Diamond Joe….
  9. That interview this morning was almost unlistenable. The amount of ads Played in each break was outrageous!! In the old days there was a limit of 6 advertisements per break, that law obviously doesn’t exist anymore
  10. Flag or Bust. Just Do It
  11. Good for you. I would rather the Game was at The ‘G
  12. Dislocated shoulder hitting the water!!! That would be a viscous way to go
  13. I wonder if Michael Warner will write about this tomorrow?
  14. Not at all. A tight competition…We need to become more innovative
  15. I see it differently playing in the NT this year cost us 2nd Spot. Sliding Doors…
  16. As I said, there are many ways we can assist the NT, without giving up home games. ($500,000) We need to make that money elsewhere. I have no interest in hawthorn. They can do as they please. We must aim to be bigger, and not rely on handouts. It only gives opposition an edge they don’t deserve.
  17. Sorry i have no idea what you are trying to say. my point is quite simple Many Years ago when the Dr. McLelland Trophy was awarded to the Team who was the highest finisher of The U19, Reserves and Seniors in a Season, there should have been a Financial Reward. This is for a Competition that pulled 121,000 to a GF in 1970 Where did all that money go?? I have always wondered. Bit like Cricket when Bradman was in charge…
  18. There are many ways we can help the NT, without Selling Home Games. That Philosophy grew from the 2008 era. Our core business is winning Premierships
  19. Sure. But a Lease can still be broken, it is a dangerous thing to do
  20. Any Winnings should go to The MFC So we can stop selling Home Games during a Season, giving our opponents a direct advantage
  21. Back in the Day, each VFL Side had U19 Reserves and Seniors. Back in the Days when September had crowds of 115,000 jammed into The MCG The Good Doctor was awarded back in those days, and there should have been a Financial Prize for the winner
  22. Yes. Kingston have f$&@ the Saints over many times, because they own the land. I wouldn’t build a Multi $Million Complex on someone else’s land
  23. Not if we don’t own the land, that could be absolutely diabolical in years to come….
  24. Sorry. The Dr Mclelland Trophy has been around for Decades. long before the Women’s Comp. it was originally based on U19 Reserves and Seniors There should have been a Pot of Gold up for grabs a long time ago
  25. So you play Billings 20-30 metres from the Goal Square Get him fit, then “Kick 30 Goals for us in 2024 Jack” Another 20 from McAdam… The Aints are still paying him
