But surely that is the whole point we are not winners. Winners can afford to set the terms. Losers have to make adjustments. PS wyl it is all BS as none of this will happen or probably ever even be raised. I just think it is interesting that even if it mean't winning the flag you would not consider it?

What if it was $5million pa for the next 5 years?

Quite a few times this year DC I thought we had just that on the field

The problem is Jt we are a long way from the 1950's half a century in fact. Todays 20 year olds think the "demons" is a symbol of a poor team who play bruise free football. Other than tradition what did it achieve in 2011?

I am not suggesting we do wyl but if it meant a very large sponser with a 5 year commitment from China and a change to the Dragons was what it took then so be it.

Yes I still have it too. The only one missing is 2011

Jackie I have been around for a long time now. The tradition I want desperately to change is the "losing" one. Almost everything else comes second.

Or just the dragons!

Sorry cannot agree, Darwin , China, London, LA I don't care if we only play 10 games in Victoria and 5 at the MCG as long as we win the flag at the MCG I will be very happy. Bring on a powerful and prosperous MFC. That is my main objective. They can even be the the Dragons if that is what it takes. I am well and truely over being the brunt of the sympathy vote. I want success and hate Carn the Dees

Well SD you may have seen me last season in my 2010 scarf. The reason was not that I did not buy a membership but i refused to wear the Maroon and blue we issued last season. As well as that if the 2012 one is not Red and Blue I will again be in the 2010 version.

Well some of us are doing it hard!

I think you are out of luck. I believe they have a break over that period. But welcome to God's country!!!!

No, theses are the members that must retire this year but are all up for re election and as no one is standing against them they are automatically elected.

You must live somewhere different if there is not one Redleg. I was close to making a purchase yesterday but my waist line got in the road.

The AGM is Wednesday 1st February 2012. 6.30 PM at the MCG. No one is standing against retiring members Big Jim, David Thurin, Stuart Grimshaw and Peter Spargo so there will be no need for any voting. This must mean we are all very happy MFC members!

Thats a monster wyl. A liquid lunch?

Yes WJ "the day of infamy"

It is the choir boys bit that is the problem mate

Mail has just arrived with the "Heartbeat Year book 2011" Inside is a "2011 team poster" hell now I will have to go out and get a frame so I can put that photo up to remind me of the great year we had in 2011. Actually does look like a good book.

MONEY i.e. the amount they paid.

I think it has already past it Redleg. The only thing on TV more boring Than the brownlow count is the draft of GWS players. Gee I wonder which 13 of the first 15 picks will GWS take!

Ahh for those days pre expansion WJ

I am surprised you are surprised. The AFL sold it's soul to the great TV god a long while ago. God has decreed he wants exclusivity and 7 has got it.

I really hope so WYL as I have no intention of swapping my legs for wheels any time this decade. I have no problem with the idea I just have a very cyncial view of politicians. They all gild the lilly to suit there re election plans. And god forbid but we have a PM that tell pork pies on a regular basis. So I will believe it when it happens.

That is politican speak for " we have no intention of doing anything for 10 years but lets make them think something is imminent"
