old dee

The afl's lenience is all due to their negotiations with the players union. They agreed to this system a few years back for agreement on payment things. Now they are stuck with it and have to try and negotiate their way out. Good luck with that one Gill.

Over the last few years we have seen players traded from a number Clubs for reasons which appear strange given their obvious talent!

Talk is cheap. I will believe when I see planning approvals

So Docklands it is. I am always intrigued by the area known as north Melbourne when it is clearly West Melbourne. Not sure what our founders were thinking.

If you restrict your thinking to near the MCG then the two alternatives are Yarra Park too many problems it will never get approval.. and Goschs paddock. Again I cannot see that area getting the necessary planning changes either. Net result nowhere to spend money. We are just going to have the win flags from the current facilities this decade. It is achievable with this group. Perhaps a docklands alternative? The options are then the suburbs.

We should have such a bar circle for the last half century WJ!

It was on the building wing 90% of the day like you I was watching from the grassy knoll. I reckon the buildings mean shelter from the wind. Not that there was much today. Nice ground actually all day I was thinking this should be our home not the bloody pies. No use crying over spilt milk.

I thought there was way less centre scrums. Game looked better to me as a result.

Agree with all that Ernest but it would appear, you me and BB are at odds with the vast majority. Like BB said I just want good training facilities for the playing group where it is to be honest I don't care. The club seems to be locked into something close to the MCG. That bird has flown IMO so the saga drags on.

What is the point of naming 35 players?

So where Ernest? In the absence of any credible alternative we are there for some time yet.

Could not agree more bb but that does not seem to be the wish of the majority of members. They seem to want a social club. As there is no credible alternative at present then it is Goschs.

This could be an interesting day. Pies win and enough said they will be on their way to a flag. Lose and it will be our Grand final game.

Rather stay at Goschs, at least it is close to the MCG. IMO any social club that is that far from our playing ground will get nine tenths of bugger all patronage. That element won't worry me because I don't need a social facility but for a seemly large number of members it is vital. Win on QB game Monday and who is going to troop to ducklands?

Unless I am mistaken Ernest he was referring to a "home" for the MFC. Unless we move to the outer suburbs then we will be on Goschs paddock for the foreseeable future.

AS I said previously Mr. Leg we don't have anywhere to spend it. There is no location now or in the medium term.

Article on News.com.au saying the group lost a large amount of money over the last year and needs to refinance to the tune of US$1billion. This could be even shorter than the Infiniti deal.

$10 million pa for the next 10 years. Sign them up and I am more than happy. Carn the Jags is fine with me.

If the price is right get it done.

My god we are majoring in minors. Better start playing games people have too much think time.

Electric cars--- the sound of silence!

Dead in the water.

Their money is very nice.

If the price is right yep.

Hmm what about a change from Infiniti to Nissan?
