I wrote the below on another thread which covers it for me.
With the exception of the debt reduction under JS the MFC has lurched from one disaster to another continuously over the last decade. In 2103 we find ourselves staring at another huge debt, the poorest team in the competition, no president and zero prospects for 2014. We have clearly shown we cannot run an AFL club. Under these circumstances I do not care if the AFL takes over. IMO it is the only way we will survive. If it takes five years to emerge from AFL control so be it. I want a strong well run MFC. Beyond that the rest are ideals we cannot afford as far as I am concerned.
