I assume West Coast and Fremantle survive without this revenue stream?

I suggest those happy with this situation and labelling those who use the machines as 'idiots' haven't first hand experience with this scourge on society, be that themselves or family members.

Pokie use isn't always a vice connected with the idiots and the uneducated, there is a lot of research that connects those suffering depression and escapism to the booze and pokies, I could therefore never support this as an ethical revenue stream. The AFL, clubs and the government should be ashamed in condoning this ridiculous tax on those in our society with this problem.

Unfortunately I love my footy and this club too much to turn my back on it because of this issue, but ill continue to vent my strong opposition at every opportunity.

I'm all for it.

I think stress and pressure played a big part in some players drop in form, so hopefully the likes of Trengove and others get something from it.

Grr Etihad

Why are we so worried about what outsiders think of our club?

Are we happy? Is the club happy? Why does it matter?

Because perception matters and some players might actually listen to this [censored] and think twice about joining us.

He has such a [censored] for Nth Melbourne it's embarrassing.

I don't think we know where PJ stands on this, we already had a contract with the NT Government didn't we was it renewed while PJ was at the helm?

Anyway old guard, just deal with it be happy the club is still alive and kicking.

This "we are Melbourne and only Melbourne" type stuff that grates a little on us non Melbourne location fans, I love this club as much as you, why else would I waste my team reading some of the tripe dished up on these forums.

What did I just read??

I think Roos decided on Dew a while ago, so will wait to make that happen.

Shame Ling is out as assistant, don't really want Voss though.

I'm not worried at all bout 2/3 years. We'll see the change in culture start to happen I just want to watch a game against a quality side that isn't a 180 point belting... bar is low

"It might be a longer term association in some other way".... interesting, Hope so!

Yeahh!!! Awesome news to wake up to over here in London!!

Ughh Brisbane all over again, need Roosey to rule himself our before I can relax.

I dare say Demonland is a source for lots of these hacks

I'm guessing after Roos comments about the B&F they'll announce on Tuesday

** Edit, if it happens that is

And what about Neil Craig interviewing with Lions?

I find this quite amusing.

I'm not privy to Craig's feelings, but I imagine he in part shared some of the same attitudes as Neeld towards the players.

I wonder how he felt in regards to Moloney and Martin?

It's not exactly Neeld, but it's possible that Craig could be the absolute next closest thing!

Karma might just be a b*tch afterall...

Off topic a little but no way Brisbane will pick up Craig, supporters will go crazy dumping Vossy for him.... They'll go down our old path, untried assistants.

Unless his Son is going to Uni in Perth, considering how family oriented he is can't see him living on the other side of the country.

, but not for a long time have I actually looked forward to round1,

If it's against a top 4 I probably won't look forward to it. We'll still get smashed and despair may reign supreme again.

Look if pull ourselves from the bottom and notch a few wins next year members will increase dramatically and we'll be rolling in dosh. As someone on the Lions forum said Melbourne has a lot of dormant members (Brisbane/Fitzroy not as many) who will get on board when we start winning again.... Posers no doubt, but i'll still take their money!

Then the North Melbourne comparisons can finally cease.

All hypothetical of course.

... Loved the reaction of Eddie and Jason on the panel. Can't wait to hear the official news if and when it arrives.

Me too, watched that clip a number of times such a shock to everybody, loved it.

Anyone got a link to the Demon side Paul Roos put in the Herald Sun a couple of months back?

Would be interesting to have a look now.

Question mark in front of Jamar, suspect Gawn would make his way into that list in that spot if he wrote the article now.

Posters need to calm down. You all know what 50/50 means right?

We don't need to calm down, this is trending on the Lions forum, of course people on here are going to get excited.

Why don't you explain to us all what 50/50 is then, yesterday it was close to 0%... I'm excited.

However if you were just promoting people to temper their expectations, alas they be devastated if it doesn't happen, fair enough.

Made my day, it's going to hurt that much more if it falls through

A preview of off season topics

Would be a huge get.

Just wish the next thread will be a fact rather than another rumour.
