How much exactly do you know about the club staffing structure? Reads as you know every role in the place, so I’m just curious.

There is considerable financial benefit - not my place to talk to the detail but can guarantee that the Club is much better off being a sporting section that not being one.

None is drawn down at year end. Refer to Note 14 of the financial statements. There is $4.5m available for use, which is the total line of credit.

The financials are until 31 October Jim

Good summary, saved me a lot of typing!

Let me take the time to have a proper read. It was 2 years ago, so some will no doubt have gone towards debt.

the full detail of the financials rather than the website summary does mention the investments were liquidated to get through the year from a cash flow perspective, and the rationale of that decision.

Have had a quick look. The Leighoak was sold in 2018 and was settled even before last financial year, hence the non-mention given it happened all of two financial years ago. You will note some post sale expenses are reflected in the 2019 profit and loss statement.

I haven’t looked at the financials yet, but wasnt the Leighoak sold in 2018 and wouldn’t be in this years result? These accounts would be for the year ended 31 October 2020, unless it didn’t settle until after 1 November 2019 which would be surprising?

Don’t understand this emotional attachment. It is not the MCC’s fault we don’t have a training facility. No other MCG home club trains on it, so why should we. Romanticism aside. The worst decision the administration ever made was turning down the first right for the Collingwood home base.

Has been offered a new contract and will be staying at Essendon

Have a feeling it’s both sides of the coin not having staff working after being stood down due to covid impacts. I for one know most of MFC admin are not working.

People forget how good this kid is. We are no chance, but I would be having a crack.

We are a sporting section again. Jimmy brought us back together. Hence the MCC logo on the back collar of the jumper

Think you will find the contribution is on the rise for all clubs. None of us know what the revenue sharing model is, so what is a “just amount”. We shouldn’t be looking for handouts because of a historical connection with the MCC - let’s build our own revenue base, which we are. https://www.mcc.org.au/whats-on/latest-news/2018/april/mcc-afl-agreement

This is getting plenty of media coverage for an idea which can’t happen, not in many of our lifetimes anyway. Didn’t government recently sign a long term deal to keep the grand final at the MCG?

My source wasn’t the Club

Apologies but don’t know any specifics, will have to wait til 6:30 like the rest of you!

Consider my post the announcement! Lock it in!!

New sponsor ladies and gentlemen. Infiniti Cars You are welcome

Where are these figures coming from? From what I know from inside the Club this couldn’t be any more wrong. Club only writes a cheque when we play as the home club at Etihad, never at the MCG, even when drawing 15000 in the dark days against Freo.

Also noticed he didn't put his body behind the ball on a couple of occasions, which resulted in North taking clean possession. Pre-seasons don't teach that. All mental with this one.

Incorrect. One of the companies we are progressing talks with has already been mentioned in this thread. We will have something done this year, we will just miss out on full value for year one.
