a few general comments I think we have one of the lowest supporter base so it makes sense that our junior base is small and therefore our membership base is small our lack of success(flags) in the last 40 years also means our supporter base is small, you just dont get fans overnight so to speak by being unsucessful( yes i know north melb counters my argument flags in 96 and 99 did not translate into thousands of new supporters) lies ,dam lies and statistics the mcc dilutes our supporter base lack of positive media coverage, the last 12 years has been a disaster, the merger , salary cap problems, staff turnover, president turnover, player off field indiscretions( minimal compared to other teams but nether the less bad) as stated earlier family influence is important, had i followed my older sister , i would still be celebrating from saturday

Hope the deal with council has been signed Methane gas crisis cash bid lost by councillor :September 17, 2008 12:00am A COUNCILLOR'S bid to have $1.25 million redirected from a Melbourne Football Club deal to residents hit by the Cranbourne methane crisis has failed. This year's AFL wooden spooner had a deal with the Casey Council to relocate to the Casey fields this summer. But Cr Kevin Bradford last night asked for the $1.25 million sports field improvement fund, which is needed to sign a $500,000 deal with the Demons, be redirected to help residents with the gas crisis. Cr Bradford's motion was defeated, bringing boos and abuse from the packed gallery, but council voted to defer rates for Brookland Greens estate residents. Last week residents in the estate were told to flee their homes because dangerous levels of methane gas was oozing from a neighbouring landfill. Since then 29 families evacuated and the State Government announced emergency funding to help relocation. Families who have chosen to move back into the estate may be relying on methane monitors that may not work. At least one monitor stopped working after registering dangerously high levels of gas in a family home, hours after its owners moved back in. Che Oakley, his wife Kym and their three children moved back into their Cherry Hill Drive home on Saturday when the monitor they'd been given started beeping wildly. "We rang the number only to find it was an automated council service," Mr Oakley said. "When I finally got through to the emergency centre the woman who answered didn't even know what Brookland Greens was." Mr Oakley said a technician later said the monitor was faulty. The family lives 150m away from the landfill site. The CFA said no readings of methane in homes had been detected in the last 48 hours. The state's Ombudsman will immediately investigate the estate's methane problem. Cr Bradford said at the meeting last night the council's first responsibility was to homeless residents, not to an AFL club. His motion was defeated 5-4 but another motion to give residents rate relief for one year was carried. Deputy Mayor Colin Butler chaired the meeting after Mayor Janet Halsall failed to front the angry crowd. Cr Halsall also failed to attend a public meeting last week. - Matt Johnston, Ian Royall and Geraldine Mitchell Since the councils budget is now under pressure by giving rate relief and possible legal action the $1.25m might be all that the sports field gets

Heat on AFL, Ben Holland, Brendan Fevola over wild behaviour Thats all we need as a club, not :angry:

Joeboy would be happy with your 3 word analysis

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...00-2722,00.html The problem I see is that Mcnamee a non football person was backed by Gardner a non football person, Gardner is gone so will Mcnamee have the boards support. Unfortunately at the end of the day Melbourne is a football club not a tennis org or golf org so football experience is looked upon as a major asset something Mcnamee did not have. Had we not been in a such a financial mess Gardiner and Harris would still be around so this thread would not exist.

I blame Joeboy and his three word analysis for all this So are players banned from reading the papers when players get questioned or watching tv ? Will they stop appearing on the footy show? Clubs cant have it both ways, accept adulation and reject 'legitimate"(personal slurs etc are not on) criticism. Does the ban expand to presidents? I know one president who reads and responds on these fan web sites .

I also think Bassett was diagnosed with Diabetis the week he broke his sternum

Makes Sundays game a must win game or we are stuffed

and dermie was a bench player if I recall, Teds last big V game before passing away and a very cold day

at least its one less game to get injuries in :D

On field success does not guarantee financial success. Look at North, won 2 flags in 4 years (96 and 99) and are still getting AFL help.

Lots to read , wont copy them here, since the Age is a Melbourne Sponsor and if you read this is then I reckon you can find the Age on line Eye opening story about Bailey visiting the young players at home for dinner with little notice, not suprising the first lot almost ...themselves..lol

Fair call but you would expected neitz with a reebok jumper swapping with a player sponsored by reebok not adidas

All the best Paul Can we get Sharapova as the no 1 supporter? :

Demons lost a coach and respect last year. It won't happen again

taken from another website, Colin's view Melb: - Tom McNamara (Plays conservatively but capable of much more offensively. Pick 66 but my #14 in '07 draft). - Kyle Cheney (tough, professional. Pick 53 but my #41 in '07 draft - I like him more than 41 might suggest). [Aussie Wonaemirri also exciting - ability to get/stay in good condition was/is my concern with him].

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/com...5E20322,00.html MELBOURNE has suffered its first major injury blow of the season with leading onballer Cameron Bruce ruled out for at least a month with a knee complaint. Bruce strained his medial ligament in a contested training drill on Friday and was on crutches yesterday as the Demons flew to their Canberra Community Camp. While the Demons put a positive spin on Bruce's injury and said he would be fit for Round 1, it is terrible timing. With the loss of Travis Johnstone to the Brisbane Lions, the 28-year-old is expected to lead the onball brigade under new coach Dean Bailey. The club said yesterday it was hopeful Bruce would play several practice games in preparation for the Demons' Round 1 clash against Hawthorn on March 23. Having last week named in the club's new-look leadership group, Bruce missed six games through hamstring injuries last year but had completed an excellent pre-season. Now he has been sidelined only days before the club's first intra-club clash, and its NAB Cup opener against premier Geelong on February 16. The Demons postponed a scheduled hitout last Friday with several players sore but are expected to complete their first intraclub match this Friday at Canberra's Ainslie Oval. Melbourne football manager Craig Cameron said the club was thankful Bruce had enough time to recuperate to be fit for the first round. "It will be a few weeks. We are just getting the weight off the knee at the moment, and we will have a conservative approach leading into the pre-season games, but we expect him to play a few practice matches and be ready for Round 1," Cameron said. "I think it was a tackling drill, just physical contact. They are doing contested ball work and this transition from fitness training into game play, that's when a lot of different injuries bob up." Like most clubs, the Demons had escaped without incident in the pre-season, with only a handful of players having being managed through the summer. Ruck recruit John Meeson has starred on the track, while Adem Yze, Clint Bartram and Brent Moloney are on target after struggling with injury last season. Top-five draft pick Cale Morton has impressed in his first pre-season and is expected to get a chance early in the NAB Cup. The club yesterday began its five-day camp in Canberra which will include training camps, school visits, a superclinic, and a visit to the War Memorial. Two Chinese junior footballers joined them in Canberra yesterday as part of a professional development scholarship. Zhao Wei and Zhao Yonggen will co-captain the Chinese national side during the AFL International Cup later this year, with China competing for the first time.

We have to pay $200,000 next year to him like we did for Woewodin. Also the directors and auditors are disputing the payment's catergory in the clubs books. If the auditors have there way, this years profit should be loss. The directors classify the payment for next year as it due next year. I'll let you green pens explain http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/dees...8175414015.html

Thanks Craig, A great 11 years, well done on life membership. I guess you can be 'arrogant' at Richmond.
