brissie are not going to draft him now or in pre season Lions crush Cousins' hopes of comeback The Sunday Times November 28, 2008 07:48pm Text size + -DISGRACED West Coast Eagles champion Ben Cousins' hopes of resurrecting his AFL career appear all but over. The Brisbane Lions last night officially withdrew all interest in recruiting the 2005 Brownlow Medallist, PerhtNow report. Brisbane officials met for more than an hour in their Melbourne hotel on Friday afternoon preparing for Saturday's AFL National Draft and emerged with their bombshell blow to Cousins. Lions football operations manager Graeme Allan confirmed his club's decision, but would make not further comment. "We're out of the race for Cousins," Allan said. Allan and new Lions coach Michael Voss and their entire football recruitment department were involved in what was reported as an intense meeting and final decision not to pursue their endeavours to recruit the 30-year-old Cousins. Only early this week the Lions ruled out taking Cousins as a draft pick, but left open the door for him to join Brisbane through next month's pre-season draft. To read more go to PerthNow possibly opens door for others?

As we have the first psd choice does that mean that if cousins nominates for it we can get him? (salary cap being ok) I am not suggesting I want him, but what does Collingwood and St kilda know?
-
not doubting your knowledge but allocations can be changed, just concerned about dealing with councils (just look at St Kilda with Kingston) who have other issues like elections(as you say) and tight budgets

Since the Casey council is being sued by its residents re the gas issue, one hopes there is a plan B if the casey project goes belly up if the council loses. There may be insurance held by the council for such matters but the next policy may force the council to tighten its belt and not invest in casey fields etc. This is only hypothetical but should be a concern for the MFC board .

MFC undertaking research into its low junior supporter base
Satan replied to titan_uranus's topic in Melbourne Demons
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

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 .
