3% from a bank if lucky the way interest rates are now.

The club can invest their money in lots of things, do you really need a list of everything that isnโt gambling?

Oh I don't know, maybe any business that doesn't involve gambling.

Just think of it as getting rid of Jack Watts. Short-term pain of losing a much-loved and skilled player for the long-term gain of ridding the club of a bad influence. There will no doubt be a revenue equivalent of Bayley Fritsch waiting in the wings.

I would love the AFL and all sports to rid themselves of all gambling revenue and I appreciate that there is some hypocrisy here. However, in my mind there is a slight difference between sports betting and pokies. At least sports betting has some skill involved, whereas pokies are machines that a designed so that over a period of time the user is guaranteed to lose money. I'm not trying to defend sports betting (the over saturation of it makes my skin crawl) and I totally agree with your point, but pokies as a product offer its users no benefit at all.

Please, what benefit to society do pokies bring?

They've made profits the last two years from memory. There are other ways to make money other than gambling.

Great news, if North Melbourne can do it then so can we. Really proud of the club for doing this.

Angus Brayshaw
His best ever game was his return game against St Kilda last year where his marking was a highlight. At the very least he could come in and play as a forward, he wouldn't be any worse than Bugg.

I'm grateful the club haven't wasted any time with your questions.

Love the jumper but the names all over it ruin the design.

Having the card sent out prompted me to sign back up straight away. I was always going to renew, this just made it easier especially with the JLT game coming up.

Retro gear
I liked it at the time but looking back it was a mess. We should never have changed from this one: At the very least we should have just tweaked it like we did for this clash jumper that lasted about five minutes:

I cannot believe anyone allows their kids to support other teams.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARRISON PETTY
From watching his highlights (which now makes me an expert) he'll be getting a game sooner rather later. Carry on.

Welcome to Demonland: Bayley Fritsch
He will be a better forward than Watts.

I trust Taylor but we have a lot of key defenders now.

The Irish
Just like how at the start of the year he wasn't suited to Goodwin's game style according to some here. By the way, I can't edit my typo which is frustrating.
