Re: shut up eddy
HANDOUTS???!!! EDDIE COMPLAINING ABOUT HANDOUTS FFS???
At least 75% of the filths membership sales are based on handouts - CENTRELINK handouts.
If that filthy clubs supporter base wasn't made up of Underemployed and Overbreeding filth scum, then we'd see how well He'd run the club.

Re: Peter Gordon makes heaps more sense
I recall at the time of the deal a very credible source close to collo said that he said words to the effect that if we sign the deal we're even dumber than we look.lloyd21 wrote:markp wrote:Peter Gordon is one of the smartest and most articulate people in football.Megamaguire wrote:Heard Peter Gordon (Bulldogs pres) on the KB show and he completely blew Eddie's footy world-view and more importantly the afl world-view out of the water.
Footy is an opinion business but comments mentioned above saying " stadium deals don't matter " are clueless in the extreme.
Stadium crowds Avg return significantly better
West Coast 40,000 lets use them as example they get 70% return from Ground receipts alone without even the " mines " sponsorship
This a fact is in their annual report.
Saints North Bulldogs have been screwed for a long time ,every extra $ coming thru "catering " at Etihad goes to" Essendon"
Hence why the Peter Gordon's viewpoint should be listened to

In 2009, as you like to bring up that example, we only played Melbourne at the 'G in round 22 as an away team. The game drew over 36,000 people...against the wooden spooner and a meaningless game. Our Qualifying and Prelim finals drew 84,000 (Collingwood) and 78,000 (Bulldogs). I know they're finals but it shows that we can draw good crowds for big games at the 'G.
In 2010 we played two H&A games at the 'G. One was a home game against Geelong on a cold and wet Friday night. We drew over 58,000. The other was against Collingwood on a Saturday afternoon. We drew over 81,000 (pity it was an away match).
The point is when we play big teams at the 'G we draw big crowds.
plugger66 wrote:And yes playing big clubs does make more money. We have 32 K members and Richmond have 60k members. We never got 40k and the Tigers still have won a final for many years.We averaged the same crowd numbers as North this year. So what does that tell you? They had a build up as a contender for the top 4. They were built up as a glamour side, yet only averaged 28,820. We averaged 28,840 (in 2009 it was 34,873 for the H&A and in 2010 it was 37,809). That is phenomenal given we went win-less for two long streaks. Ours will go up significantly once we start winning gamesplugger66 wrote:North get fractionally more money than us off the AFL. No where near 2 or 3 million a year which maybe the gap this year and North didnt even get close to playing finals and dont have a good draw as you call it. They do have more members than us though.
How long have North been receiving handouts? How long have we? Isn't this year the first time for us?
No idea why you are mentioning crowds with North as i said members. Anyway its not a great yardstick to be comparing us to North. And also dont get the reason that you are saying North have handouts for years. Doesnt change profit and Loss for one particular year. As for the crowds. yes we can get big crowds at the G when we are winning but we dont when we are losing and at the moment we are losing. Still doesnt change what the point I was making and that is I think there are better ways to spend money especially as we dont have much of it.

Re: shut up eddy
No idea why you don't know why I am using North as the example. You did bring them up initially. Bigger crowds usually translates to more members. North's membership probably won't grow much more than it is now. Ours will.plugger66 wrote:No idea why you are mentioning crowds with North as i said members.

Our three games at the 'G this season had crowds of 56,783 v Richmond, 28,751 v Melbourne and 52,184 v Richmond again. That's two games over 50k in a crap season.
Imagine what we'd get every week against Victorian teams!
70-80k v Collingwood and Essendon
60-70k v Carlton
50-60k v Richmond, Hawthorn and Geelong (more when we're winning).
The point is that if we weren't locked into our stadium deal then we wouldn't be a club that struggles financially.
So how we spend our money is our business and not the business of the president of a rival club that is gifted favourable draws and guaranteed blockbusters.

Firstly Eddie didnt name us as a team that is wasting money. Secondly it is up to us how we spend our money and thirdly as this forum is for opinions I think we could use the money better but of course I dont have the full facts but neither do most other people when discussing things. Still dont the North crowd thing. We made 2 GF's in a row and still didnt get 40k members but were getting many to games, where as north who didnt even make the 8 had 35K members.

right toward the end Terry Dillon- COO from the Saints refutes Pert's and Eddie's
the club itself is only putting in a 5 figure amount-approx the same as would be spent on a camp in Australia.
the trip was only firmly committed to 6 weeks ago when funding was secured... corporate, every person attending contributing personally as well.
club will post a loss BUt NOwhere near the amount floated in the media.- 2 very large amounts contribute to this-
will be announced within the next 2 weeks ......

Re: shut up eddy
I'd love to see a calculation of comparative revenues:
What we have earned from our games at Etihad compared to the figure we would have made if our home games had been at the MCG over the past 12 years.
MY wild guess is that having our home games at Etihad rather then the MCG has cost us somewhere between 20 and 30 million dollars in the past dozen years, perhaps more.

Re: shut up eddy
YOU have to have a crowd of at least 28,000 before you make a single dollar at Etihad. I'm sure clubs make a very tidy profit from a crowd like that at the MCG.
So, Eddy, Collingwood can play at Etihad and we'll play at the MCG. Let's see how much money YOU make by playing games at Etihad

It all depends on the deals. Its not as simple as that. For a start if the pies played at Etihad then it would be reserved seating every game so there is more money. if we played at the G hardly anyone would reserve a seat where as many pies members do because of the huge crowds. The G deal isnt that good for the clubs with poor support. Geelong dwarfs all returns from grounds in Victoria. Yes they get better ruturns that us but we are getting a 8 million grant over 3 years to make up for the poor returns. Anyway where ever you play or whoever you play matters little with the number of members you have. We have 32k and they have 80k. Reckon thats 5 million difference even without reserved seats.

The inaugural Virgin Australia Film Festival has launched! As the Official Airline Partner of the AFL, we invited clubs to create a short film based on the theme ‘Extra Mile’.
The winners will be decided entirely by you. The three clubs with the films which receive the most engagement on our Facebook page up until Grand Final Day will win flights for their team to the US for their altitude training.

Yes i know that and thats why I said only 200k. Not sure how you get 80k but maybe you can explain. The club said our sponsors chipped in money. I would question why they would only chip in money for a trip and not to help us get another coach.

Re: shut up eddy
After Jolly's latest outburst, it would seem there is some disharmony at Filthwood. Their favourite son is turning out to be a lemon of a coach. They are expected to go on the slide. Could see an exodus of their star players in the next few years. Possibly a club about to enter the AFL wilderness. The return of the Colliwobbles imminent? Well, we can only hope that is the case.stinger wrote:i liked it a whole lot better when they had won none since 1958....bobmurray wrote:Is fat Ed president for life or will we wake up one day and find out he's quit or been voted out or the ultimate, been given the arse...

Re: shut up eddy
50*2000 = 100k in airfares Accomodation and meals = $200/night x 50 = $10,000 day x 14 = $140k
so about 250k for 50 people
so about 250k for 50 people
