Re: Private Ownership ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Melbourne_Football_Club North Melbourne is unique in its structure, because from 1986 to 2006 the club was privately owned and limited by shares. The club was floated in 1986 through a membership vote led by then chairman Bob Ansett. At the meeting, members were en...

Re: Ready for 2015? I am!

Football in 2914. There will be no stadiums as we know of today. You will enter a room that will be set up just like a current day private box. The glass in front of you will be a screen that has virtual reality, from players to umpires, goal post and crowds. No real people, as former players took t...

Re: Really bad expressions and cliches used by commentators

Recently the TV commentators were talking about kicking the ball into "Touch". They also say that the boundary rider is on the "Side Lines". When our footballers are on the ground fighting for the ball it looks nothing like a "Scrum". These are all Rugby, and Rugby Leag...

Re: Congratulations Lenny and Brian

There were enduring names involved in the Subiaco team that broke a 49-year premiership drought in 1973. The captain-coach was Ross Smith, a member of St Kilda’s premiership team of 1966, as was Brian Sierakowski, who lined up a centre-half-forward for Subiaco. Peter Featherby played in the centre a...

Re: Jimmy and John and 'that' day...

I did not see the incident at Moorabbin that day.
But there is one person who would know exactly what happened.

It may be time for Jimmy O'Dea to produce an autobiography.
They could then make a telly movie with half the profit going directly to John Greening.

If Nick was required to play out his contract in 2014, we would have lost him as a free agent in 12 months. They will be looking at changing free agency compensation at the end of this trade period. In 12 months we would probably get less compo. The club has done the right thing for the future. We d...
