Rumour 2 Melbourne Clubs in Dire Straits

[1873 United]

I heard a rumour today that two clubs are in absolute peril and neither are of the usual suspects. Has anyone got any information (rumour) on this?

 

[Quivorir]

St Kilda surely one.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Heard Richmond's upgrade of punt road blew out (years ago now) but doubt it'd be that much to be of any c9ncerm, particularly with the best part of 80% being paid for by the state and federal govt.

My sources at AFL House tell me North are on the precipice.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Just 2?

 

[Beerfish]

My sources at AFL House tell me North are on the precipice.

I don't know why. They don't owe any money to anyone, don't get handouts, don't have pokies. They're the very model of a successful football club. Just ask their supporter.

 

[Greenery]

Melbourne and St kilda have the worst balances I'd guess

 

[Deathly]

OP did you make this thread to help cope with your club's situation?

Hey Carol, don't you mean "prethipithe"

Coming from a Saints poster, interesting.

Heard rumours that it's Carlton and Melbourne

Yeah, being 100% serious here: not sure about Melbourne or North, but I have it on very, very good authority that Carlton are ****ed.

 

[Bell End]

I have it on good authority from a source very high up within the afl that, and I quote "we are going into this with 18 clubs and we'll come out of it with 18 clubs." My source can be a bit untrustworthy though so take it with a grain of salt.

He never said they were the same clubs though.

Yeah could definitely see a new club starting up in 2021. The AFL hasn't got enough to deal with right now.

Hopefully Gil’s Latest Trick is to give these clubs some Money For Nothing to help them stay afloat

Will be interesting to see if the pokie baron and the cardboard widow lend a hand.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

I’d be looking at two clubs that have very recently cut ties with their associated VFL team and also have poker machines...Can confirm these are the two.

 

[Beerfish]

Show of hands who could live without Carlton then?

I read a rumour on here that it may be Carlton. Other clubs have been implicated, but Carlton was mentioned at least TWICE.
(And I’ve supplied a link to prove I’m not making this up)

Have they been in the comp the past 20 years?

Very clever.. love the first song, so underrated.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

So it’s come out today that it’s Gold Coast and North. They have two weeks until they completely run out of cash.

'So two Melbourne clubs you WONT BELIEVE have no money!'
