Oppo Camp Non-Lions Discussion 2025

[dlanod]

Just on your point though it's inconceivable someone of his intelligence ( I'm assuming you need a few neurons to be Carlton President ) would be sending that sort of material to a likewise person in a similar position of authority without some sort of prior interaction or a reason to believe that it's not totally unwelcome.

Hysterical all round.

I've met enough of that level to know it's definitely not inconceivable. It's absolutely unlikely but there's some absolute pieces of shit who float to the top.

 

[dlanod]

I still reckon someone he knew, that knew of something he was doing privately, tweeted it from his account.

One of two options - that, or he literally just ****ed up when trying to send a DM.

Like the time Reilly O'Brien tweeted to the world that Nic Nat was no good?

Haha. They do.

He actually seems like a real tosser.

Not that I want to jump to any conclusions.

But after this it's hard not to.

 

[dlanod]

What's even more incredulous is that Sayers went on record and said he had no knowledge of what PwC was up to with those tax leaks scandal despite bein the CEO whilst he was supposedly also head of Tax and Legal or from that background.

I mean how is that even possible? Sure, he resigned before all of that broke but it was on his watch and secondly, how can you not question that he resigned because he knew the shit would hit the fan and he was protecting himself by distancing himself from PwC.

Weaponised ignorance. It's not uncommon - you won't be held accountable if you deliberately avoid finding out anything (even if you absolutely should be, because that's your job).

Meanwhile on the other side of Fitzroy...

Looks like kick-mark has arrived folks. Everybody copies the premier, and it seems that we are no exception.

King wanking over a big Vic club. Thats news?

Can't read the article but it's telling that out of all the teams that play more than a handful of home games there, only 1 has won a flag since 2000.

It's yet another reason why I was a massive advocate for making the dimensions of Michael Voss Oval as close as possible to those at the MCG. Which is also what we should be aiming for with any new stadium in Brisbane.

Going back a while but Richmond were perennial bottom dwellers until they moved their home games to the MCG in 1965 which preceded their most successful era.

Having said that Melbourne have played at the MCG since forever.

Just my opinion, but it may be about playing indoors with no wind to speak of.
Also, from what i read ( i have never been there) it is quite a hard playing surface.
So, always a fast track opposed to one that can change from week to week at the MCG and all other grounds really.

Without checking the facts teams based there probably get to play as many games at the MCG as interstate teams though.

 

[rye]

to be completely fair, the marvel tenants outside of footscray have been run by idiots from top to bottom since 2010 onwards.

Only really applies to North, Saints & the Dogs looking at the 2025 fixture. Carlton & Essendon still play more games at the MCG than those other three teams.

Wow even Essendon play more games at the G.

But that would include their away games at the G right?

Occam's razor.

 

[Saucery]

I see the Carlton Pres has fallen on the sword after offending someone on a SM post which he claims was hacked and put up by someone else.

Two things . Firstly he sounds like a bit of a dill but besides that the world is now officially nuts with all the crap that gets regurgitated every day over next to nothing.

Secondly the Blues are always perfecting new ways to self implode.

Is that a euphemism?

 

[Perrip]

Even just counting their home games at the 'G next year, it's higher than interstate clubs. Carlton: 6 & Essendon: 4

Yep. To be honest, Vic clubs wanting more games at the G is good for us, and all non-Victorian clubs. We can bitch and moan all we want about "Vic bias" (and I love doing this as much as the next person!), and how the big Victorian clubs always get their way.

But, they have to play someone there at the MCG...

 

[dlanod]

Is that a euphemism?

Is that a dagger I see before me?

Don’t disagree but it’s not like the dees have been run well either. Even Collingwood was run so badly they had to fire sale to be salary cap compliant.

Think the article covers the issue well - less home ground advantage at Marvel, and the small marvel clubs are almost always the ones who have to play the cats at SportsRorts Stadium.

i think the issue is more that of being a smaller club (essendon and carlton arent small clubs but have completely imploded off field multiple times in the last 10 years).

removing marvel / mcg tenants and having each melbourne club get a split at each ground would probably be 'fairest'. unfortunately commercial arrangements beat out equity considerations 99% of the time in the AFL - see the marvel tenants being forced to host home finals at the mcg against mcg tenants.

Dr Henry Pinskier surfaced in the news today in regards to anti semitism. I thought I remembered the name. I googled on a totally different note he had a crack at the Lions board in 2013. Heading a Board Coup attempt. Somehow got all Members emails and communicated.We were a basket case then. Vossy sacked and the Board in turmoil. Lethal saying we were broke and the AFL were making our decisions. We came a long way in the last decade through good management by Swannie and a refreshed Board so their could be hope for those Marvel tenants .

He also hopped on here and exhorted us all to support his push. Weird times.

They do so incredibly well at constantly updating their list. Shocking how good they are at it

We’ve done very well in building a list, and been incredibly fortunate with f/s coming in the update the list with sufficient time for handover.
The big one to see if we can keep the recruiting success going will play out at the end of the year in the hunt for Joe’s replacement.

I suspect Rowell's had long enough now to sample the grass at the different grounds and Kardinia Park is the most to his taste
