List Mgmt. The OFFICIAL 2013 Trade/Free Agency Targets Thread

[Donkey Chop]

The club really has done an amazing job this off season. Sensational appointments.
Dead set stoked.

 

[Augustine]

That's a lot of money into our football dept. Hope we can afford it!

One thing about this admin is that they better than anyone have a better grasp of how quickly things can go **** up if the money ain't coming in. With Delina at the helm the beans will be counted correctly.

That said I think it a certainty that we will be playing at least 3 games in Hobart from the next deal.

hope we dont spend it all in one go... haha

 

[blackshadow]

That is a seriously impressive football department we have assembled

It certainly is and it's even more impressive when you factor in Steve Saunders and his team.

 

[Joey7]

I think there's gonna be a lot of football people blown away with our profit this year. That alone will show where back in business.

yep, big shock

 

[GarnerSmash]

Clue?

 

[Star]

I'll start the bidding. $2M

 

[GarnerSmash]

Regardless of the profit figure, the real goal is to get to $40Mil income. Thats just under a $10mil increase from last year. Hopefully this is something we can build towards in the next few years.

Most clubs that have a huge turnover get a lot of it from non-football related businesses like pubs which have a massive turnover but low profit margin.

We don't have any pubs or social club.
We don't have pokies.

It would be tough for us to get within a bull's roar of the turnover of clubs that do.

 

[Donkey Chop]

It's an exciting time to be a North Melbourne fan.

Everyone must be feeling it yeah?

Things are brewing.

 

[Deep We11s 1]

$1.1mil + another big announcement to come is my prediction

The majority of the bigger clubs are around and above the $50mil mark. I think closing the gap is important. How that is done in a sustainable manner is the challenge for the club.

I think Collingwood is $75m+

You need money to make money, or you need a lot of debt, some of the debt these clubs carry on pokies is horrific, if the government made pokies illegal most of the Victorian clubs would go under.

i'll wait till 2014 season starts. Win's matter but so far so good

 

[GarnerSmash]

Yeah. Geelong around $50m, Carlton $45+.

Strangely Richmond are only at the $40mil mark. I would have though that they would have a significantly stronger revenue pool from which to draw.

They almost flatlined and were run into the ground over a long period of time. I think if they step up they will have a very good revenue base which will allow them to invest, they have a massive supporter base.

 

[Rooboy 96]

Thank ****. Not keen on Vince at all.

I did not think it even warranted rolling the dice.

 

[Dan]

 

[Roobound]

Ok l want assurance from the club that once we get to one coach per player we will stop.

 

[boneofshin]

Means nothing. These things are always prepared months in advance.

 

[BlakeDebeljak]

Why do they have a north player on there :S

 

[Donkey Chop]

Wise.

The way I look at it with these coaches is, because they have a number of clubs chasing them they choose the club where they think they will see the most success. It's not just that they are good at what they do (which they no doubt are), they make good career choices.

I don't think they would have chosen to come to us unless they thought there was going to be success.

What, you don't think having senior assistant coaches for the assistant coaches to the senior coaches is a good idea?
