Melbourne 2005: $1m profit

But this isn't about Melbourne...as much as you hawthorn supporters want it to be.

Melbourne 2005: $1m profit

Now take out the $1.5m handout for paupers.

 

[crazy_big_al]

there are reason for it guys

we pay $500,000 more than the other team to the bloody AFL

 

[RedLegs#5]

Now take out the $1.5m handout for paupers.

That's not reality. Sorry jubby.

 

[Crow-mosone]

That's not reality. Sorry jubby.

yes it is. unless you count welfare payments as part of your ordinary operating activities?

 

[Frankston Rover]

That's not reality. Sorry jubby.

Ahh, yes it is.

Can't you accept the facts Redlegs?

And the fact is you receive money from the AFL.

The Power are still paying off their licence.

Melbourne has no members. No members = no money.

That's not reality. Sorry jubby.

i am afraid it is, melbourne operating loss for the year $500,000

 

[Hollow Knight]

That's not reality. Sorry jubby.

Wrong, however including AFL handouts in your profit forecasts is certainly denying reality.

The amount of times I see Dees fans saying to Hawthorn supporters "Clean my shoes feral!" and rubbishing their lower class roots ... yet its your club who are the dole bludgers at the AFL feeding trough.

Yes, we did make a loss this year but we went into the year knowing we would be recieving handouts so we went about our business knowing we could afford to make a loss. Without the handouts, im sure we would have tryed much harder to breakeven.

And the no members = no money comment is bs. We had a record membership figure this year and considering the highest majority of mcc members are MFC supporters, we have plenty more.

Dees fans are idiots, so it's not surprising really. They think their club is so good, and yet it is a legacy case.

Irresponsible.

this is a crazy comment
surely every club must try their hardest to make each and every post a winner especially when it comes to finances
the above is like saying they had opportunities to make money but didn't bother coz of the handout
any business or club official so negligent would not only be sacked but also possibly be in the courts for professional incompetence negligence and failure to discharge his duty

 

[JUBJUB]

Na,na,na,na ..... I was right

Yeah record membership of 24,000. The third lowest of the AFL.

And the teams below you? Western Bulldogs and the Kangaroos.

At least these clubs admit they are struggling.

So stop deluding yourself, if more Melbourne supporters became members, you wouldn't have to put your hand out.

Melbourne has the champagne taste on a beer budget.




Melbourne - Where winning isn't everything

 

[paul scholes]

has the world gone mad!! melbourne fans gloating over another clubs loss!!!!!!!! pleassse

 

[Ripper]

Illustrates how the CBF is pulling the Comp down.

If Port had recieved their $312k dividend instead of it going into the CBF, they would have made a minimal loss on paper and actually been cash flow positive taking into account their depreciation.

Hey dude, teh 1.5 mill was payment for the last 3, repeat 3, seasons. So .5 a season - still has us at .5 mil profit.

Dude you're from Frankston - who the hell are you to question finances or common sense?

As a bulldog supporter thats a funny thing to say. AFL and government assistance already, whats next?

 

[scotty13]

Actually the licence fee is more like $576,000 not the 220 u stated.

none of which are unique to this year.
you have had these charges every year since 1997.

so why is it an excuse this year?
