It's sounds nice but what does it actually mean. So people have paid money to become members.. Where our advantage in all this?

Revenue?

 

[legendstatus]

I hope one day to reach "dribble" status.

You just did my friend.

You just did my friend.

Thanks!

Revenue?

Like I said where's our advantage?

 

[THATSGOLD]

Give me flags not members.

 

[Lord Wilberforce]

Give me flags not members.

You need both.

 

[PiesFan33]

Give me flags not members.

Why are you here then?

About 16 million in revenue from members last year! I just want the team to perform well and see what happens.

TG - in terms you can understand.

It give us heaps of revenue, which in turn gives us the luxury (hypothetically) to sack and pay out a coach and throw bundles of cash to get another (potentially better) coach or entice another (potentially better) coach to come out of retirement. Things like that. Oh, and the WestPac Centre, and our own training field... etc etc

 

[jmac70]

Like I said where's our advantage?

Membership equals revenue.
Revenue equals better facilities.
Better facilities equals better players.
Better players equals a higher chance of on-field success.

Post your question on the Western Bulldogs board if you don't believe me.

Not sure about this jmac. The equalisation system including the draft blunts this a lot. Easier to say it works like that in a "free market" competition where there is no draft and you can just buy players. If not, we'd have the best team every year, and we simply don't.

It's an interesting point. I would say having better facilities makes a club more desirable as a destination and provides greater chance for development. The AFL's equalisation system does certainly reduce the advantage though.

Like Clark not wanting to come to Collingwood desirable? Or any other big name in the past 3 years?

Exactly. No club as pulled away from another because they have more members in terms of on field success it means nothing.

Q: Would you prefer 25,000 members or 80,000?

You won't rest until you turn every thread into a negative. Your evil plan must be stopped!

You're right on not landing a big fish but the club has keep trying to better itself , never give up.

Varcoe said that he came to Collingwood because he wanted to play in front of big crowds. He chose us over Geelong.

Like I said where's our advantage?

The advantage is that CFC Pay there mates to be assistant coaches we only have 20 assistants at collingwood eating members money
Mates looking out for mates
