Nice deflection.
Basic point is that this is a divisive message which unnecessarily spruiks one political side over the other.
Gay marriage is a civil rights issue.
The Coalition winning the election is not.
What's to say the the ALP wouldn't have got a mention had they not made the same, or a superior offer?
If getting the $15m to our club requires a public thank you to the donating party, then so be it.

Yeah, what if the State Labor government had committed 20m to the project.
I'd definitely get a special email then
Considering the general political leanings of posters on this site it isn't surprising the outrage over a pretty bland press release about some government funding.
If you want to get offended go complain about the avalanche of rubbish from Clive Palmer. The guys spending how many millions to buy some seats in parliament...

It’s not bland. The club is getting money from governments from opposing sides, but named them differently. It should have named them as Federal Government and Victorian State Government, and not as the Liberal National Government and Daniel Andrews Government that it did.

It should also be noted that the Lib/Nats are directly thanked. Unlike Labor.

I bet the front-line people who work for the club, and probably don’t even know the President, can hardly wait for you ranting call. Seriously. Think before you act. Bloody *** politics.

Is it worth noting that the federal libs are likely losers in several short months so they may have well proposed $150m? it won’t matter but why would our pres find it necessary to make this overtly political. I just think it’s poor judgement.
This.
99.5% of supporters won't care. I'd say most will skim read over that part and get to how much been pledged and how it's going to be used.

I've read that email a few times and I'm still not getting the angst.

In regards to the re-development does anyone know what is happening to the Gardiner Stand.
Would love to see it restored to former glory. See how charming it is at ground like the Nth Sydney oval where they've maintained the old stands and picket fences.

I think the Pratt Stand is the one to make way

It's my dream that one day a billionaire will buy the club and fund a complete redevelopment of Princes Park, ideally expanding capacity to 50-80k and keeping/ restoring the Gardiner Stand underneath it.
Then we would play most of our games there to a sold out navy blue crowd. I know it happens in Europe so why not here. Let me be naive.

We have a son of a billionaire on the board, Matthison.
The only contribution to the club he's done is free pokie/gaming licenses for our pubs.
Hoping he kicks in a few mil for this redev, Jeanne Pratt too. A 50m upgrade would be much better than 35-40m.

Let's assume LoG isn't pushing a party political line. If so then we've got one hell of a dumbass as President.
We are in the throws of a pre-election period that is going to be as dirty as it gets, yet he can't word his email in a balanced manner?
You don't think the praise heaped on the Federal Coalition below for the $15m somewhat overshadows that afforded to State Labor for the $20m?
One reads as a gushing endorsement, the other an afterthought.
"We are thrilled by the support received from the Liberal Nationals Government and we sincerely thank the Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Liberal Nationals Government, for their commitment of $15M. This investment, in addition to the $20M provided by the Daniel Andrews State government, will consolidate Ikon Park as the home of women’s football and the long-term base of the Carlton Football Club."
I'm sure he'll be in the will either way.Nephew
Rant?
To call and say that his press release was really poorly worded, and reflects poorly on the club?
How is that a rant?
