What sort of intelligent things should be yelled out at the footy, dan?

“Go number (insert player number here)”

"Good work old chaps! Keep playing with that Demon Spirit"

Danster crashing out over Roo chants is great. Fan better dickheads.

 

[Headless]

I have always said there is too much atmosphere at Melbourne games, crowd needs to be less engaged.

Now we're sitting on toadstools with the same group of fairies!

Give me a completely silent DEMON DASH and I'll be happy.

Now I'm imagining dan yelling out his most devilishly intelligent takes at the footy

 

[jhong]

Takes me back to my youth when the members in the stand politely clapped and the rat bags on the other side of the ground yelled obscenely at them . Bugger the players huh .

Teaching the players some footy IQ.

Come on Mr Langford, the average MCG grass blade length is around 4cm long, factoring in the wind that is effected by the nature of the buildings, with orientation of the sun at it's present point of earth's rotation around it. The placement of your feet on the ground correctly should allow you the ability to use an opposite hand, handball. By my calculations the trajectory of your handball should have hit your opponent directly by an improvement of 3cm as opposed to using your preferred hand as you so lazily did. Beware the ides of march Mr Langford as if you do not improve in this capacity it will lead to your downfall and a complete inefficient use of a draft pick. I would say good luck team for next time but clearly this is a low effort to boost moral and our supporter base should really be using their higher educated status more often when observing our players execute the act of their foot making contact with the oval ball. Please you phrases like "to the betterment of the Melbourne Football team" in future, but don't yell it to loudly as this is quite unbecoming social conduct

What sort of intelligent things should be yelled out at the footy, dan?

just barrack and support. No need to yell out dumb, bogan stuff that makes 0 sense. Like 'roooo'. If anything it sounds like a pay out because we're yelling out Nick Riewoldt's nickname, a guy who was on of the best marks in history.

Whenever I hear 'rooooo' I slouch down in my chair a bit. it's just cringe.

Are we going to call Harry Sharp 'robbo' from now on? Harry Sharp's initials are H.S. H.S stands for Herald Sun. Mark Robinson used to work for the Herald Sun. Robinson's nickname was Robbo. That's how simple, loose and unintelligent some of the nicknames are like 'Roo'.

And I think players need to reach a certain level before being given a nickname. like 'jibber' for Jack billings and Jeffo for Matt Jefferson, for real? Become an afl calibre player first before earning a respectful nickname.

So no one is allowed a nickname unless they’ve reached an acceptable tier in pro sports?

Bit sad tbh. Means 99.5% of the population will never have a nickname

You're right! Next time I see Harry Sharp I'm gonna call him Robbo!

2025 Financial Result

Following a year of significant change, Melbourne Football Club has announced an operating loss of $200,000 for the 2025 financial year.

By this it sounds like we've paid out Oliver in full in one lump sum?

Sounds like we may have. I think Goodwin was owed 1.2 million. I’m not sure we could afford to put all Oliver in the cap in one year. So maybe that comes out separately in terms in cap space for a few years? Even though we maybe paid him out?

Blimey. I hope he or a manager or family member invested it or something.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Don't think so, think we have provided for the full amount this year and still need to make regular payments to reduce the size of the provision / liability over the remainder of the contract.

Assume that means we take a large hit this year and the payments from come outside the cap in future years, or some similar advantage.

That's exactly what the article said: "...and future payments to be made to Clayton Oliver".

 

[markm106]

I think we owed Goodwin 1.2 million and Oliver up to 3 million. Assume with Oliver we’d absorb as much as possible in the cap over next few years. But maybe we could actually pay him in advance?

I'd imagine we can pay him in advance but we still lose that money out of the cap each year. Club probably figures as it is a fixed amount they'd rather just get it out of the way.
