    Luke Sayers - PWC Scandal

    How can Luke Sayers remain as President of Carlton in light of what has been alleged and revealed in this tax scandal at PWC and other businesses involved? Surely it’s untenable. Pressure must be mounting on him to step aside at this point?

    Essendon & Western Unite(d)

    Essendon welcome Western United as a tenant at the NEC Hangar in a partnership to enhance the facility as a leading sporting and leisure hub in the north west of Melbourne. Western United to use the facilities community oval and parts of its offices etc. This is a plank in EFC strategy to...

    Official Club Stuff 2022 Club Membership

    My understanding is that many club membership auto renewals tick over later this month, if not already. With the hope that stadiums will be nearly full in 2022, the promise of getting back to the footy should see membership increase. Many clubs would be projecting good growth next year...

    General Bombers Talk AFL agrees to fixture more games at the MCG – Will our home games be moved?

    I noticed some interesting news as part of AFL GF announcement yesterday. MCG getting more home and away games. Are Essendon puttingtheir hand up for a share of these extra games (home)? If not, then why not?

    Melbourne FC $1.8M Hole - Woe Is Me

    One thing that’s intrigued me is how Melbourne FC have handled their predicament of losing $1.8M across two of their most important games, including the Big Freeze at the G. I’ve read in newspapers & radio their CEO, Gary Pert lamenting their misfortune & how it will eliminate their entire...

    Universal Love Vale Andrew Peacock

    Somewhat disappointing that Essendon FC have to this point not recognised the passing of its longtime big supporter, Andrew Peacock. I understand he was possibly even a #1 ticket holder during the 1980’s90’s? Putting politics aside, he was an influential public figure and huge Essendon person...

    Sponsorship & Commercial Partners

    Essendon have announced Liberty Financial as a new naming rights sponsor on their guernsey (back of jumper - top). A quick look across the competition reveals many clubs using this space as an additional ‘asset’ space for one of their current major naming rights sponsors. Liberty Financial is...

    Club Mgmt. 2020 AGM & Member Forum - Replays now available

    When is it? I’m looking forward to members having an opportunity to ask questions of the Club around the issues of 2020 and how the club will ensure it addressed them. Interestingly, Carlton’s membership has hit 59,000. I believe ours is only ~39,000! This time last year it was 50,000. Tough...

    Membership Numbers Rort 2021

    I’ve just found out that a mate of mine purchased two X 3 game Carlton memberships and for each membership, received a free membership! Carlton fans, have I got this right? If Carltons membership stands currently at just over 50,000, I reckon there’s possibly 10,000 of this total given away as...

    Essendon’s AFL Profile Discussion

    I’ve been thinking for quite some time that Essendon’s voice in the AFL community has diminished. It has become a somewhat irrelevant club in a competitive national competition. Take the lockdown period as the latest case in point. I read about Collingwood’s training preparations and see photos...

    Silent Leadership (communication)

    One of my concerns in recent times has been a lack of communication coming out of Essendon. By this I specifically mean a lack of communication from the Essendon leadership team: The President and / or CEO. I can’t remember the last time we heard from Lindsay Tanner. Xavier in particular has...

    Opinion Crossroads

    A club drifting. Here are my thoughts: 1. Player Development. Parish (not improving as hoped / looks disillusioned), Francis (backwards / insufficient work rate), Langford (disillusioned / lacks workrate), Laverde (injury), Tippa (struggles when pressures on), Stewart, Clarke (kicking weakness)...

    Opinion Back to the MCG

    What a terrific day it was yesterday. Back at the G playing in front of great crowds against interstate opposition. Over 48,000 turned up and created a great atmosphere that reminded me of that great period in the late 1990’s when Essendon drew the biggest crowds in the competition playing out...

    Marquee Matches - Pride Match Fail

    What has St Kilda and the league done to promote the Pride game tonight? Clearly St Kilda are in a malaise both on and off field. Won’t help this clubs chances of being trusted to create or grow marquee fixtures. Really disappointing.

    2018 Club Membership (2018 AFL Audit numbers now in OP]

    Rumour Big Bomber Donor

    So is it true that at a club private function very recently a club supporter agreed to the extraordinary donation of $3M to the clubs next expansion phase at Tulla? A mighty effort indeed. I wonder how much in total was raised on the night?
