Geelong's $60,000 loss

[Malibu]

It was a little disappointing to see Geelong had a $60,000 loss yesterday due to small crowds. I guess I can sympathise due to them being in financial trouble like ourselves. I hope they can turn it around.

But what did give me a giggle, was the following from Denis

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pagan was also upset at the structure of the Kangaroos' dressing rooms at Shell Stadium. He described the antiquated rooms as ``hillbilly style'' after the Kangaroos seconds had to change in the same rooms as the firsts.

Yeah, I hope the Cats can get some bumper crowds at their remaining home matches at Kardinia Park and Colonial so that they make up the loss.

 

[Vansrooboys]

Gawd...and everyone says ours are bad.
I'm sure the little boys have seen the big boys.......

And there is more .... Geelong Chief Executive Brian Cook revealed afterwards the club, which is already 2.5 million in debt, was staring at a substantial loss on yesterdays game


The Cats are already struggling to make a profit this year, following the collapse of one of their sponsors retails chain Harris
Scarfe.

Thats actually the AFLs fault .Remember a few years ago they had a few halftime scuffles as teams walked off the ground side by side,so they bought in a rule about the changerooms being away from each other.Thats why at the MCG when Richmond play Melbourne they don't both use their traditional rooms.

Jub Jub,

I think what Hotham is getting at is that whilst the cats appear to be in financial trouble nothing much is reported about it whilst our 1 bad year off-the field was brought out into the open for the whole football world to see.

At least, i think that's what he's trying to say i hope

I'm sure hotham will give us a response soon

If thats what Hotham means he's very wrong.Before the Rd2 StKilda game Brian Cook mentioned about our financial problems.That interview was followed up by stories in the AGE,HUN,ADDY,MMM & 3AW all talking about our financial problems.

Maybe it was mentioned a few times, but until every story mentioning Geelong (including match reports both on TV and in the newspapers) has Geelong named as the "Finanially Struggling Cats" then you have got off lightly compared to the clamour over the Roos money situation.

USC even thinks we have officially changed our name from North Melbourne to the "The Cash Strapped Kangaroos"

Funny you should say this Damir, as Doc and I polished off the last of the pringles, donuts and green fizz on our 3+ hour tour of Geelong & surrounds we both remarked that it would have been a smart person who set up their bbq on the road side on Sunday night.

 

[Damir Dokic]

How menny time Damir hev to tell you!

DAMIR IS VERI SMART MAN!

 

[DOC]

I would have prefered a sosso on bread than the car picnic anyday. At least the BBQ may have given off some heat. For some reason the car was not.

Go the Skull!!!

The Ford Falconf!cken has to be accelerating in order to pump heat.

I don't think we were accelerating until we hit Werribee.

If it had of warmed up sooner my clothes would have dried out & I wouldn't have been sitting there in my undies.

 

[Damir Dokic]

Mi brudda Slobodan (Bobo) is hev red Ford Falconf!cken. Sometimes him is brek down ven ve drive from Shillong to Sant Albans becos overhit too hot f!cken. Mi cossin Branko get sossich from in car and ve mek BBQ on car.
DAMIR IS VERI SMART MAN!
