Of course, the whack over the tanking is in there as well, but seems dumb from the Scorps.

 

[Praetorian]

wouldn't mind a stand alone team eventually, but I'm not sure we can afford that yet. pretty stupid stuff from Casey, I don't want to be propping them up as well.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Oh the lulz.

One day something will go right.

 

[blured]

they should invest in corruption

 

[tasmanlvr]

Maybe a name change will stop them from choking in finals.

Pretty silly stuff from Casey, not sure if it's beneficial for Melbourne fielding a stand alone team yet. Wish 2012 would G&GF already...

 

[Demon JP]

will be interesting to see how this one pans out, not a great year for us..

 

[Viney]

Please get all this shit out of the way so we may concentrate on enjoying pre season and 2013 season

I think having our own team is very important for the clubs development, both on and off field.

Whilst Casey seems doomed, the poker machines are of great interest. If everything (building permits ect) are set up to go i wouldnt mind the club making a bricks and morter investment in the area provided the Casey liability can be made go away.

Stuffed Scorpions? Yeah tried them once in Nepal. Taste great with sweet and sour sauce...

 

[Devastating Boris]

400k for a stand alone. I smell another fundraiser

My reading is they've already sold the licenses

 

[Marlowe]

Oy! Nothing this year has gone right, yet somehow, even after the season has ended, shit still finds a way to get worse.

 

[CTHORANGE]

We should start having bets on the next thing that will go wrong, I reckon the odds on our affiliate going bust would've been pretty tastey... this news seems to have just come from nowhere

 

[Captain Jack]

Wow. I guess it was inevitable that Casey be dragged into the black hole that has been our 2012 year... they've done well to avoid it for this long.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Oh the lulz.

Oh the day!!

Oh & 12k posts.

 

[d33my]

Geez, the off-season must be boring for supporters of those successful, got-it-together clubs.

 

[LBJ6]

Good news for mine. The idea of a "Casey Demons" side, wearing the red and blue, being in full control of the club sounds good to me.

 

[CrowdedHouse]

Seriously didn't know Casey we're in that bad-a-shape financially.

Mind you (and yes, here's a whack for Melbourne - sorry!) it doesn't help grow a supporter base when the Demons pull their players out during the VFL Finals. Ever since the alignment, Casey have never won a final!

^This.

Would love for us to have our own team in the VFL. Whether we could afford it is another question.

HUH? The majority of Demons listed VFL regulars played in the Scorpions finals - they were in the 2's for a reason though

 

[mrpez]

Anyone have an idea how much we are currently paying for the alligned arrangement?

 

[Supermercado]

If they go under and we can't afford it are Frankston keen on shacking up with us and winning more than one game a season?

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

How might this effect our 30 year agreement with the city and the club?

 

[Big Jablonski]

There is no way that frankston would shack up with any AFL side. They may only win a few games but you must remember that they spend 150k on player payments competing against 9.5 mill plus another 350k.
Their job is to get players drafted and i would suggest that with 5 going to draft camp and 2 individual trials outside of that they have done a wonderful job. Second highest amount of drafted players in the VFL.
Cale Morton was paid 400k to play in the vfl and Kyle Martin who had the most kicks in the whole competition was paid $200.00 a game. He was offered up to your recruiting guys and was knocked back and two years later will go in this years draft.
Very sad for Casey but make no mistake, Melbourne FC run the on ground day game structure down there and have done so for many years. why do you think that the coaches only last one year? Its like running a kindergarten.

 

[The Goon]

Great news for the Dees if true.

Our board has been lusting after a stand alone VFL reserves team ever since I joined BF - particularly to aid in development. If you get one earlier than you planned ignore the expense, it will be great for you guys and the essence of progress is versatility.
