At least there's some good news there. Not sure how much we were holding out for though.

@ Essendon Moderators: Are these stupid quotation rules still in effect? Coz I don't see it enforced on the Association Football board and usually not policed that stringently on the main board. One link + paragraph = all good?

I reckon we wanted more than $6m, probably even above $10m from the Feds.

Did you get a phone call from the EFC to purchase raffle tix at $200 a pop? Therein lies the crux of said raffle tix. I don't recall said raffle last year.

This pissy bowls club should have found a way to relocate somewhere local for the benifit of all.

I'm sure EFC at Windy Hill is more important to the local community than the bowls club (by about a million times).

I hope they go broke soon after we leave.
