Probably not but the publicity you would get for the day or so that the billboard would be up would be be priceless. :wink:


I'd be throwing some cash at hiring those two mercenary f*ckbags Judas Hamill and Cancereale to publicly humiliate themselves.

Then I'd have a hit taken out on 'em and pinch my money back.

I like the way your're thinking Deano.

But take it a step further - you a me join up one of the North Melbourne Coterie Groups - then splash a little cash (in brown paper bags) to the Senior Playing Group in the CarPark (all filmed of course) and send a copy of the tape to all the major media outlets and Ken Wood, then watch the AFL and "The Spew" fine the Kangaroos out of existence. :twisted:

Guys, guys, the best thing you could do to hurt 'The Spew' would be to do something to damage the strength of the AFL, not necessarily one of the clubs (although I do see the irony in having the fat turd fine his old club :twisted: :twisted: ).

If you were mega rich you could do a Kerry Packer and start your own 'super-league'. If the clubs started to split from the league then they would make the spew irrelevant and put him down in history as the guy in charge when the current league dissolved!!!

If that was too big, how about running your own 'Challenge Cup' competition. Kind of like the NAB Cup but a private venture with massive $$$ on offer to the winners. Clubs could be invited to join but no group deal with the AFL. Some clubs somewhere would join up and imagine seeing some amateur club walk away with $15m in prizemoney etc. The next year all of the AFL clubs would be rushing away from any collective AFL agreement to sign up for the comp. It would be awesome to see the turmoil it created as clubs fought with the AFL to either remain united and face the threat, or be the 1st club to break away and take the $$$. I dont mean a competition to challenge the AFL, just an alternative NAB cup kind of thing.

The AFL would want to sanction, approve and collectively bargain with you as the competition sponsor or provider. You say:

"get stuffed, if the clubs want to enter into my comp they can deal directly with me".

Clubs could still be part of the AFL but be forced to make an individual deal with you for the one pre-season competition. Eventually they go back to the AFL. Imagine the divisiveness and bickering that the Spew would have to contend with amongst the clubs!! The fallout would be better than the games!!! he'd be trying to keep them together to face the threat united, they'd all be out individually for the money!! Spew would be tap dancing faster than Gene Kelly trying to stop the whole lot imploding!!

I'd give them half and then request a meeting with Collo and Malouf to sit down and talk about where the money will go and what it will be spent on.

If they declined the meeting, I'd withdraw the offer.

I'd rather give some to family and keep the rest for my own long term security. A $10,000 donation is about all I would give up at the most.

buy them a gym that i could use myself, two birds with one stone and i'd hate to think that the several hundred thousand that i would otherwise give, would simply pay the bills of Callum Chambers and Justin Davies while they frigg around in the VFL for another year.

I thought you would have paid to have Justin Davies framed. :wink:

Not at all, Dave.

If you gave them 3.5 million, wouldn't you want a clear understanding of where it was going?

I wouldn't be giving them $3.5M cos that's not the way the Club should be operating. :wink:

Don't know how much I'd part with, Family and friends would come first. But if it was a decent amount I would want my avatar on our jumpers as the deal clincher :-D

Hookers and strippers here I come...

Funny this thread should come up, I was thinking about this a few weeks back, what I would do with the money, only because a mate of mine won 1.9Mill about a month ago in the 19Mill tatts draw.. funny thing is, he is more miserable now than before... go figure...
