Whether you take the money or not is dependent upon what is requested. In this instance, if Jackos info was correct then I would think taking the $2 million would have been worth it.

That's where we disagree. No disresepct Flagman but you seem to be looking a one small piece of the request and not the entire request. You are seeing the money and not the collateral that would come with the money... I consider the collateral to not be worth $2 mil

The way I see it is that a donation is monetary gift given to yo with no strings attatched . Therefore you are not obliged to provide a favour or favours for it. Nor are we obliged to do something a certain way or another way so that the ends justify the means.
Many of us have mortgages, we wouldn't accept them being paid off for us if it meant our domestic life at home would be run by an external person or peoples merely because they are lifting a burden off our shoulders. That's not what a donation or gift is. You wouldn't give money to the Royal Children's Hospital Appeal and then say to the Hospital that they can only deal with patients in this way or that way when the paediatricians know best.......

I say kudos to the club for standing their ground. This to me shows that the club has a plan and whether it be right or wrong and at this point in time lets be honest we don't have the answers but they have their plans and they will stick to it and not allow anybody or anything to compromise their principles.

Is there more to the requests made than what we already know?

Ppl have supported this club for years through thick and thin and then they do something like that to show just what they think of their loyalty
They can stick their ethics right up their you know what
Laughable what WP just said about Carlton dancing with the devil
Richmond would tango with Osama if it meant it could rip off supporters and make more money

FNM I agree with you about the GF Guarantee debacle. What they did to people with that was terrible. But it is one of the problems when you have a change in all areas of management. Decisions get made to implement changes in alot of areas eg membership & coterie that may impact unfairly on members. I think the way the did it was what was the most disppointing and I think the Club has suffered for it

But from where I sit this alledged "bribe" for want of a better word is a different beast IMHO as I don't view as ripping off supporters. This is about being a good corporate citizen in the business world

And I reckon a few years ago you may have been right about the club "dancing with Osama" but things are different now as I don't believe Beeny Gale does business that way and that IMHO is bloody good thing
Just sick of them WP.
You know, if they had actually produced something in the last 30 years worth shoving it in your face you might say, hey, bad luck FNM
But they've been abysmal in nearly every aspect and you'd think they'd be going that little bit extra to hold on to those that have stuck with them instead of doing that.
I'll be watching our next GF on Foxtel  :thumbsup
