So we devote ourselves to becoming the Essendon Vices. I like it!
And theyâve been ahead of us in terms of performance on the field for the best part of the last 15 years. So your point is, what? Money is good, hooray for money?
Enough with your crazy ideas!
Iâm going to assume you were taking the â â â â with that post. Because if not it would be one of your worst posts ever. And Iâve seen your music in the DJ King thread!
No, the point is that if what you want is what you perceive to an untainted Premiership there is a club that could deliver you what you want. Itâs just not us.
Iâm with you @SMJ. These things destroy families in a devastating way. There are other ways we could make a quid without profiting on misery.
EFC branded brothels I tells ya!
Understand the point, but I donât think its unreasonable to expect my club, one of the richest clubs in the country, to also be a good corporate citizen.
Not for profit organisations (like EFC is apparently supposed to be) should conduct their operations in a way that doesnât cause harm to the community that they operate in. Weâre not doing that.
And in a time where other clubs, in the same competition, are rightly getting out of the pokies game, we, one of the richest clubs, are applying to extend our license so we will still be in the game for another twenty-four farking years.
You might think thatâs ok, and that alls fair in love and premiership hunting. I disagree
Yeah.
I donât feel great about it, but if EFC passed the licenses off, those machines wouldnât disappear. Someone else would buy them. Probably ALA/Woolworths.
Red n black EFC condoms?
Youâd rather be top of the town or the ladder
Mate, we wonât be running pokies for another 24 years. But when we bail out, our saleable assets will be worth a lot more because they hold those licenses.
As long as itâs closed on Anzac Day and in September- no pleasure is given on those days
Benzina will be upset if the sash goes droopy.
Why do people think their moral values are the ones to which the club should espire?
They are legal, I assume we follow the laws of the land in running them and guess what, if we sell them someone else will run them and there are plenty of people who enjoy using them that far outweigh those with issues. But yeah lets not renew the licence and have a distressed sale to Westfarmers or WooliesâŚ
Top of the Town is a nice little money spinner. They supply the girls that Crown clients ask for.
Cool. Why donât we start selling guns? Legal activity, right?
How do I explain this to my children? and how does one acquire children?
Is that a joke post or is that really a horrible thing what barnz said? I understand a lot of people deal with pokie addiction but not EVERY person is horribly addicted and a fair lot go just for some harmless fun.
I donât think itâs horrible, but I think to say that the solution to pokie addiction is that 'people should just stop putting money in them" is extraordinarily ignorant. Which is why I (rightly I think) assume he was joking
