Disgraceful EFC - Extending pokies license to 2042

Melton is actually doing OK in terms of Council providing infrastructure

New libraries, new pools, new sport grounds and a hospital coming sometime

Better than us poor valley people are doing

The good news is this thread has roughly another 30 years of debate left in it.

Anti Pokie ad on Gruen tonight was pretty good.

One of the groups against them should buy it & run it.

Hopefully EFC will divest the pokies based businesses soon. In that context the extension of the license makes good sense in business terms. But morally it’s a bit stinky. If we hold on to these businesses raking in poky money until 2042, sack the board.

Win a flag and the $$$$ will come rolling in to cut ourselves off from poker machines.

If you reached into your pockets the EFC could get out of the misery business tomorrow.

It doesn’t matter how much someone makes, they’ll always want more.

spending caps do curb that somewhat

but it’s more to get ourselves “financially secure/independent” by building a deep nest egg

Being rich in the last 20 years has got us zero flags. Maybe we should try being poor for a while and see how that goes

Hasn’t worked for North Melbourne, St Kilda, Carlton or Melbourne.

Sounds like it’s due for a win then!

probably worse

money doesn’t guarantee a flag, but it can help more than hinder

Bulldogs won the allotted pauper premiership. Normal proceedings have resumed.

When is the allotted former ‘drug cheat’ rich team that everybody hates year?
