Skills said:Had a great time on Friday Night;
Most of the players were very approachable and many appeared very relaxed - After all, they did holiday in Cairns for about 10 days.
I thought the most pivotal speach for the night, came from Terry Wallace. TW stated six (6) things "he saw" at the Richmond FC in his first 12 months - All his points were very convincing and he was also using this opportunity to drive home strong messages for 2006.
Loved it when Cogs was accepting his 5th place B&F and made reference to Shane Tuck and "all the things we have spoken about since the season finished".
I managed to successfully bid a Richmond jumper and later reminded this player to make it worth twice as much next year. He looked at me and said, "lets make it worth three times more!"
TigerGoneNorth said:I haven't seen more than a third of the games this year but from that and the comments on PRE I'm surprised that Simmo finished as high as he did.
Any one else feel that or is it a fair reflection of his year?
TGN, Simmo was a certainty for out top 10 (IMO). He has had a good year and was very consistent. Unfortunately he is a maligned player amongst supporters who feel he can do a lot more.
I am really happy with his output especially compared to the former wearer of the number 5.
He is a valuable addtition to our team, given his willingness to play out of position at CHF.

For me, I dont care much, because I know the club is progressing well and improving its place.
If it was still in dire straits then I would be disturbed by this.
Is $5 Mil trueCan someone please confirm. I thought the cumulative debt was $2.8 hence the overdraft. I have never heard about the $5 mil.
Re: CC didn't he come out and say he wanted to retire at the end of the year? Looks like he is over being pressy.

Stuff in (brackets) means loss. If I have this right (flatmate an accountant and where's he? at work;D ), the key to this is that the non-current assets are meaningless. For example, since we don't own them we could not sell the ground and buildings to raise funds to pay off creditors in the event of the club going bust. There is a proper term for it, but anyway, subtract current assets from current liabilities to get an idea of the hole we're in. Think Cutterst is right in saying we couldn't service our debts without being beholden to the AFL who guarantee the ANZ bank overdraft.
Every time our accounts come out I trawl through all this and become an accounting guru for a few weeks and then spend the rest of the year forgetting it. Time to blow out the cobwebs.
Cutterst said:Heather, in accounting terms current asset less current liabilities gives you your 'working capital" ie the surplus to operate with to pay day to day accounts. You can't sell or cash plant & equipment (Fixed Assets) etc to pay wages!
In our case the reverse applies - we have current liabilities of about $7 M less current assets of $2 M- a deficit of about $5 M. The immediate problem is the $3.3 M overdraft which cost us $300,000 Pa in interest and the AFL guarantee which gives them a say iin preparing our annual business plan.
There could well be a big turn around this year compared to last year BUT we need about 3 years of excellent returns to get back to the stage where we have a healthy (positive) working capital.
Watch 2005 accounts and look for the the movements in CA's and CL's.
