Saints pokies...20 more years

I can't stand the things, but another 20 years. Saints have the lowest amount and only generate 2 mil from them which sounds reasonable and ok to me...compared to Hawthorn the family club.

Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. NM had no trouble getting rid of them. Don't worry, most of you guys will be brown bread by 2042 and will miss the mass destruction.

Re: Saints pokies...20 more years
Might as well bleed those pension cheques into our cashflow instead of someone elses.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Re: Saints pokies...20 more years
Pokies gouging money from the poor has become too on the nose even for those HGH abusing moral bankrupts at Skunkland.
Says it all really.
Shame on you Saintas!!!

Re: Saints pokies...20 more years
I am not buying the spin from Collingwood they did that for the community. My guess that a venue or two were losing money so sold the licences for a pretty penny & give themselves some cash flow. Doubt we'll see them distancing themselves from on line betting.Dave McNamara wrote: ↑Thu 01 Nov 2018 11:24pm Pokies gouging money from the poor has become too on the nose even for those HGH abusing moral bankrupts at Skunkland.

I'd rather see proceeds from Pokies go into sporting / community clubs such as RSLs than the privately owned Zagames & Mathiesons.
I ultimately wish the pokies would go back to the border.

Re: Saints pokies...20 more years
We gross only $2 million.
How much of that do we pocket though? What do we net though???
And then, there's the other side of the financial ledger.
- The cost of those years in the outer Siberian wilderness, for starters.
- Interest paid on that $10 million debt. (Lets say conservatively 6% p.a. That's $600,000 p.a. Ouch! ) Selling those misery machines would go a bloody long way, maybe all the way, to writing off that albatross around the neck of our beloved club.
We do that, and I'd be joining you Ted in the lol'g.
And then, there's the social cost in terms of the damage those things do to people's lives. That'd be...fellow St Kilda supporting people's lives!

Re: Saints pokies...20 more years
So it's OK to generate a paltry $2M from people's misery but not OK to generate $24M?tedtheodorelogan2018 wrote: ↑Wed 31 Oct 2018 9:39am https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/fiv ... 50cl8.html

A bit hypocritical I think Teddysainter.
You are either in the game and rip as much as you can out of the low socioeconomic sectors of society or you don't. Personally I don't care either way, if they are not blowing the cash on pokies I doubt they will be investing it in the stock market, but how is Saints level acceptable but Hawthorn's not?
