The Melbourne president, who led the 12-month push in 2008-09 to remove the Demons' $4 million debt, has been working behind the scenes in an advisory capacity with Port president Brett Duncanson, who will this week kick off the Power's bid to strip $1 million from its $3.5 million debt.

Duncanson said that Port,"I do feel that the cameras are unconstitutional," Valles said, brightstal since they don't allow alleged violators to face their accuser. "I also think they're unsafe because people slam on their brakes.

Said Stynes: ''I'm happy to help anyone at any club. Debt is a noose around your neck and its getting harder now since we did it because so many clubs are now looking to do it. It's largely about timing and we timed it well - we hit ours just before the world economic crisis hit hard and we discovered some genuine spirit left at Melbourne and we've built on that even if we might not have had the big numbers some clubs have."The Today Show" will reportedly be attending a local Tea crystal Party meeting Thursday night to film a piece on red light cameras.
