MCC Committee Election - who supports The Dees?

Featured Replies

Of the six candidates for the two vacancies, only one, Michael Andrew, declares his support for us in his personal statement. Can we assume Matthew Fowles, brother (?) of former committeeman and Dees supporter Will Fowles , is another? Before we vote, can we be enlightened about the allegiances of Kim Brewer, Peter King, John Mugavin and Christopher Stoltz?

Good point. Time to ask the club for those details.

Confirming Matt Fowles is a good Dees supporter like his brother Will and the rest of the family.

 

Peter King, MCC first XI cricketer for many years, loyal demon.

Michael Andrews strong dee supporter.


Even if he does get elected, Matt won't be getting a Stephen Bradbury-like elevation as per his brother, as he is facing a field of contenders, unlike his brother did when he stood.

Surely the question is what skills & expertise they bring to the table.

Obviously these aspirants want Melbourne heading skywards - or why bother. No dough involved.

Roos & Jackson were not Demon supporters, whilst Judd & Pendelbury were in strong Demon families..

Our club needs performers not love.

And we need allies on the MCC. So their alliegances are relevant. Not everyone on that committee is well disposed to propping up a struggling football division.

This year I might even vote and anyone who has Demon on their CV gets my support.

I intend to vote also, although too often the vote is a farce and the Committeemen tend to arrive on the Committee mid turn, filling a casual vacancy.

Our support amongst MCC members has dropped to about 20% so don't assume all Committee aspirants wish us well . As a 47 year member i know of more than a few members who resent the extra practical assistance we get over other MCG home tenants .

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
