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 .

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
