Annual General Meeting

[Whispering_Jack 30,228]

There's been very little written or spoken about our forthcoming AGM which takes place on Wednesday 4th February, 2015 (starts 6:30pm) in the Members Dining Room, MCG.

Entry at Gate 2; bring your 2014 membership card.

[CBDees 3,167]

See you all there!

[Freddy Fuschia 742]

We've had eight down years. We can't afford to be apathetic - Demon fans need to turn up even if only to listen.

[old dee 23,797]

I have been for so long I cannot remember the last time I missed.

I will toddle along on Wednesday to see if there are any gems.

It has been a bit like going to games in recent years.

Here's hoping for something different this year.

This will be novel.

Going to the AGM with no one threatening to get up and make an arse of themselves.

It is a shame a few did not ask some tough questions four years ago PD.

It might have helped avoid some the crap of 2012/13.

We are 99.9% [censored] at the AGM over the last decade.

Totally agree. I remember those meetings. They were a total non event.

If we had have been allowed to speak our mind. I may not have nodded off.

Dissent was headed off at the start of the meeting and we were asked to concentrate on the future.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but each year got worse.

Lets hope 2015 is an improvement and not a repeat of those years.

I've never been but thinking of going. If I'm a member can I just turn up with my members card?

You will need your 2014 card but yes just front up.

There are worst ways to spend a couple of hours.

Time spent among the faithful is usually a pleasant experience.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,758]

You can't bring the new card? I think I may have thrown out the old one.

[old dee 23,797]

Ring the club.

I am confident that it is the AGM for the year 2014 so you need to be able to prove your were a member last year.

But as I said a call to the club will clarify it for you.

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,799]

I always feel embarrassed when they call for a rendition of "The Grand Old Flag".

I don't think it's necessary. It's a business meeting, not a supporters' rally.

I cannot remember it happening last year?

Anyway why not sing it (both verses) at the meeting.? It is a supporter's rally where we hear from our committee and football departments on their vision, not a BHP shareholder's meeting! To me the only embarrassment is only having six opportunities to sing it over the last two years (and most of us weren't in Adelaide)!

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,799]

Last year was the first time they didn't sing it for many years, and I was glad.

We're obviously all true blue Demons if we're at the meeting, we don't need to have to try to prove it!

I'm just saying that that's the way I feel....uncomfortable when the song is sung at the AGM.

Never been checked at all the AGM's I have attended, except for the merger meetings.

[dee-eee 231]

Will be there as usual , optimistic that the Cameron and Prendergast recruiting days are well behind us and glad to be rid of the Business School gobbledegook of C.S.

[Supreme_Demon 3,884]

I haven't been since they used to have them at the Camberwell Town Hall! If I'm not working I'll go along with one of my brothers.

To answer this one...

You need your 2014 card, but if you dont have it the people at the gate will have a listing of all 2014 members, which they'll use to check you off.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,758]

Yeah I spoke to someone at the club and they mentioned you can just have your name checked off at the door.

Does anyone know anywhere good to park?

[Redleg 40,950]

For those not going, I would expect all of the speeches to be on the MFC site, shortly after the AGM.

Will I catch up with you, Bub and DC tomorrow?

[old dee 23,797]

Good morning Fellow Demon Members if you are planning to go tonight be aware there is a bike race around the city tonight.

It starts at 6.15 and goes from Fed. Square to the Casino on the Yarra bank via Alex. ave etc.

It will make everything around the city very busy I would think.

So leave early you might have trouble getting there and parking.

Have a nice day.
