    How good is it being represented by Glen Bartlett and Peter Jackson at the GM you can now start to sense the strength that is steadily growing at the MFC. After our last two faulty starts we are about to become a meaningful Club again. Wahoooo!!!

    Plus Roos, Goodwin, McCartney, Mahoney and Co. also help (without neglecting our recruiting team)!

    - A/c was working!

    - Paul Roos not there.

    - Big round of applause from all in attendance when GB mentioned 2 year contract extension for PJ

    - Club was aiming internally for 7 wins this season.  Didn't say they were satisfied with that, as could/should have won many more, but just that it was their target. 

    - PJ went through financials, happy with progress. Expects profit next year in the range of $300-$400k. Provided reason for slight drop but dont remember specifics. Was something to do with extra costs related to the refurbishment of something, somewhere...

    - Life members presented. Rivers & the Skipper got up to speak, Sylvia absent as he had shoulder reconstruction yesterday.

    - Only question of note from the floor is why the AGM is being conducted a week before Christmas rather than the usual early Feb.  Answer was that it is a better time of year to do it as in Feb (2016) we want to be gearing up for new season, rather than looking back.

    - New players introduced.  Olivier is quite a bit taller than I expected.  Melksham, Weed, Bugg & Olivier all did a quick interview with Goodwin. Oliver a bit like a deer in headlights. Poor fella looked very nervous. Made reference to himself being a dead ringer to Jordie McKenzie which got a good laugh.

    - Goodwin is a very funny man

    - Saty has spray painted his hair fluro orange

    Thanks for report. I'm not sure if it was deliberate, but to name our number 1 draft pick after one who many would say was the greatest at his craft of all time works for me. I'm quite happy with the nickname of Lord Olivier.

    Saw something on Twitter about some limitations on questions.

    What was that about?

    I was there WJ and no limitations.

    They asked for questions and only three were asked.

    Have no idea what that was about.

    Did PJ mention  the sponsorship strategy this year? Surely we need desperatley a big name sponsor with plenty of cash

    Plus one attendee got up to ostensibly ask a question, but stated that she'd now like to hear from our coach in waiting, thus brought an end to the Q&A component onf the night!

    No real revelations for me from all this, I did not when looking through the Annual Report that we extended our Lease at Aami Park for another 5 years midyear, not sure

    if that was reported anywhere, with an option of another rolling 6 year lease after that.

    Extensive renovations to the Leigh Oak had been delayed, and thus part of a debt to the Westpac for this was not included in this years financials, so expect that to hit our bottom line next year.

    Cash bar afterwards was exorbitantly priced as usual.

    Yeah, I saw him at training with the orange hair. He also painted his beard blue too (no joke).

    Sounds like he lost a bet with someone ...

    I can imagine. Loved him in Spartacus.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
