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!!!

- 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.

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.

At training the other day there was an old guy with an fluro orange streak through his hair, so probably yeah

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

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
