MCC Committee Election

The Panglossian
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Do any Demonlanders know the MFC connections of the 6 candidates seeking 3 positions.

I want to see as much MFC Sympathy on the Committee as possible. I think it's very important.

The 6 candidates are...

Peter King, John Mugavin, Clare Cannon, Duncan Banks, Bill Hodges, and Adrian Anderson.

I think Anderson oversaw the unfair singling out of MFC in the tanking saga, while Demetriou was away. I therefore won't vote for him.

I see Bill Hodges at all MFC games, so assume he's a Dee supporter. (then again, he says in his manifesto he attends over 90% of MCC events, so perhaps not)

Does anyone know of their affiliations?

We have to vote before 16/8.

    Peter King, record holder for biggest six hit to northern side of the MCG: see red seat marking the spot near cricketers viewing box! Apparently big Dee's fan, vote for him.

    Also well respected in business community and brings business/marketing expertise to the committee.

    I'm not sure about the others, so any information welcome.

    I shall not vote for Adrian Anderson!

    I will vote for anybody who wants to ban the wearing of denim jeans in the members reserve, I don't care what AFL team they support. I've had a gut full of seeing bogans and oafs in rubbishy denim jeans coming in to the reserve. Show a bit of pride in your appearance, people. Dress up !!

    Plain jeans are okay. Stretch, stonewash, jeggings or "distressed" jeans are not.

    It's a bit like the farce of the voluntary postal plebiscite. It will not make any difference. Although some take their responsibilities more seriously than I do. Which may be a good thing. However, it will not make an iota of difference to the big picture.

    I get the impression , from Clare Cannon's profile, she's not a Dee supporter. The fact that the MFC isn't mentioned suggests to me she supports some other team, or no AFL team at all.

    She is more involved with cricket...and so she probably should be, on the MCC Committee!  However, I'm trying to find out who has leanings to MFC , like Steve Smith, the pres.

    So far, I reckon we should go for King and Hodges.

    Can anyone suggest who the third vote should go to, with the welfare of the MFC in mind.?

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

      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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
