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.?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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?
