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 !!

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.?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
