I have it on my calendar so I guess at some point I heard about it.

Haven't gone this year. The members forum late last year covered everything I used to go along to AGM to hear.

    What? I had no idea it was on tonight. I was thinking  just today it must be soon.

    Where was the communication? No email. Nothing that I saw on the MFC site. 

    I had planned to go. Ironically  was going to ask about their poor communication and what strategies they had to improve it.

    It was advertised, refer to lord nevs' post and I also read about it. I also recall some on this site complaining that it was being held so late.

    So do I. It gives the club nowhere to hide. About time we had the sack to ante-up.

    Apparently, the MFC Annual General Meeting is officially underway at the MCG.

    Do people still go?

     

    Over 52,200 members didn’t go. Smallest AGM in years yet, we had highest membership last year. ?

    I got up and spoke about the very same thing. Nothing on the Club official Ap. ?

    That was two months ago! No wonder hardly anybody turned up! Nothing posted in the last fortnight that I saw. ?

    Sorry nev, I am not having a crack at you here, but this was posted back in December. Over the past month or few weeks there has been no advertising reminder or any notice in the past week.

    Sorry but this is incredibly poor communication by the club. For us to be a success club on and off the field it's the small things like this that we still have a long way to go, and need to get right first.

    Nah not at all mate, didn't take it as a crack and I agree it's been swept under the rug a little bit seemingly.

    Not sure if that's due to everything else going on PR wise, if they thought we'd just remember or they just didn't really want to push it.

    TBF not a lot of people usually go though.

    Doesn't that make you feel the members were not welcome.

    Made me think they only wanted those members to come who were capable of long term planning...

    Yes.

    Or at the least certainly not encouraged. I mean they post a notice on the MFC site 6 December and that's it? You have to be kidding.What sort of message does that send?

    If asked why they will no doubt talk about the members forum. But i didn't go t that as i wanted to go to the AGM and ask the board via the chairperson and CEO a question related to off filed performance not on filed stuff which i knew would be the focus of the members forum.  

    Sure i could have checked when it was but i had fully expected it would be promoted (and then flagged on here). It has in previous years.

    I am not happy and will write to the club to express my frustration.

    I went, I had it synced on my phone, my home computer and my work computer, so I got three reminders yesterday, all from the email in December, not bad for a 68 yr old

    Also had it on the fridge

    Which question do you want answered?

    That most questions had been answered at the members forum, and the answers had been circulated via various means

    Don't all members get a proxy form about the AGM with information on when it is on, if you really wanted to go you would have looked at the form and AGM notification, and put in your calendar I suspect you really didn't want to go, but saw it as a  opportunity the pot the club. vice-president.

    If there is no board member to elect there is no need for a proxy form.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
