Annual General Meeting


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

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.

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. ?

Really like the ambitious goals and core values. Simple targets that the whole club can aim at.

It's about bloody time we made a declaration like this.

As Pert states, it all flows from results on the footy field.

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?

What was the response?

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.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
