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.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
