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. Of the MFCSS

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

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
