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.

For once we are throwing out our ambitions publicly. I approve. 
 

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
