When the financials you are presenting don’t make great reading I can understand the lack of marketing for the AGM. 

Timing of it being one week before the footy starts is no accident.

    I definitely received an email promoting the event and intended to go but life got in the way.

    Glad I didn’t waste my time on such meaningless fluff. 

    Pert is so out of touch, and seems to only be interested in the opinions of rusted on coterie members in their 60s+. I am certain we might do well on-field, but the club will only go backwards while he’s at the helm.

    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

    There was no proxy form sent.

    The rest of your post is playing the man.

    From anyone that went, was there a reflection on the last strategic plan and performance against any KPI"s?

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

    Was there a board election CBD?

    No use complaining about the lack of notification. 

    As others have already shown, it has been emailed to members, it has been on the club website and worst of all ( which I brought up in question time) was that 9,000 members ( I think that was the number) were sent mailed notifications, because they didn't have an email address.  It cost 4 days of packing from volunteers and $1 to post each of them. 

    And guess what, probably only 150 people turned up.

    So out of touch with what? I would have that thought those coterie members in their 60s would be the ones against his appointment as CEO, you know the linament sniffer types.

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

    Are all members sent a letter about details of the AGm still or not. Also who really cares about the AGM a advertisment once is enough anyway

    Yes I think that's heaps of communication the ones that complain are just the same people that pot the club every  chance they Getting, sick of our own slanging on  my team, other teams fans do that enough

    i knew it was coming and i must admit i wasn't interested in going

    they didn't mention, however, that they were launching the red and blue print for 2020-23 at it

    but, it's amazing, there's this wonderful / terrible thing called the internet!

    and i can watch the speeches from the launch of it from the comfort of my own home! miracles will never cease

    edit: i definitely got sent a proxy form too fwiw

    If only they captured and uploaded the entirety of Pert’s speech, instead of half of it.

    Out of touch with the common supporter; out of touch with the people on the ground; out of touch with reality...

    Growth and sustained success don’t just happen as a byproduct of winning matches. You need to invest time and resources ahead of time so that you can capitalise on the on-field successes.

    There is a startling gap in the club’s thinking where there should be detailed strategies and tactics to convert success to increased membership and revenue.

    What a load of twaddle

    All of the above was outlined at the meeting last night

    It is now available to read or watch  if you can make the effort of course, you could always ask Pert to come around to your house and do a one on one

    You’re wrong - it’s not available to read or watch, as it simply doesn’t exist.

    It’s great that’s you volunteer your time & energy to the club (alongside myself at one point, funnily enough although you won’t remember), but you’re too keen to be a club apologist. We have opportunities staring us in the face, but we’re putting them in the “too-much-effort basket” or even failing to recognise them at all, and in the same instance giving other clubs a free hit to capitalise where we could be evening the ledger.

    Name the opportunities staring us in the face that we are putting aside or not recognising.

    • 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?

      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?
