Well done!

Some D'landers have been questioning why he has been 'quiet'.  Hopefully, they will be now be satisfied.

    There might be a joke there about audience numbers, but I'm not going to make it.

    How dare you sir. The Soundcloud numbers listed on the site only include that streaming platforms numbers. It does not include Apple, Android and other Podcasting app numbers.

    Well as a long term listener, chat room regular  and occasional caller that pleases me no end

    I actually think it's almost a strength of Bartlett's to be almost invisible.  Not that I claim to have any inside insight into the actual state of play, but his being a low profile chairman seems to work from the perspective of providing a stable cohesive environment which lets our administrators and footy departments get on with the job.

    Keen to hear more about the options/potential on a new home base, covid crisis and all.

    Is he worried any club/MFC could fold/merge/be moved?

    2020 is the year they had tagged as the year where we would be challenging for premierships in the plan, how does he think we are travelling against that?

    The most obvious question will be an update on a home base. 
    I’m not expecting anything remarkable  from him but I expect you guys to go full mongrel on him demanding clarity on it. 

  • Quote

    obvious q's:

    • what are the plans for the home base?
    • what effect will covid have on this?
    • is casey a fallback option?
    • what are plans for additional revenue opportunities given divesting of pokie revenue?
    • what are the short-term and long-term threats of 'rona decimating clubland from a staff / list perspective?
    • if we don't make finals in 2020 does that mean a new coach in 2021? (as outlined in their own future planning documentation)
    • how frustrated are the board by team's performances, given that success off-field is to a large degree dictated by success onfield?

    The inequalities in the draw (normal season) as far as the Dees always playing at Geelong and in Tasmania when compared to other Melbourne based clubs.  What does the AFL say to the club about this? What does the club say to the AFL about this?

    Apart from asking members/supporters to dig into their pockets, what other initiatives are being undertaken to claw back the loss in revenue?

    How on earth did he become a Melbourne supporter when he grew up in Perth, lived there up until about 10 years ago (so deep in his 40s), and actually play for the WCE? I don't get it. Not complaining though.

    Good question why he would volunteer and waste his time with us why don’t you ask him?

    Well done guys, enjoying your podcast and this is a great get.

    An update on the financial position of the club and the impact caused by COVID-19 to club finances would be great.

    An update on how the 5 Million requested from supporters is going, and the high level split of how it will be used to pay off debt vs strategic plan etc

    Goodwin has undone all of Roosy’s work and now he has no idea what to do. 
     

    Get Craig Belamey to Coach the MFC with a few Assistants 

    He would sort this place out in 6 months

    What’s a day in the life of a club president actually look like? How many hours a day/week during footy season are you working on the club?

    How do you evaluate the Footy adept as a whole/as individuals?

    Goodwin's tenure as coach really needs to be put to Bartlett (and to not accept cop-out answers).

    The board unnecessarily extended his contract for way too long, that puts us in a position that has us stuffed financially if we get rid of him early, or even more stuffed with membership retention (ultimately financially) if we don't.

    Sorry RG but I don't agree while it might have some benefits inside the club from the outside it is perceived that we just roll over on anything the AFL bowls up. Most non dees supporters just see us as a weak small club without any balls. We need a bit more Eddie / Kennet in our chief. Right now the people in the outer want to know what is being done to change the team results. We have a silent Chairman and Silence CEO. Add a coach that believes in learnings. The silence is deafening.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
