Glad it’s sorted

when I initially opened this thread, I thought Demonland had arranged a fundraiser at Spearmint Rhino

At least women will be invited there.

PS when is this event bring organised?

So the point easily missed is women were never ever going to be excluded from the event as the club allows female guests but denies female memberships much as some clubs deny male membership.

Another non-issue made into an issue thewn re-issued.

Or is the point that has been easily missed that women should not have to tip their hat for permission to participate in community events according the whims of an ancient and venerable bastion of quite explicit chauvanism?

Even symbolically.

Anyway, the very easy adjustment has been made and you can take your little teacup and it's little storm and sip it till you burst.

The majority of "consumers" want woke-leftism politics to keep the hell away from sport. It is the tiny minority of loud mouthed virtue signallers who demand every organisation kowtow to their leftardism who make this an issue when it is not.

Like I said, it's nothing more than pissweak pandering, but you guys can celebrate your victory. Good for you. ?

It actually is an issue, a lot of people were very [censored] off, whether you or i give a dam doesn’t matter. 
we need Money and Land from The State  Government so it was not smart to rock the boat

Diplomacy is important when you need something

The ABC is reporting on a coterie group holding its season launch at the male-only Australia Club.

"The event, promoted on the group's social media page, is being held on March 9, the day after International Women's Day.

Featured guests on the night will include Melbourne Football Club president Glen Bartlett and former AFL players Gary Pert, Mark Williams, Adem Yze, Alan Richardson and Garry Lyon."

They've also highlighted the recent change to Bartlett's title, which is seemingly at odds with the choice of venue.

"The Australian Club, established in 1878, excludes women from membership, but has in recent years allowed female guests to visit.

Last month, Fox Sports reported Glen Bartlett's title at Melbourne Football Club had been changed from chairman to president following feedback from female members."

Thoughts? Is it all much ado about nothing, or does it send the wrong signal?

It's an old Business club.. Who cares..

Are you seriously suggesting that holding a question and answer in a room that permits male and women quests, but only male members would have the potential to cost us Government support?

What a ridiculous overreaction. I can't believe you mean what you are saying.

You haven’t been reading the responses by the wider Community in Melbourne. 
The venue was severely frowned upon. 
 

I have been a Member of the MCC since 1982, back then The MCC Reserve was Men Only 

I thought it was great, but it wouldn’t survive today. The pendulum has swung, as i said before, whether you or i like it Faulty. 
The AFLW has seen to that. (I don’t watch it, but the younger generation does)

You and I may think it is an overreaction, but that is irrelevant 

We have to play the game, if we want some new elite Training Facilities

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1
