Fox 'Man on the Mark' segment is reporting we have a replacement for Ryan Larkin, to be announced after Easter.

"...Hawthorn’s Clare Pettyfor has won the race for the coveted position ahead of a string of highly credentialed candidates. She will leave the Hawks after six years".

A little bit of 'googling' shows her sister Kathleen is a physio at MFC and is married to Alex Sakadjian who spent a number of years in our Sports Science team.  So there is a strong mfc connection for Clare.

If Clare's appointment is correct, then welcome aboard the Demons train!

Well done MFC.

I'm happy to provide some ideas for Clare on how comms.could be improved at the mfc, should she be interested.

Replying to emails from members would be one. Particularly those that are specifically about poor communication.

Like the one I sent nearly three weeks ago and have yet to receive a response.

There might be lots of reasons why staff can't respond to all emails/phone calls.

fwiw, may I suggest this isn't the thread to air grievances.

If it is Clare, give her time to settle in and assess where things are at.

I reckon I sent an email same time period as you and I'm still waiting for response..


I'd rather the club focus it's limited resources on footy this year and as long as we know when and where the AFL and AFLW matches are and how to buy tickets, and maybe some fan engagement for kids,  that is enough for me.

I'm happy that the club doesn't promote Casey home and away matches, and presume this is deliberate so they don't have to worry as much re Covid protocols for supporters attending Casey matches.

For the adult supporters I'm sure we can all get by without knowing all of the ins and outs of what's happening within the club for 1 season. Alternatively the club could get Gary Pert to run Whiteboard Wednesday sessions to share insights into the inner workings of the footy department.

Step one - don’t send out finals brochures before we’ve made finals! 
That 2017 [censored] up was like salt in the wound for members when we stuffed up in the last round and didn’t make it.

While that's being sorted out, a side question: how does a 'communications' person qualify for a senior 'football' position? (cue 'It is Collingwood after all' jokes)

 

p.s. But good on her: Onwards, greater balance in the AFL!

p.p.s. And sn't it a credit to MFC and its systems, culture, etc, that we are fostering senior, promotable, adaptable people?

Jeez no one is saying Pert or for that matter Kate Roffe are perfect but they as a team have turned our ship around despite innuendo and criticism at most announcements / changes. We are no longer that club that was on our hands and knees wishing that we could be up there with the successful clubs. It’s time to stop and smell the roses, enjoy our current success and put our personal grievances aside.!!

Would be pretty apparent if you read the article.

It appears to be quite a big promotion for Clare, nothing to do with being squeezed out more a recognition of her skill set and experience.!!

It is also that only 50% of their (females in senior or coaching positions) salaries are included in the soft cap.  This is to encourage recruitment of females into the otherwise male domain.  This also impacts Daisy when she goes to Geelong in a coaching role next year.

Oh that’s interesting. Is this a short term incentive?

Not sure, just that it is now in play and many clubs are exploring the opportunity to add talent at soft cap discounts….

Don't let Mach 5 read this post.🙂

Talk about titles I now live in a Lifestyle Community and a couple of weeks ago I got an email from the "Head of Experience" what the hell does that mean?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
