It seems odd that we have had no press conf, press release nor member email to announce the appointment.

Tom Morris who leaked the story of Bartlett standing down seems to have gone to ground.  And the Pert email he thought had been sent on Saturday night doesn't seem to have existed or he was misinformed.

Wouldn't mind seeing something official from mfc on Kate's appointment. 

the pert email was to core business units, i.e. goodwin, who mentioned it in his press conference

    Definitely has the CV to help push through the new facility.

    All the best Kate, someone get her a new scarf!

    The majority of Presidents and CEO's I have seen at the MFC have been average plodders with a few complete farc ups and the very odd outstanding ones.

    If Kate turns out to be a competent plodder I'll be happy.

    I know her from ABC TV Breakfast appearances, don’t always agree with her politics but she is very competent. 

    Swings left? Let’s hope she doesn’t bring that garbage into the club

    Equality means equal for both parties.  It is better in some places in the world, but i think you are so far off the mark here it just screams ignorance and male entitlement.   i might need a reality check and live in fantasy land as you put it, but i would say you need to delve a bit deeper and look within yourself.

    You still did not answer why you reacted in such a way?

    Please explain !

    Do you want equality of opportunity or equality of outcome ? 

    They are very different things.

    Is she hugging Mark "Choco" Williams there? Great to see!

    Gotta love Mark "Choco" Williams! Not sure if people read the article in the Herald Sun on Sunday about Demons wingman Ed Langdon singing the praises of Mark "Choco" Williams and how he has helped Ed Langdon to be more calm with his kicking and improve his kicking skills. Brilliant stuff!

    Seems as qualified as any president we’ve had in the past and it’s a great progressive move for us to have our first female president. 

    The coterie club might need to be a little sharper on the locations of future functions though!

    All the best to Bartlett, probably the most stable years off the field we’ve had since I’ve been following the Dees.

    Mark Williams has been the missing ingredient, the assistant that we truly needed. I just hope he sticks around for a good number of years. 
    The MFC needs stability and continuity 

    Players will come to us and our core will play out entire careers.

    Don't know about sick but he looked over weight and a little worn out. So that fits comment.

    Whatever the reasons, it appears that the changeover to Roffey has been handled well without much fuss. No mud slinging or rumours. 

    Well done MFC and another indication that we are a professional outfit with a smooth operation. .

    Are you talking about women in China, Middle East and India?    Because they have it bad.  Real bad.

    As for Australia and the west you are living in fantasy land if you think there's gender inequality here. 

     

    This is a ****house post. Congratulations.

    This appointment has been made on merit. Anyone suggesting otherwise has obviously not bothered to do any research. Her accomplishments with respect to delivery of major projects are truly impressive and we are in the very fortunate position that she has been leveraging those connections to get our home base approved. I believe this appointment can only help that process.

    This is not a token appointment to tick a gender equality box. She is the best person for the job. End of story.

    Best of luck Kate.

    Dear Kate,

    Congratulations,

    Some notes for your agenda ? from the outer:

    1. Hold open elections of directors and publish subsequent results

    2. Treat and inform members with respect; members whose passion is why you are there.

    3. Build a Board better than the rest in the AFL, befitting the men's and women's teams exciting performances on the field.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
