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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
