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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
