Racist and filthy club. “Superfan” Joffa and Straughnie just lame attempts of promoting themselves. If Joffa supported any other team the media wouldn’t pay any attention to him. I hope he gets convicted

    Pluses and minuses here.

    Would you think it good to have no candidates to vote for in the upcoming State elections?

    10 candidates gives members options, it's called democracy.

    The down side of democracy is you are answerable to your constituents and this can make some things difficult to achieve as not all of them will agree with your ideas. Some might even have better ideas.

    They weren't a basket case this year.  Far from it. I'm in oar of what they achieved this year.

    It's hardly democracy at Collingwood while only about 10,000 of their 100,000 members have voting rights.  That club could implode and there's nothing the "members" can do about it.

    It's massively crook, isn't it?  I don't see how they can be termed members if they don't have voting rights.  Only the social club members and coterie have voting rights.  It's a strange situation.  Brisbane Lions are also set up that way.

    This article explains what the situation stood last year.  I cannot see any evidence of them having an SGM to change that aspect of their ordinary membership definition, unless it was an agenda item in their AGM last December, for which I'm struggling to find the minutes of. If the situation has changed, then good on them, and I stand corrected.

    Good points @rjay. Democracy as a social experiment is in retreat globally, good to see the Filth bucking the trend 🤣

    They are both consistent aren't they?

    Article states AFL Club Support member

    Club note states AFL members not eligible

    Actually, the article is poorly written and confuses Barry Cassidy opinion with example of the specific Member, and the 15k/85k number doesn't seem right given Melbourne has a 42k/23k ratio with similar categories and some similarity in rules

     

    Melbourne has MCC/ MFC (basic/premium) - for a long time the only difference really was a Vote, then they threw in some steak knifes

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
