Hats off to Kate Roffey. Kate will not be going to Perth due to the limited number of MFC people allowed into WA. I am sure Kate could have found a way to be included in the party of 55 but she put others ahead of herself. A real leader.....

 

Is the 55 inclusive of players and coaching staff? If so then, i dont think she really had much of a say as they would have absolutely had to have priority. 

 

Can the club out source people from  WA if we are short staffed eg. Trainers/masseuses?

If needed, I would be surprised if Freo and Eagles staff don't offer to help.

When the northern states had to leave their state this year various clubs lent them equipment,  physios etc.

Hats off to Kate and an absolute shambles that only 55 can attend.

No doubt blokes like Eddie McGuire, Tom Browne and Damien Barrett (who's already quarantining) will somehow find their way over there.

Spot on. I just think it is a great sign for the future.

I wouldn't mind a massage from the wiz.

It’s one gesture, but it speaks volumes about her character. And that’s a reflection of the culture of our club. I feel sorry for supporters of other clubs who aren’t in a position to be proud of their club’s admin. as we are. (I don’t really feel sorry for them. 😏)

i thought it was 55 for adelaide,  but 75 for perth

maybe she can make it for perth? 


I assume our ex president will be there, as he lives in Perth?

I also heard it was 75 to WA and 55 to SA, hence why half the squad flew directly to Perth instead of jumping off in SA.

Still, 75 is not a lot when you take your whole list, plus coaches, plus medical staff, plus media team. It leaves very little room for anyone else. I wonder if Pert went. I assume he has.

I'd be flabbergasted if Pert didn't make the cut.

Having said that he's not the one kicking the footy or moving the magnets, so you can never be too sure.

If the president of Melbourne didn't make the cut, there's absolutely no way that any other MFC member from Victoria will be able to get an exemption to isolate for 14 days.

It is impossible to get an exemption.  

She inherited an extraordinary position. Outside of her connections with the Dan Andrew's Government at a time we are pleading for a club centre, she offers nothing. No loss.

I'm genuinely asking how you come to that conclusion? No agenda, just curious.

That’s a different commentary  to what is being said here GNF. you’ve normally got great mail. 

not impressed with the car park proposal?

Kate sacrifices her chance to be at the GF even though her team is still in the running. 
On the other end of the scale Eddie McGuire has been knocked back by WA in his application for a permit. He plans to re-apply since he doesn’t accept the refusal. He was refused a permit because he was, in his capacity as a broadcaster, deemed non-essential. 
But what riles me the most is that his application included his two sons whom he listed as “producers.” Give me strength. 🙄

McGuire received a personal rejection from the WA Chief of Police. 😂

I thought you would have stopped after your trading debacles over the years, but lols... I hope you enjoy attending the game.

Can someone tell me why Tom Browne's getting an exemption.

Does channel 7 Perth not have a sports reporter that Melbourne's channel 7 news can correspond with?

I was thinking about this, I know he probably wouldn't be up for it, but any member of the previous successful era, starting with RDB31 should be given a ticket and some grace to be there. I would dearly love to see Ron hand over the Cup to Max.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
