God bless? What is "woke" about Kate Roffey?

She doesn’t have a you-know-what’s-it?

    This has nothing to do with Bartlett. 

    KR was elected President with one ambition, one KPI.  That's is to use her close ties with the Andrew's Government to convince them to back our MGC precedent Social Club & Training facility.  If you ask KR she speaks openly that this is why she was elected and this is her mission. Her skill set and network outside of this is limited for a football club. 

    Good luck to her.

    Why so churlish?

    You sign off on all these posts with a passive aggressive aside of encouragement, but I don’t know who you’re kidding. 

    Put up your massive concerns or complaints or put your dismissiveness to the side. 

    Or keep posting this stuff on a forum and tell us to calm down as you get your reaction…

    Sorry mate, auto correct on my mobile phone.  

    Are you suggesting because I quoted a spelling mistake that I a dumb? 

    For the record, I have seen her CV.  

    What I have said is correct. 

     

     

    Just like the correct use of the english language.

    To be honest, that would put her one up against Bartlett. Incremental improvement!

    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.....

    I really hope Victoria make it incredibly hard for WA teams/supporters to get into Victoria once we open up.

    That comes across as quite nasty, vindictive and childish, Doug.

    Why would you want to punish innocent players and supporters?

    Kate will ultimately be judged on whether she delivers a home base or not. In this regard her CV is impeccable. I don't think there is another man or woman more qualified for the job

    And I haven't seen her pushing a woke agenda either unless advocating for the women's team is considered woke.

    I don't care which way she leans but if we get stuck in the carpark of collingwoods facility then she has failed!

    Better to be woke than asleep at the wheel, I suppose.

    But why?  It just sounds like immature retribution along the "two wrongs make a right" school of thought.

    This pandemic is not about politics.  It is a major health issue that impacts on people regardless of who they vote for.

    This Pandemic has become a Political [censored] Measuring contest. McGowern smugly said on radio "He didn;t pay a cent for the GF too."

    Does not make sense Doug. If it is a political issue then why penalise players and the supporters of those teams? Anyway it is an absurd proposition.

    We can put our hats back on.

    Roffey has made it to Perth according to channel 7. Kochie has been denied entry.

    Tom Browne and Sam McClure have also made the trip - because apparently  Perth doesn’t have journalists and TV news sports reporters

    Gutter journalism is an essential profession it seems.

    Sam M is a lot better than Browne.

    I am biased because I know Sam but he is pretty good IMO. He is also cut from the Caro cloth of destroying his club when they deserve it as he has done with his beloved Blues.

    He doesn’t offend me. Browne though is a dweeb.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
