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.

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
