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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
