The Members' Brief

I asked a curly question LH.  I asked how members were supposed to make a decision on who to elect to the Board if candidates were only allowed to submit a 300 word description on their credentials.

When i logged on last night it kept freezing so I'll watch today.  I didn't expect an answer to my question but Roffey ducks anything hard.  I've lost a lot of respect for the Board.  Thank heavens the players have higher standards.

That was a good question, giving the limitations placed on candidates have been questioned elsewhere on this forum.  I had a sense a lot of 'curly' questions never saw the light of day. 

Not a curly question but I would like to have known what Nathan Jones is up to career wise.   I'm sure he is busy with his family but his adoring dee fans would like to know a bit more now that it s nearly 5 months since he retired.

It saddens me that you are losing respect for the Board.  I'm not at that point yet but am having doubts about their methods and direction.

If they stay unified it may not affect the players or the football department.  That may be a big 'if' given the leaking that is going on.

To me it was like a warm fireside chat, albeit seated at tables.  Are dee fans so satisfied that no 'curly' questions were raised?

Reading that yes there is inference to the question and on the question of the building I think you would find confidentiality agreement would be in play as there would be stakeholders to consider in the proposal.

I can answer a few of your questions! 
 

I went to dinner with the Dees last Friday night which was awesome. 

To answer your earlier question and speaking of leaks, I was at the urinal lol and all the boys came in at same time so there I was suddenly next to Trac! They were talking about Burgo and I asked Trac if we were going to miss him. He very quickly replied no we are in real good hands with Selwyn.

Jonesy was also there and whilst he has his feelers out for a few different gigs which he didn’t divulge in, he is preparing for a triathlon. This was not discussed at the urinal ☺️

I was quite happy with the format, Benny Gibson has really stepped up in his role and managed the meeting admirably. Perty went over the review process again and also explained the difficulty and ramifications caused by cutting $3m out of the soft cap, etc.

Goody, Richo, Tim Lamb and Selwyn spoke eloquently on the FD and fitness regime and Tracc spoke confidently about our future and Stinesr spoke well on behalf of our AFLW team.

I wasn’t expecting any dirty Laundry to be aired or home ground announcements. The Club is holding the line and not being sucked into any slanging matches that cannot be won on social media.❤️💙💕

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
