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.❤️💙💕

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
