    I have been to the majority of these over the last 30 years. I miss actually going to the meeting. Zoom meetings are not the same but perhaps that is just me trapped in the 20th century.

    Did you go to Roos first AGM?

    He said like 'At the Swans 5 people would turn up and I would say if anyone has any questions ask me at the bar over a beer'. (Meeting closed).

    I unfortunately have work commitments and cannot attend the 2022 MFC AGM.

    Can someone who is attending please ask some questions at the AGM on my behalf?

    They are combined questions. But I think it is important that they are asked.

    1) What is happening with the progress of the Home Training Base? Is it still a priority for the MFC? Why is it taking so long? How much will it cost and can a fund raising campaign be initiated so that MFC members and supporters can financially contribute?

    2) Why were MFC members not sent their MFC board election papers earlier? Why were some MFC members not sent their MFC board election papers or they were sent to the wrong address? How is a democratically fair and transparent election process supposed to be conducted in these circumstances? Who is going take responsibility for these incompetent mistakes?

     

    Anyway, hopefully others here on Demonland feel the same way that these questions need to be answered with a full explanation by the MFC board or CEO Gary Pert (who I think is doing a fantastic job). I am not asking these questions to cause "trouble". I totally support Kate Roffey as President and who ever else is elected on the MFC board. I simply love and care about the MFC and want to have some answers.

    This has been mentioned many times by Roffey, she has answered these questions and that they are still in talks but cannot say anything at the moment and soon as they can release something they will, this will be the standard answer till they can.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
