    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
