Unfortunately, I cannot physically attend the Melbourne Football Club Annual General Meeting tonight (20/2/2023) at 6:30pm.

Hopefully it will be live streamed?

Obviously, there are some important items on the Agenda for this AGM.

All I respectfully request, is if someone could please ask the Melbourne Football Club Board what is happening with our Home Base? We as Melbourne Demons members deserve an update on it's progress.

 

 
 

According to the email sent to members it is live steamed:

The Melbourne Football Club Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held at 6.30pm on 20 February 2023 at the Olympic Room, Gate 3, Level 2 at the MCG.  The AGM will also be livestreamed for members who wish to watch it but cannot attend.

There was, is working now


A pathetic streaming attempt…

another communication issue as sound went off, pictures went off and finished half way through.

Regarding the Home Base Pert spoke for a long time and had no answer.Crapped on about how difficult it was to make a decision.And that he couldn’t tell us what the options were because it would breach confidentiality!

Can you tell us which $20 - 50 odd multi million dollar projects that you started with state, federal and council from the ground up, as you think that is easy to do? I hope you understand the word confidentiality? or should they just let everyone know and get all parties to withdraw from the talks.

Translation for:  "We've really not progressed as well as we would have like and there is currently no option available at this point".

Perhaps he could tell us which options they have explored and the time frame they are working to, to make a decision.
 


I watched Kate Roffe speech and although I enjoyed the content I thought that Kate sounded a bit edgy did something happen??

I couldn’t get into the livestream so am awaiting for the other speeches to be posted on website?

I very much doubt much progress has been made. I hope i am wrong, but i don’t think so. Not blaming anyone. Just reality. There is nothing to tell….

 

Ok when state, federal and council money or approval for such projects are needed especially in this climate money wise all parties will not want information let out, but regarding the Caulfield project there was a delay and still might be regarding issues with the council and community groups and other parties, personally the only people moaning is a minority section of members, the club has Casey Fields and its set up AMMi park for gym and pools and the admin is there as well, we also won a Premiership with these same conditions, I wonder if these people seem to think there will be a social section for the club in any new amenities, now you can believe Pert or just come out and say he's lying instead of innuendo comments.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
