MCC Committee election

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,778]

Voting closes  this coming Friday 11th.

The 5 standing are...

Peter Adams

James Cain

Anthony Johnson

Sam King

Alice Robinson.

They all have good  corporate experience.  I think we Demon fans should try to get as many Demon-sympathetic committee members as possible. ( I realise they have to be MCC-, and not MFC-minded  when they're on the board, but I think it's preferable to having , say, Collingwood or Hawthorn devotees on the committee)

Do any Demonlanders have any knowledge of  what team any of the candidates follow?  It'd help me, at least, decide how I, and my family vote.

Shocked to see no Dangerfield on the list.

Is anyone interested?

[Tony Tea 2,806]

I've been a voting MCC member since the mid 80s and I have never voted in an MCC election. I will if Will Fowles ever runs again. Against him; even if it means supporting Australia's worst person (apart from Fowles).

Yes, if anybody has information on the candidates? Bad luck there are no retired MFC players standing. There are certainly enough former players who belong to the Cricket Club and a good many would have the business experience required to join the committee.

Fun fact - Adrian Anderson is not only on the MCC Committee but is Vice-President. Did not know that!

More interested in the MFC. Three vacancies on our Board this year - but, in the past, somehow (as if by magic) the vacancies get filled - just before the Director nomination period opens. We are due for a new Chair of the Nominations Committee - I wonder who that will be? Maybe we will get an improved process.

Thanks, Hawk,.

This thread is about the MCC election, which could have significant, if indirect, relevance to the MFC.

Same here, only have time for one board interest. 

Well that and the DL boards.

Fwiw, someone told me today that Peter Adams is a Dee tragic. Second-hand info, so don’t know directly.

Thanks Tim

I voted for him, luckily.
