Surprised nobody has mentioned this letter from the MFC President Kate Roffey.

Lots of good news which is wonderful to hear.

It seems we have 2 new board members too. Steve Morris and Mohan Jesudason are retiring and being replaced by Sarah Robinson and Geoff Porz. They both seem capable.

Here is the link regarding the letter: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1420657

 

 

Thanks Supreme.

"..

Many of you will be familiar with Geoff Porz, who has deep connections to the club as a 40+ year member, Foundation Legend and founding member of the Inner Sanctum. Geoff brings strong knowledge and experience in property, infrastructure and facility development, having developed assets in excess of $1.4 billion.   "

 

Is Geoff the man who will finally lead us to a piece of promised land, for a true home facility?

Many false dawns, but forever optimistic.

Let’s hope we don’t have a [censored] fight about this again.

What he is is Sam Stynes' husband. Bit of Demon royalty there!

He, David Rennick and Kate Roffey make a powerful combo at any table where our future base is being planned or negotiated.

I am happy with the appointments.

No complaints from me.

 

 

However, I will be asking the question about the progress of our Home Base at the MFC AGM as usual. I am extremely passionate about this issue and will not give up on it until it is finally resolved and our Home Base is built.

The possibility of the Caulfield Racecourse looks promising though. But we shall wait and see. Especially as nothing has been confirmed yet.

Besides winning Premierships, and financial security, obtaining a Home Base for the Melbourne Demons should be our number one priority.

Clearly some people feel threatened by democratic processes at play.

Ah, that Geoff...

Seemed a pretty good bloke the times I've met him.

Let's hope he can help get the home base project up and running.

Please google him and Sarah Robinson and report back to Demonlanders.

Here's to an extremely exciting period ahead for our great club. I can’t wait to see what we can achieve over the next few months.  
 

this didn’t age very well at least for the boys team

True.

 

It didn't age well.

 

But we all were extremely excited....just sadly we all got disappointed. 😔

 

Anyway, the only thing I will be bringing up with the Melbourne Football Club Board is what is the current progress of our Home Base at the Caulfield Racecourse?

'Under the Melbourne Football Club Constitution, nominations for election as a director generally close at least 30 days prior to the date of the AGM each year. The 2022/23 AGM is proposed to be held in December 2023. It is likely that the call for nominations for the board will be published on this page in mid October 2023.'

I am sure if people wish to nominate then they will do so.

I would love to be on the Melbourne Football Club Board. But unless I was a multimillionaire or a billionaire I don't think I would have the qualifications to join the Board. Even just money doesn't bring skillsets.

All I ask is that we remain a stable Football Club and we strive to win more Premierships, continue to grow our membership numbers, increase our financial strength with more investments, and last, but my no means least, get our Home Base finally built at the Caulfield Racecourse (or wherever it will be)!

Why don't you nominate, you appear to do a lot of talking about how the club needs to be run.

 

Or is that just cheap talk?

It would be best to have a number of members nominate - hopefully members with a range of skills.

It would also be better if members received a direct email advising them of the retirements and who, currently on the Board) is required to run this year. I believe that is Brad Green this year, but we have not been advised formally of that.

Kate's letter advised of the two retirements (at the end of the season - is that now?) , but then also advises us that their replacements have already been 'welcomed to the Board'. So they have been appointed by the Board, not the members. 

The next comment is normally - "if you don't like it or them you can run against them". It's a shame that it comes to that rather than going to members first.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
