I think many posters are confusing tonight's event with the AGM. 
The B&F is tightly scripted. It begins with highlights of the first six rounds and vote totals are posted.
A number of awards are presented eg Jim Stynes Community involvement award etc. Very short speeches.
Another six rounds of highlights and votes.
A meal break.
More presentations and a speech by the Pres. It'll be very positive without controversy I suspect.
More highlights and votes.
More presentations - best first year player etc.
Goodwin's speech - all positive, nothing controversial.
Final rounds and tallies.
I've attended more than a dozen going back to the nineties (run at Melbourne Town Hall with about 300 in attendance).
That includes the Neeld years - a very depressing few years but you wouldn't have known it as the B&F was all positives.
Previous years have seen the club song sung with gusto at the end. Not sure that will happen tonight.
I can't see a donnybrook breaking out. Any attempt by an attendee to ask a question will be shut down.
 

True. Ive been to a few in the past as well. The issues in the media cannot be ignored as they relate to players Trac and Clarry who are so important to our club and who are contracted for a long time.

The president as an ex player has an excellent opportunity to make a statement that puts the speculation to bed.

Server will crash 2 minutes in, with the amount of people tuning in to the next episode of "MFC - our life in shambles".

The program may be closely scripted, but anytime you have a room full of unhappy supporters it's going to be unpredictable.

Mickey your assuming that everyone follows DLand.

Gee can't wait to hear the positive spin goody will try to sell us.

Nobody is forcing you to listen, then you won't have to whine.

I have it on good authority that Sam MaClure has placed a bug under Gary Pert’s plate and, not to be outdone, Sam Edmund has placed one in a urinal cake

What should he say ? The real situation as best can and will be solved ? The Media Gossip ?The spin doctor approach? Give an honest statement of generalities and guarantee to put a stop to it? Resign and ask for a Presidential nomination from the floor from Demonland.? Ask if WCW is still alive and available to mediate as she loves/likes Clarry like we all mostly do and want to keep him? 

I don’t think hardly any/ or many of these questions will be answered except for a short statement the club can give on the situation which might be hopefully solved today in negotiations/ discussions with  Clarry his Manager and the Club to go forward.

Could be like this come 10:30ish:

 

The tension is such I think we all need to have it out...

[spirit of norm smith 16,587]

Should be an interesting night.

Hopefully we get to see Riv in the top 5.  Had a great year.

No I'm not. If you think the melts are limited to DL, that's definitely not the case

My partner refers to the clubs shenanigans as ‘The Real Housewives of Casey’.

Your source got it slightly wrong. It's Tom Morris, and he's come dressed as a urinal cake.

I thought he looked more like a humble pie twice removed.

Maybe clarry will get on the beers tonight to force a trade

[Undeeterred 3,124]

Gee I’d love to see the ‘company line tonight’ post from Max to the players WhatsApp group or whatever it is they use to communicate with each other

Will there be a live cross to Austria so Trac can give his acceptance speech?
