Our B&F is on Friday 6 October - maybe then? There will be loads of speeches ....

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.

'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.' Above is from the Club's Governance Page. Fire up Demonlanders - if you want positive change, start at the top!

"Heart and Soul" just rolls off the tongue re Jimmy. What a warrior! Hopefully Whitey stays goes again to provide continuing leadership at Casey.

Goody is not being sued. The former Pres is suing four of the current directors, although the events around the period end 2020/beginning 2021 seem to be relevant to the case.

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

Well done Katrina! Terrific result!

Frisbees with arms and legs attached?

A ridiculous decision by the AFL Katrina - how many do we expect at Casey on Saturday afternoon - 2 or 3,000? And there is very limited alternative seating.

AFL Gold member - Supporting Club participating - and yet standing room only - unbelievable!

Forward flank, Level 1 - all Demons - and me. Pretty good!

Apparently Turner did actually play forward and played well....watch that space.

Spot on.

No mention of Harmesy?

We should be playing North, who finished 10th - haven't seen any details yet?

Crowd yesterday was 50,142, making home average at the MCG this year 48,786

How about we finish 3rd and play Collingwood, who finish 2nd because the Bombers knock them off next Friday night (and Freo beat Port this weekend)?

No Harmes?

Bonnie Doon?

Here are the numbers for our home games excluding Alice: 1. Western Bulldogs 48,103 3 Sydney 42,423 6 Richmond 83,985 7 North 29,455 11 Freo 29,154 12 Carlton 49,872 13 Collingwood 83,578 18 Brisbane 38,030 19 Adelaide 33,122 Average 48,636 Hawthorn to come of course

Looks like it's on Channel 7.

There were two different MFC functions yesterday - the Ron Barassi Bequest Society and the Foundation Heroes event. Gary Pert was at the latter.

Maybe it is a restriction applicable to the Caulfield Racecourse Reserve Trust or incorporated in its Land Management Plan?

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.

Heard 21 year lease. Two ovals. Building to house admin and football department. $15 million needed from us - come on down Foundation Heroes and Legends.
