Fritta and Turner

Hope it is on the telly in FNQ

Tanner Bruhn - is that a fancy beer?

Max not in because Jacko will get more game time? Pendlebury - are you serious?

Crikey, is Casey that bad?

I took my son to see Warnies 700th wicket -'you probably wont see another like this in the rest of your life'. We should count our blessings and be grateful for small mercies - one of the greatest players ever never saw his footy team win the flag. RIP.

Fail, should have been till at least 2025.

I like my rock....bloody humid though and how did they go in the election? TBH no, after all it is a secret ballot. I am just trying to make the point that you or me sitting down, reading candidate statements etc, picking the best person for the job etc is a very minor part of the electoral process. Remember the old days when a 'sponsor' would buy 500 memberships, signup his staff and get voted onto the board? I still think it is all about connections and Roffey connects best with me.

R u serious? If you think that the Pres/Board will source a person to fill a casual vacancy and then not support them at the next election then I question your judgement, to put it mildly. I would say though that to be elected, regardless of your talents, you have to have the support of substantial elements (sponsors, coteries, past players assoc etc) of the club. If you can't beat them, join them.

I got an email.....

Is he tight? 🙂

Found mine

Tend to agree that the cost is dead money but sooner or later it has to be updated. And we do have $9 mill in cash. I dont think we would build our own voting platform just ask like one of the share registry's to conduct it.

You do not cover your self with glory with a statement like that, as you can never be proved wrong. If something did come out we will never know if it was what you are alluding too and if it stays quiet then it just hasnt come out yet. Just a tease really

I dont think so. It was on a Friday night and it only went one season.

Definitely. I think it was Chou En Lai, when asked of the success of the French Revolution said it was too early to tell*....so 6 months is way to early. Now going back to the 5 Year Rule, any success of the MFC cannot be attributed to eg G Pert because he did not join the club until um June 2018. Seems harsh so perhaps we should go on a proportional basis, and we rate him at 50%. The question is then who do we allocate the other 50% to. * Obviously misheard the French revolution for the Cultural Rev but the translators liked the quote so much they never corrected it.

Perhaps too well. Most of the items I want to purchase more of are no longer for sale at the demons shop so I will have to go to the AFL shop.

Now Lord Nev, the essential issue which this thread is trying to address is the worry that we are not capitalizing on winning the flag. Quoting a magnificent effort by the sponsorship department before we won the flag is not admissible. Very impressive though. Now if we go on the premise of the 5 year success rule, any success takes 5 years to fruition then we need to set some targets for um 2027 ( to prove we have capitalised on winning the flag) Obviously increase in Sponsorship and for me Substantial increase in Baby, Little and Young Demon memberships

It brings back a memory of a variety show on 7 during the late 60s? where each club did one show each. Started as cringe worthy vomit and evolved into a reasonable show (brought in professional singers, dancers, musicians with the players doing cameos/background).

I suppose it depends on what you define as minimal. Going from a projected loss to $2mill + profit is not minimal to me. The club did say that the cup had brought wealthy supporters out of the woodwork offering donations and they were directed to the Red and Blue foundation. Not sure where that sits on the books.

I was thinking Fire Water

Is this just a membership promotion?

For the first round I usually go with last years team until they stuff up. So the premiership side with Tomlinson/Smith for Petty (inj). Nothing startling there.

cat flu

Norf were terrible.
