He de mon

I reckon the opening two 2.5 minutes of Electravision Mantra would be great. And they were an Aussie band. RIP Damo,

My money is in Kynan to take Nibs role next year.

I felt burnt by Trac, but every time I dwell on it I remind myself that for my 50 odd years supporting the Dee's I have wished we had a superstar onballer. We now have two (three if you count Max), and that is a generational thing. Go Trac. Go Clayton. Go Dee's!

What picks did we have to match the bid on Riak? I thought pick 75 was worth 0 points?

I remember reading somewhere that all clubs use Ticketmaster for their membership. If that is true, then I suspect it is an AFL thing rather than the clubs choice.

How did you survive the Neeld years?

Be that as it may, I find it hard to believe Green would hose down the rumours if there was truth to them. The criticism of the club’s messaging, often justified, would go into overdrive if it does turn out to be true.

Like Carlton or Essendon? That seems to have worked out so well for them. A ruthless club would have sacked him after 2019.

I wonder if the “leaker” is actually a Demonlander attempting to keep the trade threads interesting.

You just responded.

What was the big fail of 2017? We improved our ladder position and win/loss position from 2016, and even then our list was never going to make us finals.

The sacrificial Lamb in every sense. Gotta feel for him having to stump up for that.

The chocolate general.

And there it is.

That was the bit that made me think maybe the all the talk about is terrible culture is BS, as Ben Brown doesn't strike me as the sort of guy would want to stay if he thought our culture sucked.

At least they didn’t have the internet back then. Can you imagine?

I didn’t say that at all. This was my takeaway The judge found that the MFC’s election rules were reasonable and made in good faith. The Court agreed that the Board’s actions were aimed at ensuring fairness in the elections, preventing any one candidate from having an unfair advantage, and protecting the Club’s reputation

This is a good unbiased analysis of the judgement. https://associations.net.au/news/sector-news/2024/fair-or-oppressive-federal-court-rules-on-melbourne-football-club-board-conduct-and-bylaws.html

I am suggesting that we haven’t heard the other side of the story.

My bad. Not sure what happened there

I have been fairly ambivalent about changes to the board, and I am still not convinced they have made the best decisions for the club. What I will say is your obvious attempts at swaying opinion on here has crystallised my opposition to Lawrence joining the board.

Was Pert refusing a donation part of the court transcripts?

The problem is that we are only getting one side of the story. H2D might be right, but he is saying stuff that no one can challenge. These are his version of events. I’m all for accountability, but if you are going to throw mud you can at least be transparent about your agenda H2D.
