He de mon

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.

i didn't get an email? When was this?

Don Williams 5.10 3/4 😄 Everyone else rounded to a half inch, but not Don. They were a lot smaller in those days.

I am having the same issue with the loop thing. Did you end up getting it to work?

Genuine question. How would you characterise it?

I am curious to know what your association is to the Lawrence ticket? You bleat about transparency and yet you remain silent when asked reasonable questions about your involvement. It isn’t a difficult question to answer.

I find the negativity about this bizarre. We finally have some concrete plans, and things appear to be moving in the right direction. I am not a fan of Caulfield, but if that is the position the clubs takes then I will embrace it. Just give us a home already. Notably the Lawrence fans are still not happy. Can’t campaign on that one anymore hey?

Sure it was an abnormal season. For every single club. The fact is we adapted better than most of the others. What advantage did we have over other clubs in 2021?

I support a review of the board, and the club in general. I may have even been receptive to Deemocracy's ideas, but the actions of Lawrence and his proxies on DL has cemented my belief that he has no interest in what is best for our club.

Agree. Grifters gonna grift.
