Let's keep the facts straight. Lawrence asked for members' email addresses so he could send his electoral message out and the club refused to provide them. OK Lawrence said, you send my message out for me and the club again refused. So Lawrence took them to court and won.
Yes i know.
It still doesn’t impress me that my personal information can be given out to anyone. I don’t approve and will be a consideration before i renew my Membership

Not only allowable under corporations law, but that same information has been given by everyone who buys a membership..... to the AFL and anyone they choose to pass it on to....it's not private.
So there is another clause that needs changing…
the whole thing stinks and just adds more to our annus horriblous ‘24

I think at this point there are two factors in his silence.
The first would be that he is mulling over a trade request but doesn’t yet know if a club he wants to go to can satisfy us. So he can’t commit, nor can he say he wants out. So he says nothing.
The second would be his mental health. I suspect he is in a much worse place than most on here understand. Stepping out of the interview late last night can IMO be well explained by that. He isn’t anywhere near his normal self and that will be impacting his judgment, decision making and persona.
I think he could also be waiting to see what changes are made inside the Club

Unfortunately there was no other option. Despite numerous implorings from members, including at last years AGM, the Board would not engage, and so the only option is through the legal system.
Where they firstly had the legislative requirements of Corporations law shown to them in no uncertain manner, and then secondly withdrew their opposition to Peters amendments and changed the voting rules in 4 out of 5 situations prior to the judge deciding on the 5th.
I understand that George. But asking for Members private information was not on

Really?
It seems to me all he wanted was a reasonable chance to put forward a case to the voting members as to why he would be a better candidate.
He was not given that chance.
I don’t know the bloke, but it sure seems like all he asked for was a democratic election process.
I read the judgement and it sure seems like his requests were fair and reasonable.
You are probably right, but his modus operandum absolutely sucked

I wish what Geelong & hawthorn are doing today we could do to teams.
To think we just beat nth & lost 1 game to west coast is disgraceful
These are the type of questions we have to put to the Football Department.
It’s all work rate and run. Many of our players switch off far too oftenHawthorn could easily win Finals this year, and most of their team are no names

NB: We have heard from the CEO on radio last week and via a letter to the members.
It’s incredible how Media representatives don’t check simple things, before blabbing off
He’s right about Roffey though, i haven’t heard a single word out of her for over a year. No doubt she will be all over the AFLW…

I just hope the right decisions are made. We need new Coaches with strong ideas, we need to replace a high number of players, who then need to be a lot fitter in both mind and body than they were in 2024.
Our running and spread over a ground is what is killing us, opposition players are unguarded all over the ground, far too often this year.
Goodwin has to take some blame for the drop off, and needs to adapt more to yearly trends in the game.
A Huge offseason awaits the MFC, they better plan it well and get it right or we will be in serious trouble

Ditto, standing in the outer, one of favourite MFC matches, came from about 40 points down if I recall, Essendon had our measure until late 3rd qtr when Rhode went on to Michael Long who was destroying us. Rhode then completely shut down Long, last qtr momentum was like a tidal wave, Bennent and Ricky Jackson🔥. A magnificent day I’ll never forget.
If only we could have kept Bennett and Jakovich together for longer???
Most of the first 3 quarters we were down by 20-25 points, we weren’t being thrashed, but it certainly didn’t look like a win.
At the 20 minute mark of the Final Quarter we were 22 points down and came home, Ricky Jackson slotted one from the pocket near where i was, i think Sugar Healy kicked a beauty as well. -

You don't consider around the clock negative media representation that would almost certainly have negatively impacted the list management departments ability do attract players as a direct result of Christians decision to remain silent damage? I think you're giving him an out he doesn't deserve, he's a big boy, he's been through a lot but he has a team of professionals representing him and an element of this that you might not want to admit exists, is undoubtedly calculated, for what purpose? i don't know with certainty.
I don’t think it will change anything. Players have been signed up, there is no mass exodus
The Club needs to make changes, which i believe are happening right now
If the right money is offered I don’t believe players will not come to the MFC
Morris is the only one who should be concerned, his sources have fed him BS

Something he's very entitled to do, but this isn't the way to do it. the speculation will now continue until Trac is traded, or trade week ends if he doesn't speak, and personally, i suspect that's what he wants.
You cannot say it’s right or wrong, because we are not privvy to what is going on internally.
Tracc may have been speaking to people about it for months, i certainly heard about it 12 months ago, not specific details, but i was made aware that all was not good.
This story will be fish and chip wrapper very soon, no damage was done. It gave cheap journos a few days work -

I reckon Trac would have said something pretty quickly if the same level of negative press was being associated with the CP5 online brand he's building as is the MFC by virtue of his silence.
His management could shut this down in 5 seconds flat if Trac wanted it, he wouldn't even have to speak himself, he's making an ongoing choice not to do so.
Maybe so, we have no idea what the reasons are. I think last years offseason has a lot to do with it, but that is only my opinion. As i said last week, he has basically told the Club to get its act together, which I think is a positive

Kate Roffey
in Melbourne Demons
Well aware of things like this DP. I have digital bank accounts that do the same type of job (disposable one use cards) for online use. It’s more the principle
Data breaches are becoming far too common
I wouldn’t ask for 70,000 emails and addresses, that’s where i would stop, but others would do it because they can…
