That's what the agm is for. Sheesh. I'd give the members nothing on investment strategy. Based on the questions at the agm there was pretty much none I would trust in decision making or even investment opinions. It's the process and risk management that's important for us Dee's. Let the Board and subcommittee do their job.

"We aren't great at any phase of the game"
Demon17 replied to The Taciturn Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
At the AGM in his interview on stage -
Read the accounts and get back to me. For example Future Fund returned 13% last FY

Great point. I attended and first half covering the clubs business position was excellent insight. The audit report and summary of accounts worth watching just to see how strong the club is compared to most others despite not having 110k members. Parts summary of caulfield worked well. Poor Brad Green was nervous but showed passion which as great to see. Election results were overwhelming in Boards favour. Peter Ryan of the age struggled to get a headline and moved into hack status for mine. I left at the q and a with members asking questions who shouldn't have been allowed near a microphone. Shockers. Steven Smith was present in an understated way. Classy . As was printer believe it or not Good night

I'm not overly concerned about the mt scopus plan de-railing the MFC. It won't given ovals are crown land. mainly and there solid land tenure rights and obligations for lessee and lessor under the Crwon Land resreves ACt, unless the MRC Trust has its own Act. But what an interesting AGM it will be next week - maybe?

I like your style. Each season there are approx 3 drop outs from the 8 and 3 new finalists. (2.75 is the actual average) The Dees will be one making the 8 in 2025 for sure. The other two not so sure. My view is based on the revitalisation going on, maximum pre seasons for the list, injury position now, A Graders back on deck in excellent shape, MAx and Jack as our leaders, JT's recruitment performance in November, resolution of 2024 issues, the media will find another few patsies to hound for the year instead of Goody et al, ...........................

Saty can't have been serious. If so then that's scary.

Good call. EArlier in this thread someone discussed the poor pay at AFL for I.t. roles. Afl generally pays poorly unless your Gil and SMT. But their biggest current concern is lack of junior members and attendees and don't have a solution. Might explain a few things re this topic. Night games and midweek don't help but general young fan engagement is sliding due to lack of interest. Hawks might be onto something

Many thanks. I was just worried about another Marvel game but I guess it would still be at the G possibly.
-
Does that mean being a bomber home game we play them if again on the G as our home game? AND I still reckon the whole gather concept is a crock dreamt up by Virgin Airlines business development people. Dillon naturally fell for it When the outrageous price gouging stops I'll believe otherwise

Apologies to all well meaning Demonlanders. You know who you are (vast majority) I simply started this thread as a well deserved salute to Brad Green our new Chair. We all know why. But gee I and others have been trolled for who knows what by who knows. But my objective remains and looking forward greatly to the agm Go Dees Again. Sincere apologies.
-
Not sure what Board experience you have but can you re-write your response so its understandable. Can I suggest punctuation. Its works great. And stay away from preparing any meeting minutes and resolutions. Thanks
-
So you've never sat around a serious Board table or understand good governance? Some demonlanders drive me spare. Given the remaining Board is largely unchanged Brad can take credit as change agent for sure
-
Brad has never led a major business/organistion and may be wondering (or have wondered) "...what do I know about chairing a footy club - or anything else..?" Rest assured Brad your'e doing just fine and are a credit to yourself and your playing reputation. Lucky to have him as one of us.

Spot on. The process and announcements this week have been first class re: Board, etc. You can't expect any dirty laundry from the Reviews to be public. It's the outcomes that count. Smith as future Chair, Troy Chaplin's forward connection role . Basset on board with strong coaching credentials. Sam Radford - ex casey and a schoolteacher. Does this mean some midfield focus on development for younger players? Everyone trumpets McRae and Fagan are good coaches as ex-teachers . David Parkin another. Thoughts anyone? I don't know Radford and would appreciate any insights.
-
Good move re caulfield. Such a big job to get the deal then the build - the club would need to employ a project consultant anyway to lead delivery anyway. May as well be Gary. Not the ceo's role
-
And I hate to admit but maynard was clearly shepherded under the ball and should have received a match saving free. Pert as ceo at the time

Nathan Jones joins MFC as an Assistant Coach
Demon17 replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
I'm quietly hoping Daisy finishes her contract at the Eagles then goes all in for a senior role with the Dee's. I could live with head coach. -
Decent letter from Brad Green just hit my inbox. Steven Smith confirmed he's running for the Board and Brad sees Smith then becoming Chair end of 2025. Will be good to see Brad give it a 12 month run for himself
-
I wonder if person has a case for unsafe culture at the giants post breakup party and demands a contract release?
-
Exactly. I heard his interview on SEN with maher and gaze. He's admitted to lying to his team mates and fans and seemed smug about it -"..how clever am I fooling everyone..." Admittedly lying is the AFL official language, Very ordinary character and didn't answer the difficult questions on Port or his own decisions. Will fit in with the Pies nicely.
-
It was fascinating that the Chair took on the media in an emphatic fashion last/this week, rather than the CEO. Did Brad say - "..Iv'e got this Perty.." ? I bet he did. Great sign.
-
Excellent post. And I'm relying on Trac returing in mint condition and setting such an example to everyone to "..follow me.." that as you say bring on 2025. I think Trac will step up this aspect. Lots of confidence in him seeing the Austrian pics.
