I wonder if Weideman will get a chance to play forward. Seems unfair to play him out of position all pre season and judge him on that. I guess we don't have too many other ootions

Weid really enjoyed it, I asked,  19 touches and all over the ground, could be the making of him

Shannon Byrnes works in player welfare along with Matty Whelan

@Sir Why You Little  produced in house, if it was commercially produced we would have a sham marriage, whilst renovating a kitchen, then cooking a meal on an island, I asked, Gary Pert very proud of it

Johnny is giving the boys 'battle' training, he gets them to do [censored] I did 40 odd  years ago

He has one drill wherr the players have to forward or backward roll 4 times, then jump up and tackle a player

I suggested he tries what we did which was rolls and then hit a post, in sand, wrapped around with sandbags, you had to make the post move, or you had to do it again

He was all for it, but the spoilsport Ben Mathews said no ???

This Sunday 23 February between 12pm - 2pm.

Yet another significant event for the club totally lacking in promotion. The family day was first publicised by email on 19 December and there has been nothing of note since. If the club want to sell memberships and merchandise on the day they should have been promoting it on a weekly basis.

Generally an excellent day if there aren't too many in attendance and the players are very good with the kids these days.

Hi hum, your social media semaphore or smoke signal based?

See the post from @old dee  and reread a couple of times

Then you need to improve on your envelope licking, as you missed mine and numerous others 

I work in an industry that still utilises mail, we have RTS coz the postman put in wrong box, address had a slight error in the database etc etv also it was stolen from the letterbox 

The point some other posters are trying to point out is even if there is a slight error in anything the club does, the usual suspects are immediately in the topic hammering the club

Infallibility must be a wonderful thing

well then OD inject some reality into the club’s talk of a new admin/training hub within walking distance of the Gee. Where is that going to be? The mind boggles, there aren’t too many options I can think of especially with the Jolimont NIMBY’s so active in the area. 

There is still the parcel of land next to Goschs, they may build there and upgrade Goschs a touch

I have heard all this for the last 40 odd years about every board and CEO by disgruntled supporters who think they know better. I am not saying improvement is not required off field as it most certainly is, as any major sporting club is to keep afloat.

Well put, so have I, hands up if you can do a better job and why haven't you

But, but, but

Saty I guarantee you my details are correct in the system, I got the PR stuff this morning.

A serious question. Has the club ever made a mistake In your opinion?

Of course the club has made mistakes but the sheer pettiness of some of the posts on here astounds/amuses me, it's just the AGM, information provided post event

Australia Post is appalling, if you have a registered email with the club, you would not receive the notification by post

I can guarantee you this member did not get proxy forms by snail mail or email at any time prior to this AGM. 

Then blame Australia Post or details in database not being up to date or incorrect

Out of touch with the common supporter; out of touch with the people on the ground; out of touch with reality...

Growth and sustained success don’t just happen as a byproduct of winning matches. You need to invest time and resources ahead of time so that you can capitalise on the on-field successes.

There is a startling gap in the club’s thinking where there should be detailed strategies and tactics to convert success to increased membership and revenue.

What a load of twaddle

All of the above was outlined at the meeting last night

It is now available to read or watch  if you can make the effort of course, you could always ask Pert to come around to your house and do a one on one

There was no proxy form sent.

The rest of your post is playing the man.

Then I must have spent two afternoons putting blank pieces of paper into envelopes

Was there a board election CBD?

Yes one board member re elected

Yes.

Or at the least certainly not encouraged. I mean they post a notice on the MFC site 6 December and that's it? You have to be kidding.What sort of message does that send?

If asked why they will no doubt talk about the members forum. But i didn't go t that as i wanted to go to the AGM and ask the board via the chairperson and CEO a question related to off filed performance not on filed stuff which i knew would be the focus of the members forum.  

Sure i could have checked when it was but i had fully expected it would be promoted (and then flagged on here). It has in previous years.

I am not happy and will write to the club to express my frustration.

 

I went, I had it synced on my phone, my home computer and my work computer, so I got three reminders yesterday, all from the email in December, not bad for a 68 yr old

Also had it on the fridge

Which question do you want answered?

41 minutes ago, binman said:

What was the response?

That most questions had been answered at the members forum, and the answers had been circulated via various means

I thought it was an ankle. So much for our crack team of Demonland Trackwatchers.

That's a bit harsh, he did roll his ankle, didn't look anything which turns out correct , seen  Tommy Mc do this including removing strapping a couple of times,  managed

And me and @Baghdad Bob starring in latest Hell  n Back video as well

Sorry at work today, have to do it sometime

I had a chat to Vanders last week, there was no worry from him about reoccurrence of foot issues. Just annoyed he got involved with the fence

Being Vanders he was chasing an opponent

Hats off to Buckley in agreeing an inter-club training game.  Brilliant.

Pity our club didn't have the brains and balls to suggest or agree to the request.

A joke that AFL neighbours don't utilise the resource of opposition tune-up.

Again, the club doesn't lead the comp.

There is going to be a scratch match next week sometime, just not advertised, so whine away

Nah, It's just a form of masochism, that is given oxygen on here

Just the normal miseries posting, I read it for the sheer comedy

They get the soccer balls out now and again

Spargo is actually quite good, Salem thinks he is and of course Oliver is

How’s the Riv been tracking? Does he look as though he’s a chance for round 1?

I can see why Jason Taylor was anxious on draft night 2, just looks classy, may be a bit early, earn his spot at Casey 

Beautiful kick

That is Burgess in the background

Oh no bad news for the Omac detractors

The 30 yr old can still get airborne

Not much wrong with Melky's hammys from this

Mitch is still recovering from the knee injury from last year I think. 

Hannan's knees are fine, it was groin related, he is nearly back in main group

I reckon Brown would have a crack in the ruck as well, if it got him a game

So Tmac, what's the latest track watchers>? Is he hobbling? Iced ankles?

 

No, he walked back to AAMI with no discomfort
