Same, I just went back and checked as well. I didn't register my interest because I knew I wouldn't make a physical event. Maybe that's why I didn't get subsequent communications (if there were any)?

Hopefully the club sends out info about online attendance today.
I just registered my interest now.

If you've still got the email, then you can do it as well.

The AGM is on tonight.

Is anybody going? Unfortunately I can’t make it this year - which is a shame as I reckon this one could be very interesting.

What are your predictions? Will it be the usual perfunctory administrative affair? Or will there be fireworks? Or something else?

What questions would you ask?

——-

For those folks not familiar with the AGM (someone feel free to explain this better than me) ...

... but the “‘Annual General Meeting” is a legal requirement where the CEO / President / Board present to the voting members (Legends / Social Club members) details on the affairs of the organisation, and answer any questions. It tends to be more high level stuff like (in previous years) “Why is the club in the pokies business?” and “what is the club doing to prevent players taking recreation drugs?” It’s never about “why didn’t you move DeGoey forward in the last quarter of the round 6 game?” ... that’s what the member’s forum is for. There will be the usual member’s related questions (one memorable one was “In the club’s magazine, why are members listed in alphabetical order rather than years of membership???”).

The agenda will include ...

- Putting the minutes of the last AGM on the record
- Formal presentation of the annual (financial) report. (That’s available to view on the club’s website - it’s understandably bad due to Covid)
- A general commentary of the year gone by. (Expect lots of use of the word “challenging” because of Covid)
- Announcement of new board / office holders (next President perhaps?)
- Induction of Life Members (2010 Premiership players have been trickling through (Daisy tonight?) + retired 100 gamers + people who have been great service to the club)
- Questions from the audience (expect a lot on the topic of racism after yesterday’s bombshell)
- Ed will then conclude formal proceedings by singing the club song.
- Free open bar.

What a year to miss!
 
Honestly Dave, we all know you are not happy but give it a rest. How many negative posts have you done in the last few days? All you are doing is getting wound up.
Why shouldn’t he vent? Every right to.

I wont be tuning in. I just cant listen to his voice two days in a row. That press conference was enough for me. The man is a complete buffoon.

I stopped watching his tv show years ago Billionaire what ever.
But it goes further back than that,the the press red for Ed during a Collingwood game totally gutted me.
It was a display of not sure of the word.
 
Jmac, I agree he has every right to, just pointing out that he is just winding himself up more and more. He can keep doing it, just as I can post anything I like.

Mate, most people on here have been negative the past couple of days. Don't single Dave out.
 
What a s*** show our club is atm....Can’t wait for Graham Wright to start and the day our new president is announced....
Wright may be regretting his decision right about now!
 
Um, just dialled in, have we just given Dayne Beams a lifetime membership?
