Raymond Ellis

[footyman]

Its a pity "After The Game" isn't around at the moment because he would win the "Tool of the Week" by a mile.

His effort at the members information night/AGM was a disgrace. Fair enough he copped some abuse, but his responses only provoked members. Sarcasm and sympathy stories don't go down too well with most of us. Not to mention he thinks the club does not want members who sign up six weeks into the season. A club like Melbourne should take all the members they can get.

He is a businessman, not a football club CEO, and he should shut his mouth about football topics. And Bev O'Connor should learn to do something with possession herself rather than handballing questions across to other people.

Thought the highlight was when Ellis said he tells the truth and the room laughed at him. A poor reflection on how he's perceived by members I reckon. Of course, he was the one who promised we'd make a profit this year.

He certainly put his foot in it a hell of alot! In fact he's been doing it all year. Mind you he hasn't been the only dishonest one at the MFC this season. The club were sneaky in hiding the debt but they were trying to attract a new sponsor & we have to cop that one on the chin.

His reactions to some of the questions were very telling. I had to laugh at one stage when O'Connor was asked a question, she stuttered & stumbled & said "Well that was before I arrived" & hanballed it to Ray whose been there even less time!

The footy department presentation was very good & ND answered everything honestly.

The board were less impressive, the members are still in doubt about these blokes. Kopke & his supporters can't complain either, he looked even less convincing.
