I think I might nominate this year

    We have a new board in place and despite the fact that we're supposed to be democratic, I think Jim's board has to be given time to turn things around. I suppose an election would also be costly in terms of money and time - two scarce resources at the club.

    Agree.

    It's not about being democratic, it's about following the rules set out in the MFC 'constitution'. Jim doesn't have a choice. He can't say 'We are not going to stand for re-election because we feel we deserve it', even if people would support him. Besides which, I can't think of any reason why the current board wouldn't be re-elected anyway.

    The election may take time and money, which is unwanted, but it has to happen.

    Yes. There hasn't been a suggestion yet, that an election 'should not ' happen. Jim and his board should be given more time. Ie/ Re-elected.

    What might assist in not having an election and saving the cost is for Jim to outline in response to his comment " much has been done" , what exactly has been done.

    That would allow potential board members to evaluate for themselves whether the board is achieving something and should be left unchallenged, at least for the current AGM.

    1/ Debt Demolition

    2/ Advancements on Casey project with Casey Council (ongoing)

    3/ New appointments

    4/ Whilst there are no announcements...behind the scenes work for sponsors

    ...to name a few.

    edit: -

    He was quoted as saying "we have achieved much in a short time", rather than "much has been done".

    Jim acknowledges in his email to members, "...however there is still plenty of work to do and we all look forward to taking on those challenges in 2009."

    This is what I got out of it..

    "If there are any additional nominations received for the Club’s Board, a postal ballot may be required".

    What's the problem?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
