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?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
