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?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbnae

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
