And so another AGM is upon us.

I will troop off tonight with great hope as usual.

With a new President, CEO, CFO, Umpteen new Board members and Coach it should at least have some fresh faces.

Should be good to see the differences from a year ago.

Sadly it was at last year's AGM I walked away thinking " Neeld has no idea"

Seriously doubt that will happen this year.

Perhaps next year I can attend with the feeling we are on an upward trend.

As long as Howcroft is not near a microphone it will be an improvement.

Lets be honest, these are spin nights and the aim is to make the attendees go home with some feeling of optimism for the season ahead.

I total agree with that statement.

Must have been kids

As they appear to have only taken my Xbox, Laptop, Camera,Tablet and Fog Machine

Could have taken much more.

Last week the house across the road was also do over.

I had my car broken into as well many years ago when I was a poor Uni Student, the sods had taken my tunes.

So not much then!

 

So not much then!

Find a few things more as I look around like over $100 cash but in the scheme of thing not that much.

2 x TV, Decktop PC, digital projector and sound systems are still here.

Mind you this is not my main place and its just a rental though work so I don't have much here.

Now comes the worst part.

Replacement!

I hate having re install programs and data etc.

Sorry but I am glad it is you and not me DF.


Great!

Come in to my week day place and find it been ransacked!

Sorry to hear it, DF. Hope the losses are not too great ...

LOL

Where that I will take it for the team attitude?

Well the Laptop was what I used the most but after a few issue awhile back it was not loaded with a lot. I have a number of laptops I could use in the short term but they not as powerful.

I had not used the Xbox 360 in awhile but have a second unit at home.

So really it just dealing with my insurance company, if I decide to make a claim.

The real issue is they may come back and try to get the rest of my stuff.

A few years ago, someone jemmied off our back door, and took only the laptop that was nearby. Must have been in and out in a few seconds. The police told us that there had been a spate of similar robberies in the area, with implication being that they were only looking for things easily found and carried, not the things of most value. I guess, strange though it may sound, it is also true that you can be thankful that you weren't there when it happened ...

Thanks BB

These things are never nice to deal with.

My first time dealing with a house break in.

Just have to wait over 2 hours for the Police to come on duty.

LOL

Did you have an alarm? If not, installing one may give you peace of mind, if nothing else ...

I have a neighbor who had their house broken into twice two months apart.

On second visit the police said it was not unusual they wait for you to replace your goods then come back for the new ones.

The first time they took most of the Wife's clothes the next time the Husband's

It does not help DF but you are not alone

I don't have that much faith in the Police after a incident about seven or eight years ago.

I found the work car and my two private cars had be covered in paint remover. I told the investigating Police Officer who I suspected it was and he never recorded the name or interviews the person. The ex Police who told me this as he had access to the Polices database said he was surprised no investigation took place.

Then was an incident in my property where some threatened to cut my head off but the police refused to come and provide assistance.

I have a very low opinion of the Police as a result. But that not to say there are not very good Policeman out there, I just have not meet them yet.

My house has an alarm and CCTV.

But this place is a rental from a neighboring Shire (their CEO's house) so capital purchase of that nature are not worth it. Mind you the two Councils have decided last week to merge so maybe I can talk them into installing one.

Really!

Corio is a "Working class" suburb, adjacent to and incorporating industrial estates - with 21.3% of its employed residents of age 15 years and over nominating 'Labourer' as their chosen occupation (compared to 10.5% in the whole of Australia). Numbers occupied as Technicians, Trades Workers, Machinery Operators, and Drivers are also higher than the national average. According to the 2006 census, the largest employer type was "Motor Vehicle" and "Motor Vehicle Part Manufacturing". As such, the planned 2016 closure of the Ford plant, a long-term employer, will reduce employment opportunities in the future.[5] In 2013, 2.3% of mortgages in Corio had become delinquent, up from 1.5% in September 2012, and is amongst the highest numbers of all suburbs in Victoria. Reports have attributed this rate to job cuts at Alcoa, Ford, and Target that year.[6] Historically speaking, Ford Motor Company[7] had its plant in full production by August 1926, producing 36,000 T-models over the next two years of work. During World War II, Ford manufactured military vehicles and all manner of craft & weaponry. It then concentrated its post-war goals on engine manufacturing for the Ford Falcon model (produced at Broadmeadows).

Also according to the 2006 census,[8] 5,969 residents age 15 years and over were employed: 52.7% were employed full-time, 28.6% part-time, 3.6% were employed but away from work, 3.4% were employed but did not state the number of hours worked; and 11.7% were fully unemployed. There were 4,877 local residents age 15 years and over who were not in the labour force.

You guys must be very poor in Victoria then unlike us very rich sandgropers.

LOL

Too much sun the last couple of weeks jazza?

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
