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.

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!

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.

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 ...

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

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.

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.

I suspect I worked out the type of person or persons who did it

They did not open the Laundry Cupboard (Cleaning must scare them)

They left the wine behind but took my Scotch.

They stole my Fog Machine but left the stuff that makes it work behind.

They taken my camera but left the required charger.

They taken my money but left the 5 cent pieces behind.

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

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
