A candidate is asked to submit up to 500 words to support their candidacy for election to the board. Strict rules apply to the wording. It is then vetted by the MFC and included in the notification to members of an election. This is the only electioneering permitted. Breach of this rule may result in your candidacy being withdrawn...as I understand it. I have no knowledge of how other clubs run their elections.

Board candidates are forbidden to engage in such activities.

Well the future has arrived and we are 5 and 11, with two 5 match losing streaks (High Peformance?). Our membership base is down 8000 on last year (member Engagement?). Did these two comittees ever get formed? What have they done? Do we wait for next years annual report to advise us what they did?

Just wondering why Melksham was cramping as early as the third quarter and into the last quarter. Particularly this late in the season against GC. Did his season start late?

We could put our $30m on the favourite the next at Caulfield.

Speaking of stats I can remember only one HTB all game. Against Viney plus 50 metres and subsequent goal. It paid not to try and move the ball on.

Agree, particularly Fullarton, he is loathe to commit to body contact.

It beats me to this day how a thug and coward like Matthews, who was de-registered as a player, can be regarded by many as an icon of out game.

Maysie or Kossie will toss.

I am not sure that Brad Green intentionally changed the direction of the media or not but on Classified last night Hird went at Green and Clarry was all but forgotten. McGuire went at the club for not embracing the journalist Joel Kennedy. A shame on Hird's part as he knows what it is like to have "issues". What a footy show it is. Rory Sloane may not even be there because as goes to speak either McGuire or Hird shut him down. This unfounded media sensationalism has to stop before someone is hurt.

I think Tom Campbell will play replacing Fullarton. I also think Tom will share more of the ruckwork with Max than perhaps Fullarton did.

Max should kick from shorter distances with his left foot. All thoughts would be on making contact rather than accuracy.

Long kicks from Viney? During practice matches Viney seemed to find team mates with his kicks but not now. A fair percentage of Viney's kicks are smothered and he seems to lack the awareness that it will happen. A favourite player of mine for his tenacity but he doesn't seem to have any peripheral vision and does not sidestep to avoid tackles. It is "get ball, kick ball' and it is usually up and under thus giving team mates a task.

Carlton guns have silver butts.

2 by no 11 should help this week.
