PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
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.

GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs Sydney
Maysie or Kossie will toss.

Media Madness
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.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
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 Gawn shanks left - AGAIN
Max should kick from shorter distances with his left foot. All thoughts would be on making contact rather than accuracy.

PREGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
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.

So who is president of the footy department of the MFC? Both Battle and Barass don't have contracts?

Your paragraph is correct. The judge said it in court. he delivered the decision, Justice O’Callaghan indicated his “preliminary view” that it was “relatively clear” that each party should bear its own costs. Can I just point out that the above is not in the published judgement so I assume Justice O'Callaghan made some remarks in court. In terms of an independent review I am not sure how that can be achieved; if it is trully independent then neither of the current MFC or Deemocracy should be involved.

Yes Saty. In a previous post I said that given the current climate a review would be ideal. This has been strengthened by the report tonight that Kozzie is also unhappy If the review turns up nothing then there a double win. 1 The club is seen to be addressing concerns 2 Nothing to see here.

Your clutching at straws to make your point valid Saty. In old terms you are having a bob each way. I never mentioned reviews or a review in conjunction with elections. Actually after the court decision last week election issues are almost done with except for 1 issue.

Congratulations on both achievements.

I do get out of it Saty because until now I have never mentioned a review only about elections. Nor have I said there are any issues only that a panel could identify them is there were any. Your not on your game Saty.

Email from Peter Lawrence
I thought the idea of a review is identify whether it be internal or external and the departments to be included. Invite a panel to do the review. The panel to identify issues and offer recommendations The board and club to then decide on what recommendations to adopt. Sounds deal to me given the current climate.

The email, of course, was not sent to those under 18 years of age? Nor was it sent to those who are not financial.

OK, Saty. Look at our constitution. These people who you say are "elected unopposed" without the benefit of an election are in fact "deemed to be elected". Look it up or refer to the transcription of one of 15 AGM'S you have attended.

Email from Peter Lawrence
Sorry Saty, I don't get any of it. Seems your email or letter was received after the election that was never gazetted or held. You can't be elected without an election.
-
Email from Peter Lawrence
Saty, in your example and election was called and a date set for it. With the MFC for 10 or 12 years no election was called.

Email from Peter Lawrence
Elected means they were voted upon. No members voted. You can't get elected if no-one votes for you.

Email from Peter Lawrence
Sorry to disagree Saty but as there was no election held they were not elected at all. Those board members, Ms Roffey included, were selected not elected to the board. This has happened right up till this time where retiring board members are replaced early by the board and up until recently no election was held. Recently, with a number of nominations to handle the nominees are vetted by a panel of mainly board members. Of about 10 recent outsider nominations only 1 has been deemed suitable. All of the board nominees have been deemed suitable as you would expect. With the changes now made the vetting panel will be more independent.
