Unfortunately there was no other option. Despite numerous implorings from members, including at last years AGM, the Board would not engage, and so the only option is through the legal system. Where they firstly had the legislative requirements of Corporations law shown to them in no uncertain manner, and then secondly withdrew their opposition to Peters amendments and changed the voting rules in 4 out of 5 situations prior to the judge deciding on the 5th.

Wrong. AAMI was instituted by the Stynes board. Cranbourne by Stynes/McLarty. It is the current boards inaction for the past 10 years that has been the problem.

CASEY: Rd 21 vs Gold Coast Suns
N. Moyle, Lukosious, Sexton, Oea, Rosas & Fiorini would all get a run in the Melbourne 1sts at the moment!!! And people keep saying we should drop player x or y from the seniors.....and replace them with what we saw today at Casey???

Training Ground?
30 years!!! The current mob have had 10years.

Luke Parker open to move
Parker is finished, so is Dusty, so is Hawkins. He can't get a game at Sydney because he can't run any more, like Dusty, like Hawkins.

She has been on the facilities committee for 10 years and we have no trading base still.

Rebuild Time WERRIDEE Style
Exactlyā¦..we donāt have both trade and draft currency needed to get top quality. The players who have value wonāt be considered by club or supporters. we have 1 pick in the next draft at about pick 9. Our next pick is 38.!!! One decent pick wonāt change anything as West Coast have found this year. And trading next years future first may see us trading away a top 4 pick the way we are going.

Oliver Trade Rumours
Exactly.....and who would people suggest we bring in as a mid from Casey to replace an 80% fit Oliver? It's the same reason an 80% fit Petty was being played......they are better in that state than any alternative we might have.

What they are saying at Windy Hill
A couple from Bomberblitz: "Dumb players,Dumb game plan, Dumb selections, Dumb coaching, Iām dumb too for going to the game tonight, Tonight was pure 100% Essington" "This is called āregression to the mean" "I honestly believe this season is as good as weāll ever be for a while yet" "Donāt wanna hear anything from this club about fighting it out kicking last 4. Your first 100 mins utterly deplorable" and the best one: "the mummified corpse of mark jamar wouldāve offered more than draper"

Standard of Umpiring
And if any further proof was needed.....Geelong were absolutely gifted 4 goals from the umpires in the 2nd and 3rd quarters in the game against Essendon. Worst was the call of deliberate crossing the goal line by an Essendon player when there were two, yes two Geelong players inside the goal square at the same time.

Are we witnessing a re-build by stealth
...and as well who are the young up and coming who are going to replace Gawn, May, Viney in the coming 2 years? There are none, and we don't have the draft picks to get them this year.

The No T$ No B$ Thread
I don't think the appreciators ( is that a word?) of banana delicacies in this thread, had noticed a certain lady had thrown a BANANA milkshake at Nigel Farage last week. Only Fans model reveals she spent 8 HOURS in a police cell after throwing McDonald's banana milkshake over Nigel Farage | The Sun Is this sacrilege @Redleg? Or is it because McDonalds can't do a banana milkshake properly? It also appears from her social media photos she may be a Demon supporter?

Training Ground?
The real concern for us is once what is written in Blueys note: "Feasibility study will be finished in July. A business case to be finished by January. This is then to be submitted to government for grant in 2025 budget. The grant will only be for the mfc facilities. Not funding other parts of the pubic reserve" So no construction will commence until 2026! Our current Board had end of 2023 as the start date in the previous business plan. Why do we need a business case to be completed 6 months AFTER the feasibility study?. It should be done now and be ready now.

CASEY: Rd 10 vs Coburg
Coburg kicked 6 goals in the 2nd quarter when Fullerton was ā ruckingā. At least They only got one when Verrall was doing the job.!!!

AMW!
For those who want AMW to play seniors....tell me who he replaces? Lots of stats with meaningless kick outs or kicks sideways at Casey. Just doesn't generate drive from the backline which is needed at senior level. Is he going to replace Bowey, McVee, Howes, Salem, Rivers...No. Is he ahead of Tholstrup, Laurie, Woewodin, Billings, Hunter...No

Whispering in the Umpires Ears
So keep the question and concerns about what is going onā¦ā¦.simplyā¦.why do they need to be miked? ā¦ā¦ When feedback, like with coaches can be done at end of quarters?
-
Whispering in the Umpires Ears
So why do it? This only re-inforces suspicions that supporters hold, like "evening up the frees" . Or as has been suggested, it is using the contact to provide positive feedback....not needed if the decision is correct in the first place. Just makes light of the "howlers", and continues further bad calls if the umpire is told he was right. Any feedback can be relayed at breaks in the game.

Changes to āHolding the Ballā Rule
Good thing. It will means players will dispose of the ball, instead of ātaking the tackleā
