well with neeld at the helm it is all up to Flash now.... there will be no charity

shyte happens....i guess

yep. Problem?

Maybe, but it depends. Green may have indicated he would prefer to focus on his footy and didn't want to be in the glare of leadership. I dunno. Moloney is a bit harder to figure out I worry a little how Aaron will take it Seems all those dropped were all captain or co-vice-captains. Maybe a clean slate was seen as more harmonious I don't think we will ever get the true non-spin picture I hope the coaches sat down with all those dropped from the LG/©/(VC) and sorted it out amicably

There's nothing stopping these guys being leaders on the field (and off). You don't have to be in the LG

Maybe they felt they had to have a least one fwd in the LG and they saw him as the best fit. Howe and Watts may be future leaders in the fwd group?

Jack, the problem is that this (186) is now history and I dare say that no-one knows all of what happened and why, or all the 'facts'. I'm sure though there would be no end of people claiming to know all. This issue would be full of many grey areas, emotions and speculations. There would be no black and white answers, just interpretations. That's the interesting thing about History, everyone has their own version or interpretation. Just ask David Irving. The important thing now is as you said that it brought things to a head and resulted in a massive amount of change. We will just have to trust that the current administration have made the right choices and give it enough time before a future judgement Again as you said, poring over the entrails would achieve nothing and risk much, as the club has 'acted and moved-on' dramatically from 186 I'm optimistic that it was all for the better and I have tucked away any lingering doubts over already spilt milk

Jack high !

Sounds like voldemort is getting lots of opportunity to "check out the facilities" Quote "... with the new club forced to train at six different venues"

Yes, but I expect that distinction will go over certain posters heads Its interesting that those who want the hard questions asked/discussed didn't appear to have attended Lets all move on. We know mistakes were made, we know there have been huge restructuring changes (which most seem to approve of) Only time now will tell whether we are back on track. Picking at scabs will achieve nothing but a distraction

Well to a certain extent the lack of discussion of unpleasant topics is also an indictment on the attendees of the AGM. Nothing was stopping them from asking the hard questions. They were perfectly entitled to do so, but they either weren't fussed or squibbed it. That is not to say they would have received extensive or adequate answers but at least it would be on record for all to see There is always two sides to the coin It would seem the members who attended weren't that fussed (except for one guy re issues of "culture")

#8 "Jesus Voldemort what the fcuk happened to your head" #9 "When Dipper said he wanted to play "Cowboys & Indians" I didn't realise he was going to try and scalp me" #8 "You were lucky he didn't suggest "Doctors & Nurses" or he would probably have torn you a new one"

apparently sheedy wanted to make sure there was no mfc feeling there.....but they couldn't find any.....didn't find anything else either

was there a Q&A session? Any interesting questions?

"Gee, I don't feel any different after that lobotomy"

come, come, lutzy......you don't shock that easy....do you?

thanks for the updates jack.....appreciated

so, looks like no new sponsor.....buggar

I suspect young voldermort has a touch of asperges syndrome, certainly reads as a good fit

enjoy your trip to brisbane and i look forward to your insights whenever you have time

take a big notebook OD, I will be expecting an extensive report later tonight go dees

Leave Jaded out of this

having locker room threads will just make it too easy for all those crap journos trolling our board for sensational stories LOL

LOL more like getting 3 old dee!

i don't think it had much impact on congestion. In fact it may have increased it as more players are able to get to the ball because of interchanging for "fresher" players the number of stoppage stats are unreliable because a lot of it depends on how long the umpire lets it go. They certainly let it it go a lot longer than the old days as far as a spark in the last Q goes, this is still possible without interchanging excessiveness. anyone who watched the game pre interchange can attest to that. i'd be happy if they just limited interchanges to say 15-20 a Q. they would become more interesting and strategic then instead of this constant ugly flood of player on and off the field just my 2c worth
