Can never have too many Smiths. Kim and Stephen???

Yeah, I noticed the double grabs as well. Hard to maintain balance with Doull, Southby and Perovic rolling onto you.

Of course there's always the possibility that Smith is duplicitous.

Could someone please change this thread's title to 'Bombers CONTINUE to implode'? Tail definitely wagging the dog down there at Windy Hill.

Look MaH . . . you wanna start bringing in evidence and rationality to discussions, you'll receive the wooden spoon here on 'Land.

QD arrives home from work . . . a bit irritable and somewhat knackered, Turns on Demonland for a bit of escapism and sees the 'Hot' sticker next to the BB thread together with four new pages, Gets really excited, thinks there must be a serious advancement and possibly an in principle agreement from the Brown camp, Excitement reaches fever-pitch as the thread is activated . . . F*&k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Curious . . . who are they?

Look, I'm all for a more compassionate, caring and respectful community . . . but you've gotta draw the line somewhere . . . What about umpires, Armagedon, Filth (and by extension Joffa, Didak and Eddie), Hayden Ballantyne, Duckwood, the AFL and Milne . . . surely this post doesn't apply to them?

He looked sh*thous% didn't he?

appalling wasn't it?

Completely relate JD . . . although my emptiness is driven by the realisation, almost every year, that we are miles away from the standard required to win premierships.

In the Hun ah?

Yes, great point deanox. I remember coming across research, probably over 20 years ago, that seemed to indicate for-profit companies with rank and file workers on their boards out performed their peers by a substantial margin. Maybe a position or two, on a 12-month rotational basis, should be created and reserved on the MFC board for 'supporters in the stands'.

At the global level, the ‘board model’, as we understand it, is completely broken. Corporate governance is in a shambles no matter what country or sector we look at. Failures pervade all sectors of the media on a daily basis. In Australia, for profit, not-for-profit, government and non-government entities are mired in muck at a governance level. There are many reasons for this - far too many to canvas in this forum. The MFC has not been immune to this phenomena in the past, and is highly unlikely to be so in the future. It’s not the fault necessarily of one particular individual, or even a group of individuals. It is the fault of a mechanism that is completely out of step with the times. So, with respect to the MFC board appointees announced yesterday . . . good luck to you. You’re going to need it.

Bont?

We've had a few Bro. Wizzzzzzzzzzzz, Lyon, Bennnnnnnnnnnnnett, Robbooooooo, both Jakkkkkkkkkka and Jackooooooooo, Healy, Brewer, Parke, Smith (Norm) Freddieeeeeee, Margitich and Johnoooooooo (Bob).

WTF is going on with this thread? Come on 'Land this afternoon and read pages 42 and 43 to catch up with the BB news and what do I get? Sane, rational, respectful conversation. Back to Fox News After Dark for me.

Norff would be interested in anyone even marginally capable of running out on any sort of a footy oval ATM.

Just my opinion OD . . . Sometimes one doesn't have to dig too deep for the answers or engage in conspiracy theories . . . . . . how's this for a response? Norff are run by complete morons ATM. Checkout their Board and the holders of senior administration and coaching positions. Very little hardcore footy 'clubland' knowledge or coaching experience. The appointment of Shaw in the first place was a completely bizarre and flawed decision. Letting Scott go without any sought of plan b . . . WTF? Archer runs the show down there and hasn't a clue quite frankly. Same problem exists at Crows.

Comrade Khrushchev goes to a pig farm and he is photographed there. In the village newspaper office, there was a heated discussion about how to caption the photograph. “Pigs and Comrade Khrushchev”? “Comrade Khrushchev Among Pigs”? None will do. The editor finally makes a decision: “Third From Left: Comrade Khrushchev.”

Everyone relax . . . we got 23 games out of James Sellar.

We are all very resentful that: Geelong hasn't shot both its feet off like we have in the last 10 years, Richmond, a basket case for 37 years, started getting its act together 10 years ago, and Collingwood, with three less premierships than us in 65 years, has somehow remained a power club of the comp?

The AFL . . . . . what can you say? Three awards to three players who were not the best in their respective categories.

I suspect our bloke does . . . that's why we are where we are!

As we are all going to be based in QLD for the next 2-3 years, he can come to us and still be at a QLD based club.
