And we both forgot to mention -one of CS's favourite words- transparency.. What happened to this Don and the board.

I totally agree wth you and whilst we are all in it together.,we should have the opportunity to ask questions about the last 12 months, such as the consultant's report, and indeed, the so called in fighting.Sweeping it under the carpet, just doesn't go well for the so called culture at the club.And with regards to the CS-White board Wednesday- what a [censored] that has proven to be -re integrity. openness, working together.

I think you should -WAKE UP- there is a difference in selling a club and coaching.This guy is a plain novice- as a footballer he was timid. As a presenter the same. As a coach- who knows?? Just hope you are right and he can- but did not give us - we were a group of twenty and he left us cold. However, you are right- hope he can coach. Being responsible directly to Craig gives me some hope. We will know soon. With the draw we have- he should give the club the chance to make the 8- if not a failure in my eyes. GOT IT? And furthermore, he has a responsibility to please me- I'm a member - whom without us- he would not have a job--GOT IT?? Just hope you are right and we make the 8- then he has done his job.Only then- as he is a failure up to now.Unimpressive.

Great to hear we are indeed close to gaining a second major sponsor with regards to our new Chinese connection.CS stated at the AGM last night a signature was close and felt it would be in operation for Round One.

Totally agree- but as a member -one doesn't want to leave anAGM and feel as as flat as well. No inspiration at all and Neeld on the night was dismissive of his cororate responsibilities, didn't seem to take it seriously and was disappointing that he failed to be accountable by refusing to attribute broad goals to the clubs performance. I just hope the club has addressed this at inteview time.He let me feel as flat as a tack with his totally unprofessional conduct.I felt he actually degraded the club when he said he was given a list to reply to. I felt this was improper and not needed. He had the opportunity to sell us a worthwhile year ahead and FAILED DISMALLY.

The answering on the question of the current culture at the club was also a disgrace. Just shows how pathetic we currently are- with regards to where we stand as a club. They could not even address "What our culture is" and how they are are trying to address -the lack of it.In fairness to Don- he did stress that quick action was taken with the regard to the pathetic drubbing we got from the Cats. I felt that Mark Neeld or Neil Craig-could have got to their feet and stated - Well while we are here- this is going to be the culture of the football department- and this is how it is going to happen.A missed opportunity if I have ever seen one.

I agree toptally that this AGM was the flatest, most dullest AGM I can remember as a member for many years.My father thought it was actually pathetic. Mark Neeld's presentation was the worst speech or personal introduction we had ever heard.He was not prepared,could not sell himself,just pathetic. Needs to able to sell himself better than this, if he is ever going to sell himself to future members. Did not give us any feeling of future success. A shambles.

Well stated.

Jimma- you are a legend.Both on and off the field. When we win the next premiership -you should be the first to handle the cup or present it to our captain and coach.We owe that to you.You are the savior to our MFC. Best wishes to your health recovery..

You are spot on..Jimma will resign tonight.

Whilst Loats has beena part time coach the last couple of years, we do not seem to have one whom specialises as a Ruck coach.It seems that Brown and Greaves assists in this area but we do not have a specialist right now.

Strauss showed great foot skills in the Under 18's running through the centre with ong penetrating kick, however, when it comes to the top grade he seems to be tremendously under pressure. His guts and determination in getting his body right, and his leg (in particular) I hope he gais the confidence to produce his skillsets in the top grade when he once again gains the opportunity.He hopes to be right to gain a game later in the NAB cup.

I agree .He did not show leadership on the field and don't forget Viney dropped him due to poor form.CS is the boss.Like it or lump it- that is the case.Also this most probably will be Brad's last year.Under Bailey we lost Junior, Bruce, Miller - all still required as leaders or players at other clubs.Now, we have to develop the younger brigade.

Frawley, Trengove & Maloney co-captains.Jones,Jamar & Green in leadership roles.Grimes to be included as a v/captain.

It would be fantastic if this happened.

Sincere thanks for update-cheers

Totally concur

AFL has just confirmed on their website that BP is definitely joining Carlton

What position will Howe play?

Great to see you back JCB but the papers say Carlton.

No doubt BP was peived last draft- Neeld basically took over telling the recruiting staff what to get.BP had put in a lot of work when he deemed it was not necessary.

.However, I think Scully is also a looser. Money doesn't buy the qualities of life .However, it helps unbelievably and he still has to prove himself.One geeat game of 42 possessions does not make him a $6 million dollar man.He has great weaknesses . His kicking on both feet is atrocious.And I agree his knee is very questionable

Well- read the report on the AFL website..

Don't know if you noticed-I am a FEman.However, I believe that every footballer is worthy of praise,if they produce and Tom's perormance was quite unbelievable .He did the time trial with a time of 9m 37s.An elite performance trully. In particular with a so called wonky knee.I believe he tanked it with us last year and look forward to other comments.

Tom Scully blew out his cobwebs as he beat all and sundry in his 3k time trial today - Scully sizzles on track.
