That lessens the chance that people win actually run, and lessen the chance even more that they will actually replace anyone!Great rule that is! Not.the INC has been discussed. A candidate that does not receive INC approval can still run for the board by election by the members, as being a non endorsed candidate from my readingthe argument against the INC is just meaninglessinterestingly, farouh and germinder have resigned - the board is now 8. it appears that no one from outside has put their name up for INC approval this year Quote Selected

Re: Culture Reply #32 – September 16, 2015, 05:01:38 pm As always there is an action that prompts a reaction.He went away and trained his arse off over the summer. They posted pictures on here early this year as a reason why we stuffed up with Robbo.On the flipside, we know what happened with Robinson when he was with us. Big Day out fist fight. We saw those photos.Had we kept him, there are no guarantees this season would have been similar for him. Quote Selected
Re: Culture Reply #33 – September 16, 2015, 06:06:08 pm I'd take Robbo getting into a fist fight everyday of the week over Jones pissing in our pockets and still getting a game. There's your culture killers. Quote Selected

Culture starts on field, trying to correct it by punishing someone for off field misdemeanors, especially when they provide great culture on field is just dumb. Quote Selected
Re: Culture Reply #43 – September 17, 2015, 08:09:34 am 100% carrots. Every successful side has a few "characters" with questionable off field attitude/demeanour/activities...its what happens on the field that counts. They just need to check the right boxes in regards topreparation and performance.Just check out the recently successful Geelong, Hawks and Pies sides... they had more than a few "characters".

Re: Culture Reply #44 – September 17, 2015, 08:16:08 am If we kicked out the players with off field issues and any so called "dickheads" in the 70's and 80's we would be short 3 or 4 flags Quote Selected
