I can’t make it, but someone here should. Might be streamed, might not. Post your reports please.

I scored a spot at the 50+ Year Member Function today. Training was on and looked pretty spirited. There would be a few bruises. I could swear Tom Williamson was out there until I saw him kick with his right, and realised it was BlAcres. His two-way work on the track bodes well. I didn't...

No matter which side of the SOS/Liddle fence we're on, it's agreed that SOS won't be coming back, and we need a replacement. Do we go in-house with Agresta, or poach? Who does it best elsewhere? IMNSHO Brisbane have been fantastic at talent identification and acquisition, even when their...

This palette of click-bait is one of my favourites. Gary Dhurrkay is indeed no longer with us, but as he was aboriginal, I doubt he was white and blonde. Former Essendon player Mark Mercuri has surprisingly become two asian dudes with receding hairlines. Individuals self-identifying as twins...

No-one else has mentioned it, so I will. Last night was excellent. At least if you were a premium member who scored an invite. No Bolts, but a handful of players mingling and chatting with the proles. Met a few other tragics (no BF ones though), and had a chat with SOSOS and Zach who were both...

Anyone here going? I might make it, depending on how crazy the cross-town christmas traffic is. They're usually good value if you haven't been before. If you've got an issue or suggestion with the club's administration (as opposed to on-field performance), this is the place to vent it and be...

I've a spare copy of "The Blue Boys" - the massive tome the club commissioned a decade ago to cover the history we'd prefer to remember. Autographed by: Jezza, Diesel, Braddles, Campo, Ken Sheldon, Swan McKay, Ken Hunter, and the author. Free to a good home.

I'm a little surprised this hasn't already posted by someone else. I can't be the only BF tragic there last night. Top evening by the club, and a nice privilege for Captains Club members. Buttifant, Malthouse, and SOS all interviewed by Andy Maher for about 45m, with as much again for questions...

So what wizard japes can we expect today? At least we're competing with ten other clubs for the media's attention this time. 1. Scotty to appear in full fireman regalia. 2. White to take on anyone who dares compliment him. 3. Mitch to get in a brawl with his bathroom mirror reflection. 4...

A friend is planning a trip to Adelaide for the Port game. What's the local ritual for Blues people there? Which pub before/after? Which section of AAMI should they book tickets for?

...if our salary cap breach penalties of 2002 were too harsh by what happened to the next club that did the same. So what will become of Adelaide? They're in better shape now than we were a decade ago - they could shrug off a $1M fine and not even notice.

If you saw this woman after the game, you might want to contact police and let them know where she was heading.

Jack, because that's what we're getting from him. I've been a big supporter of Jordy since the dark days when he was every mug supporter's favourite whipping boy. We were finally rewarded for our patience in 2009 when he showed what he was capable of - even stamping himself as a club leader in...

Aaron Hammil says: Funny, we regard him as more of a turncoat.

I'm not sure how much weight to put on Barrett's TFS bit last night. Supposedly there is friction between board members over football vs corporate priorities. There'll always be differences of opinion between directors. No two people agree about everything. Of course there will be...

I had the promise of youth, and ne'er the taint of middle-aged disappointment, when we last beat Sydney in Sydney. We have adult members who have never witnessed a win up there. Good signs: The backline is tighter - despite missing personnel Haven't lost a close one yet. Coaching has...

Get it here.

Got the notice in the mail today. Same place as the last few times - the Yarra Park Room, Olympic Stand, MCG, 6pm. My first question: why not at the shiny new social club? Isn't this one of the reasons we built it? I'm prepared to give Jason Johnson's horse doovers a go. There hasn't been...

Well, not the snail-mail version, but if the club has your email address along with your membership details you've probably got a renewal mail in your in-tray. Unless you're changing membership level you can renew straight away with the credit card. Slight increase in prices - mine went from...

While we're talking up possible trades and acquisitions in other threads, I think it's not a bad idea to have a think about the other side of the equation. For every player that comes in, another has to leave. Looking through our rookie list there's not a single player I'd like to let go of...

You have to admit, he's the first person you think of when you read a headline like this. Aside from the hysterical NYE beat-up (which was probably pay-back for Fevola's Brownlow effort), 2010 has been pretty quiet on the bad publicity front. Jack hasn't been heard from, Fev's not our...

I only just realised this since he's grown a beard. Steven Browne: Flight of The Conchords' Bret McKenzie:

In my in-box this morning: Sorry Jobe, I have other priorities. Things must be desperate at Windy Hill for them to start buying random bulk email lists to drum up business.

We've added Mark LoGiudice and Raphael Geminder. Good to keep the Pratt family connection.

I got mine today. Full member pack to follow in February. The bad news? They've messed up my "Member Since" date. Also for some reason we now have "Account IDs" instead of "Member IDs", and they're completely different numbers. BTW, The Carlton Family Day is on Valentine's Day. What...

OK, who made it? I got there about 5 min before it was adjourned (Damn you all to hell full-time employment!) so I have almost no idea what happened during the Q&A session. The last two questions from the floor were more intelligent than average. Someone raised the point of public transport...

The results are in and the incumbent directors (Marcus Clarke, Adrian Gleeson & Mark Harrison) were reelected. Michael Spartels will have to try again some other time. BTW, remember the AGM is this Monday night. I have to work late, but I'll try and make it.

Here it is. I'm sure JeffDunne is poring over it as I type this.

The 2009 AGM will be held on Monday December 14th at 6.00pm (incidentally, the day before the PS/Rookie drafts). Same venue as last year - The Yarra Room @ The MCG (from memory where the old Northern Stand was). There's an election as well. Three of the directors are up for re-election...

Looks like the club expects Cloke to pull the pin first.
