Interesting few days of posting, especially targeting BHN. For loyal posters on this forum and for those interested;
* most abuse directed at BHN has been by bigfooty "newbies". The posts have been identified from different internet cafes around Melbourne suburbs.
* We actually know who the person is. Unfortunately he has a mental illness and a vendetta against BHN that goes back many years.
* the VAFA and bigfooty moderators have been informed of this particular individual and his continued attacks.
* He has sent numerous personal letters and emails to the club trying to undermine stability over the past 2 years.
For those not in the loop, BHN has come ahead leaps and bounds from approx 5 years ago. It is unfortunate that people such as this (with limited mental capacity) can use this forum to undermine and take cheap pot shots.
We hope most can see through this rubbish.
With regards to the cost of a slab, this is a first request and I'm sure we will handle better next time. We are trying to work with council and improve ground surface.
Finally, thanks to all and the Centrals (in particular) for backing us up.

Is going into that level of detail necessary?
I think there have already been admissions that there is some truth in what has been said about BHN, albeit by someone who may harbour ill feelings.
Slab price / direction from the assistant coach / poor surface, and the jury is out on the changerooms. What the players were like and if there was abuse directed at the umpires really really only for those at the game to know. I wasn't there - and haven't commented on that accordingly.
Why are these comments such an problem? If BHN is the great club you claim it to be (and it may well be), then all who encounter it will find that out first hand and these posts become a non-issue.
