yeah could be, dunno was just wondering if there was nothing serious going on down there.
At first glance I wondered what it was about, but then noticed it said netball in brackets and to contact Kim Weller (netball president) so I don't think it's got anything to do with the footy club.
Not sure why it would be an extraordinary AGM though.

Graham Robbins to coach Maffra in '09
Ben and Craig will both return to the club next year. They have both been playing for Collegians in A Section amatuers.

Shes my Hairdresser
Be interested to know how many candidates if any he beat for the job.Now,honestly this isn't just another Sale /Maffra dig but he has been out of the game for a long time as a player and hasn't coached for a long time either and even Sheedy was outdated by the time he retired.On top of all that ,he lives in Sale and has a business there.Can you imagine what would happen if the Sale coach tried to run a corner store operating in Maffra ,he'd be out of customers and business in no time.

okay well here is one i heard about a fortnight ago and now it seems like a not so far-fetched idea.. Maffra is rumoured to be interested in getting Leigh Brown to the club to coach/play in 2009. A Heyfield boy doing what Coxy has done at Sale but obviously at a different club.. if the Eagles landed Leigh Brown i reckon they'd have to swing back to flag favouritism.. Brown is just one of those blokes who i reckon would dominate country footy.. obviously Leigh was only delisted a few days ago so i'd imagine they'll wait for the dust to settle before if/when they make a decision.
one to watch though

He was obviously preferred over Hider so that's at least one he beat for the job.
He may not have coached for a long time but he was heavily involved in the recent premiership successes - chairman of selectors, match day tactics, game plan etc etc. when Butcher was coach and also in H. Burgiels first year.
As for living/running a business in Sale he is also a Sale past player and grand final coach.

ROBBINS GETS A SECOND CHANCE AT MAFFRA
November 5, 2008
GRAHAM Robbins will get a second chance to lead Maffra to a premiership more than two decades after he first coached the club.
Robbins, 59, has been selected as the man to lead Maffra back to the top of the West Gippsland Latrobe league table, after the club was knocked out of the premiership race in this year's first semi-final.
It was the first time in seven years that the Eagles had not played in the grand final.
Hayden Burgiel, who coached the club to premierships in 2006 and last year, has stepped down from the coaching role but will continue as a player.
Robbins, who played 13 games for Richmond from 1969-71, coached Maffra in 1983 and '84.
He coached the Eagles' under-18 team in from 1991-93 and also served a stint as the club's fourths coach.
He said he was "excited'' by the prospect of coaching Maffra once again.
"I didn't go after (the coaching role), but when I was asked to do it, I was very keen to take it on.''
The Maffra faithful will be hopeful Robbins can lure some high-profile relatives back to the Eagles nest.
Two of his sons, Ben, 31, and Craig, 21, play for Collegians in the Victorian Amateur Football League.
Ben played 92 AFL games for the Brisbane Lions and North Melbourne between 1996 and 2003.
Robbins' nephew, David, has won two J.J. Liston medals, the VFL's best-and-fairest award.
David currently plays with VFL club Port Melbourne.
Any Robbins family recruits would help plug some of the gaps left by departing Eagles, including former Collingwood player Nick Hider.
Hider, 37, has accepted the senior coaching position at Sale City in the neighbouring North Gippsland League.
Rumour is also strong brothers Justin and Clinton Staley will leave Maffra to play under former Coburg captain Travis Ronaldson at Woodside.
The Staley boys played in a premiership with another South Gippsland club, Yarram, in 2007.
**** me. woodside must have a bit of shrapnel lying around.

because i can tell you right now. the staley boys dont come for free.

I know a few people from Woodside.They got Ronaldson pretty cheap considering every man and there dog chased him as he is a local boy and Justin Staleys missus plays netball for them so that would help get him.
the 2 blue
Draftee
started his footy at won wron woodside then went to Yarram when they merged. He was born and bred in woodside and coaches the cricket team there.
Heard that the 2 Mcfarlanes have gone from Garfield to Drouin
