The Collingwood AGM is coming up... is anyone on Nicks going? And I heard that someone might be challenging Eddie for the job on the board... is this true?

Bit hard to give 28 days notice for other business now.

[Two_Pies]

Still can raise questions from the floor. Just have to face up to Eddie who will hear what you have to say - ask are you sure - then will be right back after the break ...

[Dr Alf Andrews]

This could be a baptism of fire for the Lexus Centre. Hope the place is well insured, because I reckon there might be a riot.

[MarkT]

We would be if won a flag or two.

[cooldewd]

Have to agree with Tess' sentiments.

Only flags can erase the disappointments.

One flag is a start, but a *great* club wins many flags.

[Culprit]

There will be a challenge and so there should be, no one should ever be in the comfort zone. I expect one position to change on the board.

It won't be Eddie.

[Culprit]

I know, but you know how some are that read this board.

To appease some groups sometimes people have to depart. Kevin is not young any more. I am not saying for certain, but don't be suprised.

[Proud Pies]

Well, I'm voting for Casey Donovan
