    More generally it felt like a fairly soft platform for us to spruik about bigger picture off-field endeavours. It was hardly going to be The Inquisition.
    Well I went along today and I thought it was a great idea. The questions came from members that bothered to write in and ask, from facebook and the audience.

    I suggest next time posters should ask questions if they weren't satisfied with the questions today.

    In general the questions today covered:

    1. Goal kicking
    2. Assistant coaches
    3. AFLW coach - Bevo let out of the bag that Bob will be doing some work there.
    4. Ballarat
    4. Good Friday
    5. The redevelopment of the VUWO
    6. Update on Community programmes
    7. Salary Cap and are we after a big fish
    8. indigenous programme and the lack of players.

    On Ballarat, we have made over $6 million dollars to date. A good example was the GC game where we made $600,000 and compared to at marvel against GC where 23,000 showed up and we made $20,000

    Yeah the responsibility is on us members to ask the questions that we want answered/discussed. If you don’t ask and engage you won’t get a lot out of it.

    Spot on Easty.

    I spoke to PG and he said the idea came from the staff at the club, it wasn't a management decision.

    Wow that's mind blowing. What happened to our better deal at Docklands when the AFL took over?

    That is a better deal, once upon a time we would have been writing a cheque for a crowd like that.

    The much better deal we were supposed to get when the AFL took over certainly hasn't eventuated though. AFL clearly need the money to fund vital projects like AFLX and the money pits in Western Sydney and Gold Coast.

    What makes you think they didn't? Softball questions would have been to the top and the more pressing ones pushed aside. I mean a question was picked out asking about Bob Murphy becoming part of the coaching team. Honestly? Surely there was something a little more interesting than that.

    If you look at the topics covered (see my post above), what else would you like to have covered?

    Explanations on what went wrong after 2016 and what they're doing to rectify it. Questions on list management questioning why we went into 2019 with 1 ruck and low stocks in KP areas. They're just a couple off the top of my head and I'm sure these and more were put forward but pushed aside. It is what it is though. It was more focussed on our off field position which is quite good and great to hear we're kicking goals there it's just a shame we can't do it on the field.

    * That was the first questioned asked.

    * Mental Health was discussed - which lead to Tom retiring and one less ruckman.
