All ran very smoothly.

T-Bird and Vivian Kerr were made life members.

The board elections results were made offical with Marcus Clarke, Adrian Gleeson and Mark Harrison returning.

Ratts introduced the new players.

They took questions.

First speaker asked about MCC Members being able to request reserved seats at Etihad without purchasing additional member packages. Swanny said he'd look into that.

Second speaker congratulaed the club on trading Fev, he's been a bad influence for 10 years and then asked about us allowing Judd to speak to the media after the Lions game. Swanny admitted we got caught out there, the media asked to speak to Ratts or Judd and as Judd was close by he said he'd be right to go and just said something stupid. No amount of work from the club re: having media people prep him would have helped.

Third asked about a couple of the pubs Bruce Mathieson had promised and what was happening. The first I think was the Yarra Valley, Swann is now President and it will be coming on board soon, as will the Victoria Inn in Williamstown and Royal Oak in Richmond, both of which were previously run by The Bulldogs and Richmond. Also asked about Chris Pavlou who is gravely ill and what the club was doing to help. Swanny said a couple of players had been to visit or would visit soon. I think the speaker meant what are the club doing to assist him in terms of ensuring he has appropriate treatment etc. He then asked about Warnock being injured all season and riding a scooter at training. He said if we don't get anything from him and he turns out a dud someone has to pay.

Fourth speaker asked about a Carlton Museum in the re-development at Visy Park. Swann said the problem with them is that people visit once and they become a drain on the club so we're going to rotate displays in the foyer so firstly it might be something on captains of the club, then a display of our premiership cups. He said we've build a cabinet for our cups and there's room for a few more.

Fifth speaker asked about Good Friday football and whether we've consulted members, players and support staff to see if they support it. Swann said the players will basically play when and where they're told and each time its been bought up in the media weve received feedback from fans. I thought it was actually a good point to at least consult members on whether they'd support it. Taking feedback after its been mentioned in the media seemed strange to me. Importantly Swann and Sticks both confirmed there will be no Good Friday football while Andrew Demertriou is in charge. Swann aslo said it would need a big club invloved and as Collingwood and Essendon* have Anzac Day we almost have to be invloved if its to happen.

Im sure I'll have missed something, but that was about it really. Nothing too dramatic.
