CENTENARY BOOK

[FOURTH ESTATE]

PLEASE NOTE

NO CLUB IS UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO BUY THE LEAGUE BOOK.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR COPIES RETURN THE LEAGUE OFFICE FOR A CREDIT

I thought we were told we had to take 1 Book per side and that was that. Are you sure that you are correct or not. I know we lobbed up with 4 Books so it would be nice if you could check that please.

[FOURTH ESTATE]

They told us on the night that we would be getting 3 books per team and that we could on sell the rest and they had them all boxed up ready to go with invoices attached.

They were then reminded by the delegates of the CEO's letter that clubs could decide at the August Delegates meeting on how many books that they wanted.

I believe that quite a few have been returned and even more will be with the mistakes made in the club histories. Not a lot of happy clubs I believe

[Iron Fist]

we had our committee meeting tuesday night and our delegate rocked up with 10
we dont want them and probs wont be able to sell them.

a return would be great

Maybe each club should go to their page, highlight the errors about their club and send them back

Possibly an oversight but with such an important Publicaton that should or maybe should have been looked at before printing a Centenary Edition Book. It would make a degree of commonsense possibly but they know best and not much can be done now once printed.

Sounds like a beauty of a book. Wonder what they'll present by way of the actual centenary show. That should be worth the $100+ if the book is anything to go by.

I got to see the book tonight....will people actually pay for this? the bits i read were quite ordinary..heck look at the front cover, is that seriously one of the better photos they could find?

Every club shoud have been given their own pages to read and correct and return. Not that hard I would have thought. Might have taken a few weeks or so but with the Centenary being next year there was no great need to get it out so quickly at the risk of the clubs having a squiz at their own pages. Bloody simple really

[Blacks130]

You had to be there but I heard a very amusing story yesterday from last Monday's delegates meeting when Shadiac rose in front of the congregation like some messiah to declare the magnificence of his Centenary book and cited a photo consisting of two very large, old and non-athletic football players boldly declaring with great pride that this (pointing at the photo) truly reflected what Amateur Footy was all about.

Now I agree the great thing about amateur footy is it caters for all shapes and sizes with varying abilities but the person tells me that there was general amazement from the delegates that Shadiac genuinely believed this was a major selling point to the book to the point that everyone was waiting for him to crack up laughing thinking he was have a gag.

This just demonstrates how far removed he is from what the clubs think their league is all about. Probably also suggests why he treats the people that run their clubs with the dis-respect he does.

[Hellboy]

The match that never was......

They never went to the pub - straight from the horse's mouth yesterday

[Clever Dick]

I hear on the vine the Centenary Ball has been "no-balled" into oblivion.

[EddieV]

This would be correct...

Watch out the last rites haven't been given yet by the Bunker

The Delegates voted in no uncertain terms of about 35 to about 15 (give or take) so how could there be anything else but put the paper work in the trash bin for the Ball

Surprised only the small quantity of books sold of the Centenary Book. Many to sell by the sounds, but that might happen over the next few years.

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Word is that the book has been a loss in $50k figure. What can I say we got the book we didn't want. I believe only 1 sold at the centenary function.

[Footy Chick]

Yes, the new treasurer was very open about this - we can't blame the current exec for something they had no say in.

At least he didn't try and hide the loss.

It failed. Let's move on.

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Too true FC just letting posters know the final outcome. Yes it is time to move on. At least the new Exec didn't try to hide it and were honest and up front when asked about it.

Any chance to take a shot at the league ay mate?
Your constant SAAFL bashing is incredibly boring to me... Get a life!
