Stats centre: The stats centre is partially operational, thanks to some excellent work again by Kev.
You should be able to go to the When I'm Away links for your team, click on your name and then enter your away days. This is a helpful way of letting team management know that you will be missing a game, and allows you to book your dates away so you are less likely to be rostered off for a game when you are home. The draft fixture list is up there as well.
Player of the year awards: Kev reports that fewer than 50 percent from either team were voting regularly last season. It could be boredom or lack of computer knowledge. I have a different idea for the player awards - just a single 3-2-1 vote per person ahead of the awards night. I'll put a poll up there and see what you think, but I guess a response of around 50 percent of our 43 players probably makes the point that the current system isn't really involving everyone.
Trial No. 2: It looks like we will have enough for the trial on Saturday. As Guest Park has no posts at the moment I'm working with St Elias to see if we can't find a ground which has, to hire. Details will be blogged in the shoutbox later in the week.
Trial No.3: The Coledale Under 18s have challenged us to a trial. I'm not sure if we're up to that, but thought perhaps Whites play them first half and Maroons in the second half or vice versa. Would like to know your thoughts before I lock us in. Thinking the Saturday before the season kicks off could work, with a preseason BBQ etc before we kick the shite out of each other.
Roster: Ian Dewey has offered to ref again without fee. He would like us to instead pay for two of the U18s who are qualified officials to run the line, giving them some extra cash and experience and, in Ian's words: "Two people I can trust to help me instead of having a smoke, drinking a beer and chatting to the guys doing the barbie." Probably don't need a poll to gauge your thoughts on this one. There will still be BBQ work to be done and I will start thinking up some more stuff to keep you bludgers occupied.
Rego: So far we have registered 20 of our 43 players. Please get this done by Feb 24 training if you can so we can get our fees in to the IAFA. Let me know if you can't manage it in time.

Actually about 70% maroons, 50% whites voted.
