  1. Resignation of Bendigo Bombers General Manager Matthew Allan

    The board of the Bendigo Bombers Football Club today regrettably announced it has received the resignation of General Manager, Matthew Allan.

    Matthew has been offered a position in Melbourne, outside Football, which is too good to refuse and will finish with the club on June 30th, 2007.

    Bendigo Bombers Chairman, Mr Warren Driscoll said that Matthew's departure is unfortunate but understandable.

    "Matthew has done an outstanding job during his two years with the Club and should be commended for his integrity and his strong desire to take the club to the next level - Bendigo will certainly miss his expertise," Mr Driscoll said.

    “Matthew has contributed to the successful alignment with the Essendon Football Club for a further three years and has certainly helped the club progress in his time as General Manager.

    “The timing of Matthew's resignation, if seen in combination with my resignation from the Chair, is unfortunate but simply coincidental.

    "The club has recently embarked on a complete review of its organisational structure, roles and responsibilities and has also commenced the development of a new strategic plan. The club has also attracted some exciting new people with some fantastic, fresh ideas and I am confident they will continue the progress Matthew initiated."

    Mr Driscoll said Director Peter Lodewijks has been appointed by the board to act as General Manager to the end of the 2007 season. The club will then commence a formal process to appoint a General Manager.

    Peter has been working behind the scenes on possible future organisational structures for the club.

    Hey everyone, short time reader, first time poster. Have always had a passing facination with the VFA and the various clubs that featured in it. I was wondering if there was a site perhaps that featured club logos? I notice a few posters on here have rarely sighted logos such as Northcote's. Cheers, and keep up the good work.

    Round 7 only featured one Sunday VFL match at Frankston, last week with the state game meant there was none, and this weekend there is just one Sunday match being played - IN BENDIGO! I can't remember the last time a round of matches didn't feature a Sunday game being played somewhere within an hour of Melbourne. Historically this competition was a Sunday football competition in more recent times it featured one Saturday game and the rest on Sundays.

    Well no doubt you would have read in the press this morning and heard on the radio that St.Kilda will be moving from Moorabbin. The question is to where? The two locations mentioned in the press so far are... Casey Fields - To join their VFL partner the Scorpions Teac Oval - To be shared with Port Melbourne. Now let's say for argument sake they moved to TEAC Oval - would this possibly mean the end of the Saints-Scorpions alignment and see the Saints hop into bed with Port Melbourne? Talk-back callers on SEN this morning have been urging the saints to "Come back home" to the Junction Oval.
