I am sure there was a vote by someone at some stage.

Bloody hell...where were you guys five years ago! No - club members no longer get a vote. And Marcus Clarke was the last remaining board member who was voted onto the board by club members. This is LoGiudice's board. Courtesy of the Independent Nominations Committee (of which he also presides).

He's also put himself on the selection committee to select Brad Scott the new coach. He controls the club - and if I know anything about MLG, he will take credit for the success and none of the blame for the failures. I'm sure that doesn't go over particularly well with the CEO (who much of the off-field success is due).

Guess who is best friends with MLG?

Interesting to see how long Chris Judd lasts on the Board, if he starts to voice some dissatisfaction at Board Level about our List Management.

The Kim Jongs over at Big Footy don’t agree with you.

Some gems include:

I don’t trust members to know what makes a good board Member



Quote:
Not sure a public popularity vote provides a functional board



Hilarious :lol:

It went to a members vote at the end of 2014. Members voted for the changes. The vote wasn't close. I did try!

However...my feelings have changed somewhat. Yes I think the Pres has too much power, but the board members are largely irrelevant. A good CEO is key and I think he's going ok.

Cheers, don't remember it happening.
I probably should have been paying more attention at the time.

I think we were too busy laughing at the guy who always stood up at the AGM asking for a room to be set up at Princes Park where Social Club Members can get together and have a drink.

Which in retrospect is not a bad idea.

Actually I can see some merit in that argument.

You could also philosophise that members get the board they deserve....

At any rate Chris seems like a solid addition and well suited to managing government and infrastructure projects. Good to see some board renewal too

It's true the apathy of the members has put an end to voting. Sad.

The only way now to hold them to account is to withdraw financial support.

I'd go there to have a drink. Speak with the Brethren. Have a laugh. Not have a cry. Rinse. Repeat.

Especially now where it looks like MLG pulled the best move of his tenure... :wink:

Are we going to win the 17th in the courts? America's Cup style?
:lol:

Or are you talking about something else.

Go Blues
