All Board members can be toppled and removed except for one Man who will never be removed because he is so Powerful, he can buy them all..

He is known as " The King of Pokies ". He and his Pokies are here to stay for eternity!! And I Just admire him so much because he just reminds me of Saddam Hussien. You will need an American Invasion to force him out of the Club LOL

Welcome back Dodo
I missed you.:lol: : :)

Seems a storm is brewing to challenge the board, which is a very good thing. At this stage if they put up anything credible I think the current lot are gone.

But I want them all gone, Pratt, Pokies Man, Lo Guidice etc.

BTW I would welcome Sanderson applying, still young enough and probably better for his experience at the crows. Of course that would be after a proper process.


I guess the disappointing thing about that is the fact that Fahour and Sayers are on the current board. Both men who've been touted as the type of forward thinking presidents we need.

:|

Is it not possible to select a couple of those already onboard so to speak?

You welcome an Outside challenge but the board is trying?


Show me a board that is not trying..!

It's about talent isn't it?

There is little to no talent on this board.. Lol
Seriously hopeless, stale, self interest.. But yeah in all that they're trying!

But it is not about that!
This club will be kicking the can.. Maybe not the coke can but the Pepsi can up the road a while longer.

Anybody who thinks Mick is finished with this board is kidding themselves.
Mick will drop bombshell after bombshell.

And no need to herald a rebuild on round 2 smart clubs are always in a state of building.. Not rebuilding

I spoke to an ex board member yesterday.
Was told ..nobody can do anything within a board when it's so about numbers.
I threw up some names and asked about the chance of them coming in.. ( no.. Not tom) I was told "these kinds of people would only consider the prospect if the board stood aside and they could take in their own team of talent "

and this is what must happen.
Dare we dream of a great club again?

Haha KB on sen can't understand how the members rubberstamped the boards 'independent' committe for board nominations. :lol:

That's because the silly old fool doesn't understand how this club operated historically, forever bringing people into the board that help shore up factions without adding anything else to the role nor the membership having any idea of what skills they bring to make an informed decision or have the ability to vote on it.

I really believe we need a symbol and then get it out on social media...
I've been studying these things very carefully..

The pressure on this board needs to be immense.
It will also signal encouragement that they have the masses to anybody thinking of challenging.
At worse it will put the board in a state of notice.
Something they have been deflecting thus far.
Their tenure is not the kind of excellence and care this club deserves.
They have been rather shabby in their treatment of 'the club' and have been allowed to get away with it... Each time they can step away allows them to believe they can step away from accountability the next time.
Plato wrote that you deserve the leadership you have.. And he's correct.
Do not let them out of your sights no matter how they deflect and wiggle...

Do we know why ryan trainor is not our prez?
Just wondering..did he not want to?
We need a whole different vibe..a clean sweep.
Forward thinking..inclusive...engaging. ..not pretend engagement
And a highly intelligent and charismatic front person/prez.
Like minds attract.
A person with great integrity will attract that to the club and board.
I want to dream big.
I dont want edelstons name on anything at our club.

I believe Wallsy is right when he says we will all get behind a rebuild with the right people in place.
I want to regain my passion for the club.

trainor got a taste of our board and our way of operation, and basically said we're a mess and while this board is in place, we will always be a mess. a mess he wanted no part in.

I agree with that CB.

MLG and Trigger say the right things, they know what is needed and where we are at. They are not into quick fixes, and are trying to engage the members. They want a rebuild on and off the field. They've acknowledged membership is poor and identified the disengagement between club and fan.....

....on the negative side is they are clumsy and at times naive about how they go about things. They have little to no experience in fixing the problems they've so rightly identified, and from the outside don't seem to have the right people or funds to do as much.

I think however Trigger is copping a bad rap for the last 5 days, and taking the heat for what has been slowly festering for 15 - 20 years.

From the outside it seemed dumb to go public as he did prior to Friday night, but you can't help think he knew of the consequences and wouldn't be upset by yesterday's events.

The board backed themselves into a corner and Mick wasn't going to quit. If in fact he'd gone feral and rogue internally as had been whispered since around the Collingwood game then something had to give. Trigger gave him the rope, and the rest is history.

It's not ideal, but thankfully we haven't got Swann and Sticks talking of Top 4 finishes, and needing a Premiership coach to "finish off" what had barely been started...

They at least realise were at Ground Zero, but there is still a lot more change needed before we can even think about beginning the climb.


Triggs and laguidace may have some good intentions but are not smart. Clumsy managers with no finesse. Still you have to work with what you have. Trigg is a c grader who is a mile ahead of lazy Greg Swan. Laguidace same par as sticks. We need someone in between them and the high standards of harris, aylett and mcguire. Fitzpatrick is best. I think he would do it

I thought he walked away because he was not selected to be President.

Yes the AFL commission is a very comforting place; they sit around all day in bean-bag cushions getting hugs on-demand.
