Moulton would prefer to join the board via an agreement with Smorgon, and may yet attempt to broker a deal before next week's board meeting. But he is prepared to fight for a position via a members' vote.

From where I sit, aspects of the club are a complete farce!

Somebody might tell me I'm wrong...

But I have a vague recollection that Moulton was the name mentioned as a mate of Adrian Gleeson's a few weeks back. If that is the case, then he is only coming onto the Board to complete the Smorgon faction. That is, get rid of Valmorbida and Diggins, and bring some blokes on that will actually vote for Smorgon as President, and Sticks as VP.


The line that possibly gives it away is this:




If Moulton was serious about 'shaking up the board' I doubt he'd be trying to come to an agreement with Smorgon. To me, this looks like the Smorgon forces pretending a challenge is on, when all they are really doing is improving their own position.

It looks like the Pagan being overruled by the board has been a beat up.

Ty Zantuck's dad is the only person who has said that. Pagan said he was overruled but not by the board. Pagan was overruled by the Football Dept.

There is nothing wrong with this IMO.

Clayman,

Unfortunately we have a board member as part of the football department. Does he change hats at football department meetings? If Sticks was not a member of the board then it is solely a football department decision.

My point is, Pagan wasn't overruled by "The Board".

Steve Kernahan = 1 member of "The Board" (He does not make up the entire "The Board"). This matter was not discussed between members of "The Board". "The Football Dept" was not over-ruled by "The Board".

Steve Kernehan = 1 member of "The Football Department"
Pagan = 1 member of "The Football Department"

Pagan was over-ruled by a majority within "The Football Department", not Kernahan alone, but "The Football Department". This includes people like Ratten, Bradley, Libba etc. These people are not "The Board".

Hopefully this has cleared up the confusion.

You're not the only one saying that Molly. Seems that the two businessmen being talked about as challengers, one of whom is Moulton, are actually Smorgon allies. Seems they're playing media games to make out these guys are the long talked about challengers. Perhaps a tactic to try and diffuse any ammunition a challenge to Smorgon might have.
