Just watched it. He is such a good spokesperson for the club.

Direct and spoke to every person just as he would a serious interviewer.

No Kennett aloofness and no overcooked false Eddie mateship.

Say what you like about this guy he's an A grade human being.

Presidents are about direction though cimm.

Thats the problem with Sticks.

And sometimes they have to be bastards!!!

George Harris rings a bell.

Sticks would be a great babykisser on family days.

Or the guy who does the ring around for membership drives...

Or you wheel him out for golf days.
Or pie nights....

A good President he aint....


A good prez he may not be but let's not undersell his abilities (and achievements) entirely Synners. There's also the possibility he can get the ship back on course, I would think that the current spotlight on the club helps everyone focus on what's important.

It wouldn't be the first time that Sticks has had to grab a team by the scruff of the neck and demand better, would it?

Thing is because he is humble and honest and admits mistakes, people think 'aww what a great bloke he loves the club, lets keep him'.

He did that as far back as 2002 at the famous meeting at Moonee Valley, and was loved when part of the same administration people wanted to kill with John Elliott and his heir apparent Colin De Lutis. Speaking of which, where is Col now?


Colin De Lutis update...
