I hope I wasnt out of line with that crack about him being a stupid big fat hairy gorilla.

Well if you have manuals of the clubs processes I'd love to see them. But somehow I don't think you have even come close to them.

i dont need a manual to see how you stack up against other big clubs.

i need a brain a set of eyes and reason


you need a manual

Mate...I'm at the club once a week. I know a lot of people. Don't kid yourself.



When's the last time you got a vote at an AGM? I used to vote...they don't hold elections anymore...but you wouldn't know that would you because you're only on here for one reason. Those that did vote in that past - all 8,000 of them - never had a calm and measured approach I can assure you. Scarponi - you're out of your depth. Time to move on.

I am sure I voted in 2009. May have been in time warp. What a tool.

Bruce has set up sustainable money making ventures for the club which will ensure the Clubs viability going forward...

Bruce does not want credit for this in the public arena but without his contribution we would br F@$&?..

The club needs to listen to and act on Bruce's concerns...

You must have been stuck in a time-warp. It's now 2012! The last time you voted Marcus Clarke, Adrian Gleeson & Mark Harrison were nominating for re-election while Michael Spartels nominated to join the Board. That's a long time between votes. A long time for these people to get things right. I'll give you credit where it's due, you took the time to vote and gave them an opportunity to prove themselves...but guess what? Time's up.

I am very well aware why the members vote took place. Should be a members vote this year.

I am sure they made an amendment to the Constitution regarding the tenure of a Director. I understand that it is no longer than 9 years or 3 election cycles...Can anyone explain why Sticks is still on the Board?

The current Board should declare all positions open and allow the members to vote on whoever nominates...

This won't happen though as ego and self preservation of the current Board Members believe they are bigger than the Club..

I think Sticks comes under the "he's just special" clause set up for club icons with the insight of Humphrey B Bear...

Sorry to disappoint you, but there won't be. For the 13,000th time - Craig Mathiseon and Ryan Trainor are coming on to the board. Mark Harrison, Ari Suss and Stephen Moulton are stepping down.

Took the words right out of my mouth!!!!!

President - Fail
CEO - Fail
Coach - Fail
Football department - Fail
Medico's - Fail
Recruitment - Fail


Change is required. Problem is, this club is full of big-head's who are too bloody stubborn to admit that they're part of the problem.


We need a president who has leadership.
We need a CEO who actually does something.
we need a football department that covers all bases.
We need a medical department that can....... well - you know!

In regards to recruitment - I think it's been a failure for a while now but we've been blind sighted by it! It's a major concern and it will hurt us in the future.
When was the last time we had a Rising Star nomination?????


Personally, i'd love to see the back of Sticks, Swann, Ratts, McKay, Darren Harris (cause there sure as hell hasn't been any development anywhere) and I think it's time for Wayne Hughes to depart from the club as well.

He is still on the board because he was re elected in 2010 by default due to no one nominating and has spent four years as president.

I am really getting tired of your insults. You are making comments about people you nothing about.

Given what you have written over the past few weeks I cant see you have anything remotely constructive to say let alone close to being right.

Believe it or not there are a number of people (Doc S being one) that do actually have an intimate knowledge of what is going on. I get the impression you are just guessing.

Seriously, stop trying to make yourself feel better by insulting others. It is not a good quality.

Marcus Clarke, Richard Newton, Mark Lo Gudice, Adrain Gleeson, Greg Lee and Sticks should also go..

This would leave, Ryan Trainer, Craig Mathierson, Zac Fried, Jeenie Pratt, Ruffy Geminder...I've also heard that Tom Elliott and Harold Mitchell may consider a place on the Board?

This is the shake up we need and would ensure a proper review is undertaken of the club...

The board was re elected in 2010 because of lack of nominations - no challengers in other words.

Sticks should step down from the Presidency. But there is a role for him at Carlton in the future. He just needs to step away for a while. This is his 27th consecutive year at the club. That's a long time without seeing things from the outside.

Ratts probably won't last. He's tried. Not wholly his fault. Would have made a great assistant. Can't fault ambition.

McKay is switched on. Don't underestimate him. He's done nothing wrong thus far....and a few things right. i like what i see. He'll be around if he wants to. It mightn't beat sticking your hand up a cows bum, but with the right changes it soon will.

Harris is as good as gone you'd think. Has had plenty of time to show results. He's a reasonably good kicking coach - I think the TAC Cup is a better fit for him.

Wayne Hughes has already been demoted. If he wasn't looking elsewhere as I type, I'd be very surprised. Keen to see Shane Rogers in the top job. He's unearthed some gems. Deserves his chance.

Yep!
