swann hasnt been rated in years... i think at least 4
but we want cook
but cookie doesnt wanna come to us
so we keep swann

thats ridiculous!!!

we think swann is shit... they do.. i promise!!!... (but he is a good mate of sticks) but most of the high rollers on the board think hes crap

but even though they think hes crap.. we dont change him because cookie doesnt come over.

scared to even make a change ... unless its someone with runs on the board.
pathetic!!

Isn't Swann on the football selection committee or something? Like it's Mckay, Swann, Kernahan and Gleeson??

It's safe to say he'll be gone before next season but like so many areas of the club, the damage is well and truly done.

Safe to say huh?



I would really love to see Swanny on the front foot with the media & putting out positive, proactive vibes at the moment.

The next couple of weeks are going to be pretty make or break in terms of membership sales.
Will probably also have a flow-on effect to the sales of 150th year merchandise.

Not good, Swanny.

The last 3 weeks have broke membership sales - poor scheduling from AFL but also spiritless heartless spineless efforts from players means people are not going to sign up -why would you - we have the rest of the competition laughing at us - not even laughing at us behind their hands but straight to our face
WHY ON EARTH WOULD SOMEONE NOT COMMITTED to this stage bother signing up and paying money - you would see more grunt if you spent the money on a subscription to the ballet :banghead:

Mr Swan should listen to Mr Mathieson's statements and now place his resignation letter into the Board tomorrow morning.

If not, Sticks should sack him

In any event, Sticks must resign as well.

In the next month or so most likely that both Sticks and Swann won't be in their current positions

Make no mistake, Swann will be gone. I would wait until years' end, though. Start a search now, with a view to appoint by August.

Thats how our corpocracy works. the global financial crisis of 2008 saw massive bail outs by the tax payer. Too big to fail apparently these banks of ours....

Capitalist ideals and free market discipline is for the corner fruit shop and the family owned service station.

Its like what Robert Zimmerman said on his Infidels Album of the 1980s

"steal a little and they throw you in Jail
steal a lot and they make you king"

(a little of wisdom stolen from a small ship owner who used the same line of reasoning on the Great Alexander the Great almost 2500 years ago)

Nothing new here sadly - the rules and the system isnt there for you or I, its to protect and empower the elite...always has been...

And if the bombers escape infractions (which I think they wont) it will be because of this soci0-policial reality

poor old Saad,

poor old Balkan weight lifters, asian swimmers and Jamaican runners

...the code is for hitting you over the head with

(you only need to look at the people who front the International Criminal court in the Hague for charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity - take a good look at where they are from...)

captains of industry - some are are genuine captains - most are socio-paths, genetic inheritees, mobsters, banksters and cocaine sniffers

This is true.

That's the problem. He's got it all mapped out to be seamless, which is garbage. Ahmed Fahour for mine. No messiah complex, a man with good business acumen.

Last round Carlton made the final four for the first time.

Eventual premiers.

That's what I'm talking about!
