Very secure online voting system too.

All you need is a membership number and a post code.

And until online voting ended on Tuesday 16th at 6:00 PM, members could change their vote online (wonder if I could get feedback from compushare as to what my actual vote was , eventually? I wonder if every person who voted online, were aware that they actually voted?)

This will get up because there will hardly be any Carlton members voting. Most don't even know about it or don't care.

That's why this resolution wasn't even discussed and was introduced at the latest possible date prior to the AGM.
Standard practice at our club. Shhhhhh........the sheep are always asleep

Haha, maybe.......just maybe.....most members don't want the status quo and want to change things up a bit

But keep up with the conspiracies, conspiracies are fun

Adding an 'independent' nominations committee is changing the status quo?

What conspiracy! That more than two blokes came up with this idea of filterisation? Lol
People are idiots aren't they? Little understanding of the broader situations... Which is why we have less liberty today than we had fifty years ago...

That's conspiracy for you...

Difference is I think MLG understands the broader situation very well, trying to break up the oligarch's stranglehold on the board is a tough proposition when ur president only because of a compromise of two factions who didn't have a majority to bring their own goon in to shore up their positions.

Only time will tell but I feel MLG has a strategic bone in his body!!!

And remember. Mark is a product of the same board as his predecessor. Puppets.. For people who don't want to put their faces on the throne..
Putting their very own faces opens them up to criticism when things go belly up.
They're happy for now pulling the strings from the shadows.
Mark is a puppet though deep in good psyche he would like to refute that. He would like to think of himself as a dominant personality that is in charge.. That's normal.
The truth is he had to be rubber stamped by his real masters. He can be moved on at a drop of a hat if that's what they deem necessary. Ultimately with that kind if lack of clout he is a puppet... He must keep them happy and he mustn't stray from what they plot.
He's just another head in a suit...

Yep, so his modus operandi is to slowly breakdown the fiefdom by trying to bring in people that has a skill set in need not to shore up the numbers because he doesn't have any......I'll look at it from a half glass full perspective until I see different.

Facts are, there was no need to bring this change in the constitution, the fiefdom got what they wanted anyway. Problem was there was an even split of numbers and compromise occurred, now he just needs another fence sitter in and whichever side loses the number sides with MLG......hopefully he's around long enough to get them all off.

Actually you can look at it with any kind of glasses you want.
He doesn't have the numbers to run the club. He only had the numbers to be president. If one of the heavy hitters tells him to jump.. You can bet your bottom dollar he will try to jump as high as he can... Not that he can jump very high.. But he will do his utmost..
That's who he is ..
He's there because somebody told him he can be there.. Them had to kiss the ring..

You're denying this or you don't know? Lol

Lol

Of course it was fixed by the new president and new CEO in this club and embracing of the people.
Add an extra twenty to thirty years on whatever it was going to be for our next flag..

When it comes to sleazy conniving behavior they set a new high. Lol
How is this not the status quo? They continue the invitation system into the board. Just that now it's in concrete. Collusion is now front and square in the club...
Mark unable to feel comfortable in his presidential skin went rogue to make a splash! Didn't tell anyone else but to gain acceptance and make a football reputation for himself tried to poach a hawthorn staffer. He failed of course and had to return with his tail between his legs and sign up Rogers on a three year contract.
Whilst speaking of transparency and inclusiveness of this club under his tenure then proceeded to do the exact opposite.
Mark will be boiling in his own excrement before too long. He's already shown us his extremely sleazy colors.

They bolstered up the status quo and catapulted it to another stratosphere... Uncharted heights of sleaze and exclusivity..
The guy and his mates are amazing sleazes. Snake salesmen. They have a finals berth for you to buy.
Charlatans...

What's Gleeson doing? Lol

Just watch the club tumble away.. Free fall is his present to this club ...
