Could we become that putrid that not even these board members will want to have their names associated with us?

We need to be setting unenviable records from now on...that of the greatest decrease in crowd numbers in two successive seasons. Easy to do...JUST DON'T GO. Would love a crowd under 10000 next week. That would make my day.

And don't direct your vitriol at MM...he'll be gone.

The media need to know that MM is just Lee Harvey Oswald...the patsy. The death of the CFC was a conspiracy hatched up by incompetent and greedy boys playing with the hopes and dreams of genuine supporters and members

I'll tell you MM can sleep easier at night than those flowering organisational saboteurs masqerading as our board.

My kingdom for a DeLorean and a flux capacitor

They're on the news not for football reasons but for football club damage control reasons.
That's unacceptable...

20 by 2020 ... 5 flags in 3 years etc

Now after round two when anything can happen.. ( st kilda over the dogs) this club has ripped away every incentive for every player and every coach in round 2.
Any wonder the club is being flushed down the toilet?
Is this leadership from President RollTheDice and I get 6 months severence trigg!

Joke!

Do you all know the story of ' the sword of damokles" ?
Thats not how you manage...

Joke!


Is that different to the Sword of Damocles?

You don't know my sources but you dismiss them?
Why?

Do you dismiss them because I'd true it's a pathetic take on club practices or your dismissing them for no reason except they don't suit your gate keeping?

I didn't dismiss your claims, I simply cannot swallow that particular claim without a follow up point. Here it is, instead, as a question:

Are you certain that the severance pay clause had no minimum and maximum term dates associated, and was a fixed sum?

Quote:
You said it reads like a manifesto.
Why don't you just say..
Synbad I think you're a liar and if that's what the club is really doing.. I'm with you.. They should all go!
In effect your dispelling what I'm saying but not committing yourself for the good if the club.

Synbad, from the bottom of my heart, I think you need a mental health day.

Every criticism and critique I make, I make of the mindset that it's just football, and that people can wear mistakes and pick themselves up from them. You've certainly walked off quite a few to this point.

Accountability is a wonderful thing to ask for, but asking for it using the same metaphor or cliché for an entire page of a forum thread is a bit much. I suspect very few people on the forum happily wade through your posts to find out 4 - 5 dot points of info, and people who read niche forums long-term tend to be pretty patient types.

I'm really not interested in indulging the melodrama any more tonight; if you feel so strongly about what's wrong with the club and you can articulate that clearly enough to some backers, you should see what you can do about changing the culture of the club, though as you do it I recommend you appear somewhat calmer than you do on here.

No such thing as a 'c' in the Greek alphabet..
But did you say the club has no financial problems and just downsizing to get rid of superfluous employees?
Like a head of recruiting in a season we will need one?
I take it sos is wearing two hats?
What's the latest on the bombers and asada?

*removes moderator hat*

i dont mind wading through them, i just wish instead of 5 short posts in a row , there was simply 1 long post. Makes the forum easier to read.

if you aren't interested in the melodrama, stop adding to it. Dont post about it as some kind of superior finality that tries to make you the bigger poster

Would be good if we could get some backers together but it doesn't appear there is a way in or around the pricks in power at the moment.

Nothing wrong with sharing insight and enlightening others around here without being forced to go away and take action

Can't get backers.
The only thing to do is smoke them out...

You cannot allow a single toxic cell to remain.
Look at what mark RollTheDice was doing ... Restructuring the constitution to make it harder for people to run against them

Not knowing whether we're in building or rebuilding phase though..


That sums them up

Hey funny boy,

Great to have you back. Where've you been?

This place just hasn't been the same without you. It's been amazingly different.....

Light & shade.

Noise & white noise.

Funny boy's back.

Cicero, Dionysius,

Damokles.

Your board contacts are interesting. Probably wrong, but interesting.

Have you ever dealt in the real world? Ever?

You seem aghast that senior executives would have a payout clause in a contract. Really?

Pull. Head. Out. Of. Arse.

Even mid level managers in most industries have redeployment & redundancy provisions in their contracts.

I'd be amazed if footy club CEO's didn't have such a clause rather than being amazed that they did.

Btw, it's great to have you back funny boy, life didn't seem the same without you!

The players the coaches and everybody else has that hanging over their heads.
Round two.. Mark rolled the dice yet again and put a stop to any kind of ambition on the season.

Sos came in and told him that this is a terrible list.. So be suggested every player is on the table and we need maximum early picks..
So we might get Colin Sylvia watts McLean deledio Ellis Thorpe x and raph Clarke etc with our early selections..

Yeah so the players are playing with that over their heads.. The coaches are coaching that way..

It's every man for themselves.

That's how to run a footy club

Don't forget.. Sos is wearing two hats...

And everything is announced round 2

Bizarre leadership...

quite possibly the worst leadership move i can remember was that juicy rebuild nonsense - in round 2

just kills the season right from the get go.

panicked because we lost a couple early..........so write the whole thing off?

stupidity

Almost time for a bit of Carlton / North Melb marriage talk. Super club owning the northern corridor of Melbourne and bringing excitement back for us Blues fans at the MCG.
