As long as we've established that.

Stick to Wiki-Googly stuff I reckon.

That you blokes need to quote things out of context to make your point is what makes this discussion hopeless.

Synners, maybe don't suggest borderline-megalomaniacs as board candidates, even hypothetically? It's not very savvy.

I've given you a prototype board, the political challenge of installing it seems to be where you think you know best, I'd love to hear more about the cast of sycophants and egomaniacs you've identified as 'passionate about the role'.

Hopeless!

Jim, you should give up.

Really.

It's just the way it is.

Hopeless!

Then just in case you forgot that there was this
http://m.afl.com.au/news/2014-03-21/blu ... investment

This is a culture problem where sporting excellence is not front and square but idolatry of footballers by board members is.

Football clubs are about sport...
A board is responsible to create the best environment for spring excellence possible.
Having guys on the board who are bringing guys into ventures with clubs and pokies and other fields is ridiculous.
They're simply rubbing shoulders with footballers and not keeping focus on what they're supposed to be doing.
Creating an environment of excellence in sport.
Nothing more...


We've lost focus..
When other players see board members spoiling their elite teammates it sets a rotten example.
There's just layers and layers of elitism and cronyism at this club ...

Terrible culture!


:clap: :clap:

That's a disgrace. Thanks for reminding us in the last 2 posts where the focus of players and club directors have been. Absolute disgrace....Newton, LGD, Judd...FMD.

Not focussed on the job.

Tell the world. LGD has to go.
I bet there's more underhanded non footy focussed activities with other members of the boys club...I mean Board.

Thanks Synners. I'm disgusted given where we've been for the last decade.

The point is this club this board has not been focused on an environment of sporting excellence.
How quick was the president in dis-attaching himself from himself and blaming " previous admins" the guy just is not about strength and leadership..
He's part of the mess but he steps away and blames others.

Amazing we can believe the team can be any different when that's the tone set from above...
Lack of accountability.

The problem is the players and the coaches etc have the cameras on them from every angle.
Every kick is show motioned.. Every miss tackle.

But imagine for a moment the board lived in a kind of big brother house for the last few years.
We'd be horrified

Every ridiculous decision.. Every lie.. Every sneer at us.. Every conniving plan. Every tactical disaster.. Every decision. Every fart!
Can you smell what theyre cooking? Oh yes you can!
They like to sneak under the radar.. With no spotlight on themselves.
They shine it into the eyes of others.

I hear that McKay is on the nose now
Not that I disagree.
But didn't they appoint him also?

He just like to hang out with footballers...
His plans don't translate into success... He's a baboon really


Do you know MLG?

In fact, do you know anything about him?

Serious question? I'm keen to hear, do you know him or anything about him?

Makes sense...the evidence is there for everyone to see.
The blame game, the rebuild in round 2, dodgy non football focus, lining pockets, boardroom battles....its a disgrace.

Whatever happened to Best Practise?
What happened to our once powerful club?
The answer is obvious...just look at the top.

So from racing Victoria they dont know football but MLG does?
You're tripping

OK I know enough about him to know he is very clumsy. He is big on cronyism.. He's already proven that.
He's talks when he shouldn't because he knows me doesn't belong... So he's trying to prove he does.

And yeah real estate agent background who will accelerate the fall of the club faster than sticks because he's trying to prove himself

make that a VERY small property company, according to its website it has 1 listing..... ONE !!

and he sits on the board of Premier Fruits but it appears his involvement extends to the property management of the fruit companies locations and farms - which would be pretty minor involvement.

pretty unimpressive

probably the best thing he does is help raise funds for the children hospital

My understanding of what's going on I'm comfortable with.
Unless you can show me how mark is the answer..
Even though he's been on board for five years and crucial in many choices the club had made.

I can't confirm this 100%, but I'm lead to believe they vote for things on the board Synners. Based on this belief, one may not always hold the same views as the majority of the board.
