can we get SOS to rebuild the board?

Given the current board's pathetic failure over the last 15 years why should they stay?

Give someone else a go, they couldn't do any worse....

Drag this club into the 21st century?

Be innovative rather than copying whichever club has taken their fancy recently.

Who are they copying this year?
What is left on the agenda they haven't covered?
What is innovation in your mind?

They have a think tank available for ideas to put forward.

We also have a sub committee to avoid mates being placed on the board. See our announcement recently? Has anyone ever heard of her before as a prospective Carlton board member? Do you think that type of board member would get a gig under an Elliot backed regime?

Replacing a board that has delivered on many of the fans requests this year is stupid. That's what I was responding to, not individuals being replaced. Individuals will come and go, but the right Chairman is in place that is kicking more goals off-field than we are on.

The point is that they need to be accountable.

For the last 8 or so horrifically mismanaged years they've been operating without being unaccountable to anyone for their continual flowerups.

They can sell 'inclusiveness' as much as they like but in reality they're very exclusive.

Can't help thinking one particular poster is trying to set some sort of record for multiple user names.

Guy is way out of his depth and at the right time. Probably the end of next season.. He will be eliminated from the big brother Carlton house.
Not only is he proving he's out of his depth but the guy has no powerbase and he happens to be at Carlton.
That just doesn't work!

Lol, that's what the rank and file want.... They don't want power base.

I hope Essendon* folds.

But he's not a rank and file he's a puppet.
He's put there by his masters.

He's basically one of them without a power base
In Shakespeare's Hamlet be plays the part ofRosencrantz and Guildenstern.. If you want to know more about them read Stoppard's 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead'
You understand.

Syn's back

welcome back mate board has been quiet and not worth the read

This is your problem Synners, you distil every person down into a small set of archetypes, and more often than not you're wrong.

Some people are very clever, but take their time to come to a decision so they're not very quotable, nor are they necessarily great at thinking on their feet. He's a businessman, not a general at war*, so he can read and research and ask questions and read and research some more, he rarely is left with no time to make a decision.

If that's who he is, I really don't give two shits about how he sounds at a press conference or what people think of his conversational skills at parties, I care about what decision he makes when it matters. He seems to be nailing it at the moment. If you think he's a figurehead and suddenly the rest of the board is spouting good ideas as soon as he takes over then you're as gullible as others have implied in the past.

I see Trigg similarly: not the greatest interview subject, but preaches a patient and measured approach. If you want fireworks and one-liners, build a time machine and go back to the late 80s and live the glory days of Keating, Hawke, Donald Trump and Jack Elliot, personally I'd like to stick with a good plan for more than 8 months.


* - cue you going on an epic spiel about how the end of CFC's days are coming and this is war
