Hasn't been a pre-requisite for recent Boards and Directors.

I'm not sure how anyone in their right mind could support the continuation of the current board (Kate Jenkins excused) given their factual and proven record of utter failure

The Carltonians for starters. One of their own has the top job.

Tell me how you're going to do things differently? I can vote now, so I know here it's going until convinced otherwise. Perception vs reality, incumbent has made the changes and needs the time to fullfill the plan.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Jack's son being involved in some way.

Let me guess at least one of Jeannie Pratt and Matheison....

This will just be the factions trying to get their power back, not even man enough to put yourself out there by only speaking under anonymity

Laughable


I'm not convinced you thought this post through...

Based on some gossip from 2 months ago I reckon you might have at least one of those right...and the one I'm alluding to didn't have an animal as a nickname.

Twitter rumour is that someone nicknamed Harry may be the next president.

Mentions there is a petition with 500 signatures. Anyone here signed it and how do you sign it?
Timing is interesting, not sure now is the right time for this.

I would have been all for this 12 months ago, but I wonder what else the Judge and Trigg could have done.

For the first time there seems to be genuine acceptance of not only where the club is at, but what is required to recover. Sure, there's a lot of improvement we're still to see in operational areas, but in terms of the work and effort required, I don't think the club is shying away from that for the first time that I can recall.

They've appointed a young coach from the most successful program in modern football history. They have demonstrated an appetite for making hard calls on players for the long term betterment of the list and its potential for success. They have truly embraced the draft for the first time in the club's history, and for the first time I can recall, actually had a strategy for approaching trade week which I think they got 95% right (only Yarran's price could have been a fraction higher in my view). Getting 8 for Henderson is one of the great pieces of trade week maneuvering.

I can't see how any of this would have been possible under the previous regime(s).

I think the Judge and Trigg have earned the right to have time to see if the changes they have made and will continue to make will see the success we all want.

Everyone on here does want success for the club, don't they? Sometimes I wonder.
