Give me a break. You can't pick a President based upon baseless generalisations.
Smorgo, Sticks, MLG… not sure, given our track record of appointing presidents, maybe choosing someone upon supposed baseless generalisations might work for the better.
I understand it's a tongue in cheek comment but in reality, I'm not sure too many were "appointed" from a wide field. Several over recent years have been the only ones willing to put their hands up.
I suspect a lot off supporters are confused about what being a board member or President actually entails. I've read posts where people believe they're paid employees. There are benefits but it's also about putting up a shitload of your time and resources to assist the club. Time and resources you could be providing to your family, career or anything else instead.
Much like you and many others do with TC, Jars and the many other silent contributors do on Blueseum or people like Cazzesman did in the recruiting space. It's easy for people who give @#$%&! all to criticise those who give a lot.
A lot of past board members have made mistakes but I'm reluctant to shitcan volunteers who have made the effort for the club.
As I mentioned earlier, it's the perfect time for someone to cherry pick the role when success is possible. Hopefully we get the best person with the right credentials and the right intentions. Don't narrow the field down by 50% because you want a specific gender without serious basis.
Great point BV. A point worth remembering for all of us.
People who volunteer to work for the club love the club.
Gosh, remember those days after the penalties in 2002, when we were broke, struggled to attract sponsors, couldn't get a hand up for President, the Board wasn't fashionable, TC Jars helped get our culture back with Blueseum, and away we went. In fact, you were a sponsor back in the day. Frank's training report to keep us connected......
I love your belief we are on the right track and I believe we are about to explode. Nothing is linear, but we have some important ducks pegged on the wall, and now for the finishing touches; the hardest part, sustained success.
Never will forget that 2023 Finals series. The footy world stood up and clapped. Everyone except Swans and Dees fans loved the footy with carlton army making noise they hadnt heard for decades, Footy was alive again. We are desperate to bring back the noise.
A Big 4 club is an attractive proposition for any player. We will be back sooner than people think.
