I think it might be time for another Tyrant to join the board.

I've worked with Gleeson b4 in financial planning. He is a complete arrogant bastard. Thinks people will invest with him just coz his name is adrian gleeson.

I've also seen him at a few Blue Suits functions (he is on the committee there) and rather than mingling with those that pay to be there, he sticks with the other d..k head Blue suits committee men (and they wonder why Blue suits memberships are way down this year !!!).

Glesson is not quality, and the board requires quality. If an ex-player is the angle the board are going - there's plenty better !!!

OK - how about trying for Dog Brown? He has made a fair bit of money for himself and is willing to be true to himself.

I like it, but I'm not sure he's the kind of guy to get involved in footy politics.

Especially with the current AFL Commission in existence

You can just see the headlines if he does join:

"There's a Bear in there"

Speaking of board members one who is doing alot of work behind the scenes for the club to set it up financially also donated a few thousand dollars for those trekking monitors.

Can we have more on the board like this guy???

I mean a doer ????

Whose the board member? It'd be good to know so that we can acknowledge his generosity.....particularly around election time....
