    Unsuccessful Freo people in charge of Freo

    Good question. Richmond. Sure, they had a bloody civil war that almost got Hardwick fired, but from the chaos they emerged with 3 flags. Naturally, no one wants boardroom infighting like this, the results are too unpredictable, and Richmond could easily have turned out like Carlton did with...

    Unsuccessful Freo people in charge of Freo

    First they'll need to get some proper fitting spectacles. And then an intensive course on corporate governance. Because a chronic, debilitating cause of our problems stem from the quality of our board. Some have been passionate but incompetent, others skilled but uncommitted as they sought the...

    Training Vale Salim Malik

    Correct. A milkshake is a concoction where sodium bicarbonate is used to slow down lactic acid build-up. As a buffering agent it's legal in humans (or used to be) and was OK in US horse-racing for a long while. But it's banned now because it's a brilliant masking agent, able to disguise the...

    Training Vale Salim Malik

    The account was opened by a relative (son, iirc) and when Richard stumbled across it he started posting. IIRC, it was around the time when Salim Malik (the cricketer) was busted for match-fixing and his name was splashed all across the media. Eventually the relative tired of BF and Richard...

    Just grounded, huh? I'm sure your mother has her reasons.

    Such bitter, salty tears. You really do need to get out more.

    Covid, this month's coach of Carlton or both? You'll need to be a bit more specific.

    Autopsy Jesse Hogan - Worth 220 Points

    1. There would be limits to the mitigating effect of disclosure. For example, sacking someone because you wanted their highly paid management position would be up there when it came to breaches of fiduciary duties don't you think? 2. No we don't know what happened at the Board meetings and with...

    Autopsy Jesse Hogan - Worth 220 Points

    And this is something we should bitterly mourn. For me and my mates always got immense satisfaction from sticking to Eagles fans the fact that they were toothless, powerless drones to their hierarchy while we had a voice which, though slight, was enough to occasionally put the CEO and president...

    Autopsy Jesse Hogan - Worth 220 Points

    You might go back and have a look at the bios of nominees for the role of members representative. Many experienced, no-nonsense, intelligent people with impeccable integrity. Some might say there is a sharp contrast to the current board (including the recently retired O'Reilly) but I could not...

    Autopsy Jesse Hogan - Worth 220 Points

    Nope. Bell and Alcock reckon it's more efficient to have a pool of potential applicants on hand from which the existing directors can choose from; someone they trust and feel comfortable with. And competency and experience are not key determinants either, with "inclusiveness" being uttered...

    Autopsy Jesse Hogan - Worth 220 Points

    Of course, and not being in the least bit interested in the role at that point in time would not have had to recuse himself from any formal discussions or vote on the matter, there being naturally no possibility of conflict of interest existing. It is curious isn't it that the club subsequently...

    Autopsy Jesse Hogan - Worth 220 Points

    Not sure "parachuted" is the right word. He was a board member at the time of his appointment, being the members' representative, and was probably no more involved in the board's decision to sack Bond than he was for being appointed to the role which, after all, was only a few hundred thousand...

    Mega Thread The Media Thread

    In 2019 we were 15th on 69.5% with the leaders being the Metricon (closed roof) tenants Saints, Bulldogs and Kangaroos, but not Bombers (only a few places above on 12th at 71.6%). As someone once said, there's nothing as certain as a closed mind.

    Autopsy Jesse Hogan - Worth 220 Points

    Not having a go, but is this what you've deduced or what your sources have conveyed to you? Back in 2016 I was given to understand that Rosich had doubts about recruiting Jesse, due to reservations expressed by the recruiting team (I assume Lloyd and Walls and some medicos). Key concern IIRC...

    If nothing else it'll be interesting to see if he can exploit the new anti-congestion law.

    Very much so. Won't favour Gaff, prefers the harder TERFs.
