Just one point. Im not convinced Jamo was the preferred option of the existing board.

No one is!Rob Chapman will be on Fiveaa after 4:30 if anyone is interested.
Take it with a grain of salt, but Jars on Triple M yesterday before the vote said he had spoken to Jamo and he was genuinely nervous about the election. Sanders
Pretty funny coming from a bloke that gives posters s**t for speculation, demading proof in a condescending tone. Your whole argument was speculation, supposition and a dot joining exercise.
Perhaps a suppository up the dot might relieve the hurt?
Your whole argument smacks of sour grapes over the result..... a "bunch of grapes" if you will.nuffy like post

As others have said, if he wasn't an ex player, would he have been voted in based on his credentials compared to the rest? I think not and that's the issue everyone has, he's been voted in since he's a familiar face.Why does being an ex player disqualify Jamo from running? He's as entitled to nominate as any other person who feels they have skills and passion to offer the club.
Bicks was offered an assistant coach role in 2015 and turned it down.
Nope.
Bicks was contracted for the 2015 season. He was then shuffled to a small marketing role.
I am not sure how they handled the accounting of his salary. They might have paid him out or they might just be paying him his coaching salary in 2015 to do the small marketing role.
That discounts the benefit of having people with some actual football experience on the board. We've had plenty of lawyers and businessmen. Before the election we had one board member with football experience, and even then very minimal AFL experience.As others have said, if he wasn't an ex player, would he have been voted in based on his credentials compared to the rest?

How does playing football help? Smart played football and everyone seems to love what he does... Roo is another and now Jamo is a 3rd, it's not as if we don't have anyone on the board that doesn't have football experience - and I struggle to see how playing the game at AFL level suddenly makes you more qualified to run a board which has nothing to do how the team plays footy.That discounts the benefit of having people with some actual football experience on the board.

Having a couple of board members who know what it is to be part of a football club, and in particular the Crows, is a plus to many.
Yes, some of the other candidates had impressive business resumes. That's the point though, we've had enough of our club being ran like a business, we want it ran like a football club.

I guess each is their own, but I think many feel the club has been run terribly as a business which is why there have been calls for many of the board members over the past few years to be given the flick, not to bring in guys that are clueless about running a board but to bring in those that actually make the correct moves and listen to the members.
It's not about playing football, it's about spending the majority of their lives inside of football clubs, it's called industry experience and it's the hardest thing to add to a resume.

Probably because it was still a lot better than Jamison's and he'd also gone to the effort of interacting with those he was chosen to be voted in by, something I don't believe the other candidates did?... and yet, many people's preference was 19thDan, with one of the weaker business resumes from the candidates...
With all due respect, that's horseshit
It's the easiest thing for a footy club to find, people who know about footy clubs. It's pretty low value stuff too
If I wanted somone to play footy then I'll get a player if I want someone to run a business then I'll get a business man.
