But if Roo steps down, it's four all. Olsen would get the deciding vote.
We've actually played in 8 Preliminary FinalsI couldn’t believe that headline when I saw it. I mean seriously. 2 flags from 3 Grand Finals. Another 4 preliminary finals. A bit of luck and you probably would be on 3 flags. No one would deny that there has been some underachievement (and every club could lay claim to underachieving or not maximising their “potential” at times). But that is just bizarre.
Edit: I see they also refer to Collingwood as failures. Ok… clearly they only have one act in their repertoire
Don't the AFL appoint/remove most of our Board Members?
We have no control over Roo's seat on the board via a petition. He is not one of the token "Member Elected " Board members anymore.

The AFL could remove him very quickly if they wanted too.
Yes they could.
But why would they?
Olsen can ask them. Maybe he did and they said no. He wouldn't make this public at all.
Sounds like Roo isn't standing down on his own accord.

I’m fully aware we have no control to remove him and the club has no control over how to remove him however if 30,000 Crows members signed a petition even the AFL would have to do something. The problem is most of the Crows members treat Roo like some sort of demi-god.
The main issue now is that you still have 6 board members who were on the board of directors when this all happened. If you get rid of Roo, you also have to remove the other 5. That ain’t happening, so unfortunately Roo will stay.

We started having issues once Chapman led the club. So from 2009 onwards.
It takes time to correct a decade of incompetence.
Sorry, I thought you meant an official members petition as part of a process as per the club constitution. Pretty common for most club based organisations.
We don't have that.
What you are suggesting is really more hope than an actual process. Hope we can get 30,000 members to sign a petition, and hope the AFL will listen.
I have no doubt Olsen asked for Roo to walk. Roo pulls rank, it's "his " club and is staying put. Then Olsen went to the AFL, they said "meh".

More the optics and he was the Football Department Director.
Every other person in power has been stood down.

Agree with your last part.
Not just Roo, all should go. But won't.
Pembo on AA cracking into the Camp
Never mentions his wife Kate Ellis was on the Board then.

And he brought in Burton plus his post camp comments, they played them on FC last night and they make him look pretty silly now, another benefit of having your football director as a radio host
And also his "move on" comments on MMM last week when it broke.
Creates more media issues for our club.
I highly doubt Olsen and Silvers want him there, they have done everything (get on front foot and apologise) right, but he is staying put.

I think if Roo actually loved the club he would go. He's just holding on so if the on field stuff ever turns around, that success will be partly attributed to him. He doesn't seem to realise his redemption arc will never come because he sucks at his job.

I wonder if he said anything this morning?
His comments where he praised Pyke and McGuire for putting the club first are telling, will he take his own advice?
Also I’m sure I read somewhere that there is a time limit of how long you can be on the board, how long did we extend his tenure last year?

The leader of the bunch.
He might bleed for the club, but the club will continue to bleed while he's there.

anything from roo this morning?
On 5AA last night - They had a text asking if Bickley would consider taking a place on the Board. Bickley's response was a solid No - because in his opinion you can't be both on the board and in the media. 
I doubt that would happen. This is a bit of an echo chamber. In the real world, the majority of Crows supporters, while not necessarily seeing him as a demi-god, would be happy enough with Roo staying, and many would agree with the things he has said.
