Roast Olsen and the board.

[1970crow]

Should they? I've started new jobs knowing not much about it, especially who people are and what they do.

She's not new.

 

[1970crow]

This is what all coaches and teams do, isn't it? Completely normal and obvious. It's fine for CEOs, Chairmen, and the club in general to have wider goals (such as Port's three premierships ), but if the coach and players are not routinely concentrating on the next game, then they should be castigated.

So, Nicks' comment is fine, but Roo's comment is completely unnecessary and strange.

Roo did a Derm, tried to make something that is already known and simple sound like he's talking rocket surgery.

What's with Balmey's pic?

Looks like a Brendan Gleeson headshot.

Olsen at the AGM discussing the Balme appointment, 'He brings his extensive experience in the stage and screen world. He has such range and we're all looking forward to witnessing his method acting up close'.

 

[VKCrow]

Listened to Balme and Murray Davis today. I have a feeling the Crows are going to explode onto the stage this year - in a very good way

I like the picture of Balmey. Has that don't mess with me look.

I thought Ellis stepped down?

Amazing what happens when you get competent people in important roles!

Yeah, she's listed in that pic as one of the changes.

Balme looks like our godfather

I’m more concerned by the cropping on Gallagher pic. Is he a midget or did they get the mother In law to take the photo at a family gathering

Except she's been on the board for how long already?

 

[GrommoT]

Come on this wasn't a surprise interview, she had plenty of time to prep for it. Write some notes at least.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

We know where Jobe got his genes from...

So you starting a new job as an employee is equivalent to a board member 2 years in? We're a football club, how can you excuse a board member for having NFI about our football department?

Safe to say Thebarton short odds to be named ‘Thomas Farms Centre’ from the sounds of things.

Also not surprising to find out the ‘old guard’ (Chapman, Hazel and Hurley) have their tentacles of influence still all over the place

Puff piece that is dropped just as we've peaked at 4th on the ladder.

Can't we wait a bit before patting ourselves on the back?

4th on the ladder with minimal injuries and a failure to win big games is not something we should be gloating about right now.

the headroom on Gallagher is more concerning

In fairness the Age has been doing a series of these on all clubs and it seems like it's just our turn

We've got plenty of butchers on the list so that works.

My God, what do you people want, we beat who we should and loose to the teams that are flying ATM. If you said last year at this time in 12 months we'd be sitting 4th on a 7-4 run I'd tell you to get off the sauce (in the Fridge). I swear some people on this board would crack the shits if they won $900K "what! Not the Mill, life just hates me". Just enjoy the ride will ya.

I’m happy we’ve got some ridiculously rich people who care a lot about the club. I hope our players get similar opportunities to those available to cats at cotton on. Like Jordan dawson’s wife/partner/gf can have her own line of lamb cuts or something similarly glamorous.

the point is 4th is a manipulated postition and we cant rightly say we deserve it if we continually lose every big game. It means out position is nothing more than fraud based on us maximising a biased draw. its not hard.

Olsen pays tribute to Ricciuto

Mark Ricciuto has today retired from the Adelaide Football Club’s Board of Directors

www.afc.com.au

 

[Slippery Pete]

Twelve year limit for board-appointed directors, but only eight years for member-elected directors. That’s if they get re-elected, which happens every two years.

What more can you say?
