Alternative to reconsider

[droppuntkick23]

You might find the alternative ticket will be having a meeting tomorrow to discuss whether they proceed or not.Certain members believe all of this fighting could be ruining the club along with the amount of money spent on the campaign so far.They apparently have looked at the Hawthorn situation as certain members are feeling uneasy about going further.
The footy side of the club is apparently suffering for all of this.

 

[froars]

I welcome some sort of mediation here - a truce would be good for the club and supporters.
But is it too late once all the forms have been sent out?

 

[droppuntkick23]

No it wouldnt be too late. They will be looking at all avenues due to two members who are now uneasy about the whole thing.Would love to be a fly on the wall in there meeting though

 

[froars]

Could they be fearful of repercussions over their glossy?

 

[droppuntkick23]

A certain two are extremely worried, worried enough not wanting to stand anymore.you might find a back down is near

 

[froars]

There's been some pretty disgusting things said about certain candidates in this campaign - i would not be surprised of any repercussions against the alternative and others!

 

[droppuntkick23]

You are extremely close to the mark there. They are extremely worried about that and also the unrest at the club at the moment. We are not talking about past people who have been on the board before either

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Forgive me droppuntkick for being a tad sceptical about this.but ummmmmmmm where did you get this info from and this coming from a port supporter wouldnt be a case of taking the Pi$$ out of us would it?

cheers!

 

[droppuntkick23]

No, not taking ******** out of anyone, am related to one of the alternative who wants out, says that there is another who is uncomfortable about the situation as well. Its no suprise when you consider Rex Hunts stand on the whole fighting issue is it.

 

[gustiger12]

DPK23 what are the issues you are referring to......I am not doubting or casting dispersion on your word, but would like to know what the issues are that are making people uncomfortable. Politics is a dirty game unfortunately.

ok fair enough.

Put it this way Gus, if you were newto the football club enviroment and you werent happy with the direction that certain things were going, wouldnt you want to bail out before you got fully involved.
Certain things said on the radio at the end of last week dont sit well with two members of the Alternative ticket.The two members who arent high profile are extremely disappointed with what was said. They are also disappointed that they have no input into the direction of the ticket and will say there piece tomorrow.

 

[Captain_Brown_7]

I hope, for the sake of this football club, that you are right.

 

[Punt_Road_Roar]

definately adds a new twist doesnt it?

if true would just about mock everything the alternative stands for regarding unity of the board.

they should all sit down, have a cry on everyones shoulder, Casey should say "i step down as prez", Wood,Welsh and Schwab should just walk away. Miller should go back to do what he was doing and not be on the board.

Rex hunt should come in as Vice President next season


Everyone is happy ..............................................

Even if rumours of unrest hit the media the alternative are going to fall apart quicker than a leper at a Labor party convention

 

[SaveFeriss]

Sounds to me as though this relative, who hasnt been involved with a club at this level, is seeing things as they are and dont really wanna get involved... A case of "Damn, that things to broken to get fixed, and Im not risking the rest of my lucrative career on it".

 

[cairo tiger]

toomuch has happened already lets have the vote as planned lets have the blood spill and lets then get the blouody pill

 

[droppuntkick23]

SaveFerriss, you are so close its not funny

 

[NQTIGER]

Well said cairo, the two sides are too far apart for compromise, lets have the vote to clear the air and get this great club back where it belongs....the top.......maybe after this vote the losers will accept that the people have voted and get behind the club instead of sniping from the outer and that goes for both sides

 

[SaveFeriss]

SaveFerriss, you are so close its not funny

Cheers, I like to think I can read between the lines.

But it's depressing to know if thats the case, and would appear that the RFC can never change. Or should that be the egos of the RFC?

I honestly believe as a club we are on our last chance so to speak. Fitzroy won 9 premierships, and I fear if we dont get it right this time, then we are truly on the way to follow.

Perhaps an autocratic Pres and Board is exactly what we need to get the entire club moving in 1 direction. Mackek is going to get whitewashed, and I honestly believe that is the best thing at this time.

 

[tigertime]

Thats a classic.. Thanks for that

[droppuntkick23]

They are not rumours, might be in media tomorrow if somebody goes to media. There will then be a ""linching"" in the alternative ticket !

 

[droppuntkick23]

Things arent what they seem down at the alternative ticket. Disharmony in the camp. . Might be taking Operation Fightbacks lead and retreating if things arent sorted out.
2 members are ready to walk, Just wonder where the independants sit with all of this.?

I'm still waiting for these headlines, I'm starting to have my doubts


would love to sink the boot into the BIG 4 duds one more time

 

[Hammerfire]

I'll believe it (and eat my words) when i see it in the age, until then i still believe it's a load of crap.
