Strategy Back of House Discussion: Targets, Changes, Appointments & Facilities

[Jumpoff Joey]

I went to a filthy public school, as soon as I left, no one cared.

I thinks it's a private school thing only.

100% - Almost 20 years since I left high school and I havent mentioned Forrie High School (so shit it was renamed as a sports college) for 20 years. Is it really this clicky in private schools?

it's for the banter more than anything, the PSA sports program gets pretty competitive

I doubt people actually care that deeply beyond shit talking

I graduated from Trinity in 1998. To this day when I meet a person that tells me they went to Aquinas I automatically decide they're a campaigner.

So to answer your question; never.

Hello Andrew Embley

Hello Andrew Embley

Yes same graduating class. I beat him 1 on 1 in basketball in year 9 for a $1 bet. He never paid me.

Funny thing is he and his mates used to make fun of me for being an Eagles fan (unsurprisingly he was a bit of a jock surfie dick). Saw him out in his first year on the Eagles list and he was pretty friendly then lol.

Apparently that would be worth $2.14 today. Probably not worth chasing him just yet.

That’s an answer Andrew embley would give to divert the attention

Look mate, no one dislikes Trinity guys more than other Trinity guys.

I was sent to a public school, so anytime I meet someone that says that they went to any private school, I automatically think that they're a w***er that was the beneficiary of misspent taxpayer funds.

With an exemption for first year at UWA, where they walk around like a pack of socially awkward hyenas.

They were generally normal by about third year though.

(Source: part of the public school 3% who get enrolled there by accident)

Edit: except you of course Bender_. You're totally normal for an anonymous Internet forum poster. We all are

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I went to school in Rockingham and graduated without a drug addiction or a baby.

So did I really graduate?

 

[Campaigner for good]

Nah, he was going to use it to buy Bitcoin when it became invented in 2009. So Andrew Embley to owes him about 135k.

Also, wonder who they will get to replace Langer. Assume it will be someone with a high profile sporting background?

Making fun of someone for supporting the Eagles in the 90s is wild

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Surprised no one here has chimed in with a "school of hard knocks" yet

 

[WCErevival]

Surprised no one here has chimed in with a "school of hard knocks" yet

Someone already mentioned Rockingham

Brah, pls. I had to rid my bike up hill to AND from school, into the wind aswell

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Breaking up the school chat this is the current board as far as I can tell:

Elizabeth Gaines (Chair)
Rowan Jones (Deputy Chair)
Justin Langer
Ben Wyatt
Terry Bowen
Nicole Moody
Jan Cooper
Mark Paganin

The maximum term (9 years) for Langer and Bowen expires midway through 2026 so they effectively only have a year left plus change before they have to step down

The rest have joined this decade so can stay until at least 2030

Christina Matthews might be a candidate to replace Langer. She delivered big time as CEO at the WACA

yep - but nobody admits it.

Although well short of Melbourne culture.

 

[DorothyG]

As a non-private boy, I think it's cool. Call it clicky or whatever, but to have some connection with complete strangers, both positive and the banter possiblities if from different schools, is a great thing.

Low key jealous of those that went to a private school.

Yeah there were more interstate teams supporters in my year, and a solitary Dockers supporter.

Unsurprisingly considering the multicultural aspect of the college there was probably more soccer supporters.

 

[DanWCE]

I went to public schools in Mandurah. Lucky to still be alive

 

[Bender_]

1: It's "cliquey".

2: It's not cliquey, it's a rivalry. And the majority of the time it's fairly good natured. Except with the Aquinians who can go choke on a soggy Sao.

3: Sorry Keys, no more BigSchooly.

shout out to whoever is doing socials for the club this season, it is no longer bland and stale
