Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

[Lore]

Tom Morris, 9 News via Fox Sports:

“A major board challenge is imminent at Essendon. In the wake of an off-season of turmoil, key powerbrokers - including at least one former player - are preparing a movement which would oust David Barham as president, and other directors too,” he said on Nine News.

“I’ve spoken to one of the key powerbrokers tonight, who says this is not coterie-driven, and it’s just a manner of when and not if the challenge takes place.

“There’s a view the club has been left rudderless and the Barham era has left a legacy of division, instability, player drainage and lost opportunity from this group of people.”

Solly lol

 

[boncer34]

Damn. Weston missed out.

 

[brutus76]

as long as Solly shuts up I don't mind

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Solly lol

Just goes to show we have a bit of an echo chamber of rational thought here. Your average supporter will vote for a premiership player regardless of their (lack of) experience or relevant skills.

Candidate Total Votes
Dean Solomon 7,459
David Barham 5,560
Paul Weston 3,829
Melissa Verner Green 3,016
Luke Maxfield 771

Somehow Weston got more votes than Green despite his trainwreck of a radio interview.

Getting Robbo writing about him in the hun really helped

 

[Bunk Moreland]

We have no need or use for Solomon.

However, at least Weston didn’t get in.

Progress.

 

[DapperDon]

We seriously have a deadshit supporter base

 

[jmoo wan]

Solomon’s post football CV is incredibly underwhelming. he wasn’t even that good a player

 

[faible]

We have no need or use for Solomon.

However, at least Weston didn’t get in.

Progress.

His experience coaching the Gold Coast backline will be invaluable. Can’t wait to see how good our defence is this year.

To those 3,829 people who voted for Paul Weston, respectfully, you’re part of the problem.

Learn from this and be better

Just over 20,000 voted. I do not know the exact numbers but I suspect that is probably half of those eligible to vote. The fact that Solly got the most votes just shows there are a lot of supporters who have the favorite son blinkers on.

Melissa is extremely unlucky to have to face off against ex-players being given an undeserved media platform. She is far more deserving of being able to continue her solid contribution toward digging our club out of the mire.

I'm probably the least judgemental person on this board, but golly gee -I'm judging those 3,829 people as ****ing morons.

 

[DERO]

It's time jmoo wan

 

[windyhill]

Solomon/Weston, Solomon the lesser of two evils I suppose. Still so connected with ****ing golden boy. Putting the blocks in place for his royal highness. Look out Scotty.

Let's do it! Can you supply some jobs and vans to bring the punters in?

I'd be very curious to know the average age of a Weston voter.

 

[Agronomus]

At least it wasn't Weston AND Solomon

 

[Agronomus]

I'm probably the least judgemental person on this board, but golly gee -I'm judging those 3,829 people as ****ing morons.

But how are milenials going to know how awesome we were in the 80s?

 

[BomberManU]

I don't really follow much of the off-field/political stuff and don't tune into much footy media during the off season - but the only candidates I heard of/from during the campaign were Solomon and Weston. So I'm assuming they got a good run in the media?

It’s only just over 10,000, everyone had two votes

If you weren't aware of the EFC supporter base being complete nuffies after the Wellman appointment then I don't know what to tell you? For me it really isn't any shock they'd also vote in Solomon.

Dead shi ts one and all. Absolute dead shi ts.

 

[The Dustbin]

I too had concerns about Solly. I have gone back and listened to this interview, he's pretty genuine, good character, and I would be surprised and really disappointed if he turned out to be a snake in a suit.
