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.”

The worry is that members who aren't all that tuned in will see the name of an old champion and vote blindly.
And tbh, I think that's their plot.

that's absolutely the play. Solly is nothing but a stalking horse.

Sad but true

 

[Beerfish]

Can just imagine GO'D on the board

Now this I can get around

 

[Old Campaigner]

I think I'd like Tim or Jobe Watson on the board. Having a poster child for everything that went wrong in that era (or his dad) would probably put an end to a lot of the nonsense.

the smart ones who’d probably be a great board member are probably too smart to be sticking their noses into footy club politics

2 of the 3 challengers are ex-football players from our glory days.

Sheedy really is a sly old fox… I have a begrudging respect for his machiavellian political machinations.

Really hope he doesn’t pull it off though [emoji51]

 

[justlookingaround]

So does Sheedy want to be president?

 

[DERO]

So does Sheedy want to be president?

I think he just needs to feel like he is involved in a meaningful way.

 

[Agronomus]

What qualification - in your opinion - does Weston have for sitting on a board of directors for an organisation generating ~ $78.9m in revenue per annum?

Did we not have Dean Rioli on the board at one time? What were his qualifications?

 

[Agronomus]

I think he just needs to feel like he is involved in a meaningful way.

He was a board member until retiring recently. All you millenials have to get used to Sheedys DNA being part of Essendons culture. Sheedy is Essendon and Essendon is Sheedy.
It's the same as Elon Musk and X

 

[Agronomus]

As a supporter whose seen zero success and is confident in the current administration since pretty much ever.

I am not sure if i can sit and continue to eat shit from the old regime if they get back in i am 6 years away from 30 i would like some success and stability before then.

Do you think 30 is old? That's cute

 

[Vindicater]

Just listened to the Weston interview...

**** me. He lost me as soon as he started talking about the 2k time trials...

I wish the interviewer responded with this:

OK Karen.

That’s not an answer to the question

Ok boomer.

Fk this made me laugh hard. Hell of a comparison with Elon/X & Sheedy/Essendon.
Sheedy will always be a part of Essendon heritage. He's absolutely earned that.

That said, he isn't Essendon and Essendon isn't him.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Someone better call the aged care home and let them know agronomus escaped again, he’ll miss out on the kerosene bath if he’s out too late

Still time to quit the forum

As the boards reigning poster of the year I've found my early front runner to come 2nd to me when I defend my title.

I'll check in November next year to see what you think 3200 times later.

You'll be sick of typing it...
I hope that little prefix makes its way into normal life:
"As the boards reigning poster of the year... white with one, ta."

Very strong chance

Never said it was old but that the cycle of mediocrity and endless bad decisions that the club has made is getting old.

We finally seem to be getting it right.

With Weston or Solly on the board forget about taking two steps back you would be jumping off the staircase and starting from the beginning all over again

Has there been any interviews or articles on why Solomon is running? Feel like he's the only one who hasn't put their campaign out there.
