Footy Show & Save Essendon!

[AJ_2000]

Was everyone else laughing their heads off last night along with James Hird when Hutchy showed the exclusive footage from the Save Essendon faction meeting?

One of the funniest moments in TV this year!

 

[Merv]

The whole "Save Essendon" idea is laughable

Made Hutchy look like an even bigger fool in my eyes. He is one of the main journalists who have being trying to convince everyone that the "Save Essendon Group" is gaining momentum. I had a good laugh though. I hope no one who posts on here was actually at the meeting. If you were you should be ashamed.

 

[Mighty Reds]

It was so hard to guess what demographic these clowns would be.

 

[My North]

I heard something like 17 people turned up.

 

[Bombs Away]

Hopefully thats the last we hear from these saveessendon fools. They must now realise they are trying to do the exact opposite and if they cared about our great club would just stop.

I heard something like 17 people turned up.

I think hutchy quoted that there were around 60 ppl there. But i dunno how reliable it is.

I think you answered your own question.

The Clown demographic.

Hutchy must of been out on this piss and been seeing double if he thinks there was that many.

Absolutly Hilarious stuff.

 

[dave_27]

It wasnt a meeting.

Nice one to hutchy though, apparently got quite upset after being asked to leave by a member of the rebel group.

People went in, signed their name on the document calling for a EGM to remove Horsburgh and Jackson as directors and left.

There rebel group were their for a couple of hours collecting signatures.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Was Patrick Smith there?

 

[dave_27]

I dont think everyones good mate fatprick is a member.

 

[Longy413]

I take it you were there Dave?

From my understanding, Jackson can't be removed from the board unless the constitution is changed.

The constitution now states that the CEO has a seat on the board.

An EGM cannot removed Jackson as the CEO, the board can do that though. Given this group doesn't have a ticket, it's unlikely that they'll get someone willing to get rid of PJ.

Changing the constitution requires a 75% majority vote does it not?

Good to see these people trying to change the direction of the club and make a massive impact on the clubs future actually have all the information and no what they are doing...

 

[dave_27]

I take it you were there Dave?

Nope, I dont support the calling of a EGM.

I do know and have spoken to a couple of guys who did attend last night and I have seen the document.

 

[Longy413]

Fair enough, it's interesting to see they are trying to throw out Jackson.

Are they aware that they can't?

 

[dave_27]

You'd think these guys would be on top of that if they have a clue about what they're getting themselves into.

 

[sen entertainment bloke]

So it isn't the BF Essendon Board that they are trying to wind up?

 

[hayesy_27]

yeah i was laughing as hard as hirdy was. A group of 17 old people meeting in a primary school room are going to over throw a mighty club like essendon that has been around for over a hundred year. What a joke.

 

[Longy413]

You'd think so wouldn't you...

I missed TFS last night...what was Hird's take on it?

 

[blumfieldisback]

save essendon group, pffft what a joke as if it wasnt time for sheeds to move on anyway, any other coach would have been sacked last year. i hope sheeds does well at melbourne, i hope he gets the gig first and think he should get it hands down.

 

[apollo_creed]

I was there.

The Camera came back from the shot they had of the many many people inside the meeting and then the camera went on Hird who was laughing or trying to hide his laughter, becuase of the the joke of the situation
