Tricked ya, nah really, which club has the best President?

And which club has a President you have never heard of?



See ya - JOFFA-

Definately the best has to be Ian Dicker.

He has done so much for the club since '96, I don't think anyone can argue with that. And surprise surprise, he LISTENS to the members, requests for the draw are based on when our fans want to attend footy, and consideration is put into the interstate supporters - the request for Saturday games has meant that people interstate like myself get to watch the hawks on free to air TV most weeks. I could continue to bore you all sensless rambling about why Dicker is the best - but I'm sure my fellow supporters would like to contribute too


I don't think I can name one single president outside of Victoria.

 

[The Hitman]

Ian Dicker for sure is the best...so many reasons, and isn't a drunk, doesn't have conflict of interest, and listens to the fans.

As for knowing the prez's...let's see:

Adelaide: Dunno
Brisbane: Andrew Ireland, or is he the CEO?
Carlton: John Elliott
Collingwood: Eddie Mc
Essendon: Graham McMahon I think...
Freo: Who cares...they should be sacked anyway!
Geelong: Frank Costa
Hawthorn: Ian Dicker
Melbourne: I don't even think they know at the moment, and I can't spell his surname
Kangaroos: Aylett?
Port: Dunno
Richmond: Casey...and he is a dill for resigning Spud
St. Kilda: Rod Butters
Sydney: Richard Colless
West Coast: Dunno
Western Bulldogs: Smorgan

 

[Stucey]

You did well to name that many, but I'm sure someone out there knows them all, without looking it up

Billy, a few more great goals on the weekend, he's averaging about 2 a game. Well done No.1

Dicker for me....the facts speak for themselves...took over a club with a debt of $1 million and 12,000 members and now has the club heading for a profit of $1 million and over 30,000 members.

Also has UNBELIEVABLE passion for his club - quite happy to head down to Box Hill and stand on the hill with the yobbos - works tirelessly.

My favourite stories about Ian Dicker - when offered an appearence fee for appearing on Football Focus he said no thanks, I don't want any money, give it to the club instead.

The other is when he walked into the members area on the outer wing at Waverley during that last game against Sydney, and the whole crowd gave him a standing ovation...truly wonderful stuff.

For the other clubs....umm, Elliott and McGuire annoy me but they certainly do a good job for their clubs....But Elliott must make Carlton supporters cringe at times.

Smorgon and Buttress are OK, Greg Miller fights hard for his club.

Frank Costa is a good president I think, he gives a lot of time to the Cats.

Melbourne might as well not have a president, such a joke is their board. I lost a lot of respect for Clinton Casey and Graham McMahon this year after the Libba and Colonial incidents respectively.

Richard Colless is an AFL lackie...can't stand him. How can you have someone in charge of an AFL club as well as a state commission...conflict of interest anyone?

As for the others, I couldn't name them...I think Adelaide is Bob Hammond but I'm not sure.

But clearly Ian Dicker for me, and I don't think I am biased in saying that.

 

[Stucey]

I remember the last game out at Waverly Park and he came up in the Members section and got an even bigger cheer than some of the players. Good on him.

How much did we beat Sydney by that day?

About 85 points, pity we couldn't do it last week.

 

[Stucey]

Eddie would have to be the most public President with Elliot being the biggest di ckhead, no offence

The Chairman of the Brisbane Lions is Graeme Downie. He took over after the death of Alan Piper last year. Alan Piper took over at the end of 1998 from Noel Gordon. Andrew Ireland is the CEO.

Just as a matter of interest Dyson Hore-Lacy is still the chairman of the Fitzroy Football Club. Next year will be his tenth year in the job. (apart from a small enforced break from May to November 1996.)

Stu mate

I think Ian Dicker too. He has just done so much for the club. He deserves all the recognition he gets. And just to tell you all. This is my 400th post so Ive prepared a little speech lol.

Id like to thank the following people.

Channel 2,7,9 and 10 news- They helped me escape from the TV with their utter crap.

My mother and father- For buying the internet access that gets me on to Bigfooty.

Dan25- For making ****ty posts that i can reply too.

Thankyou all.

Greg Boulton has been the Port Adelaide Football clubs president since 1993.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Don't forget the McAllister Medal voting next Satdy morning on the Coodabeens!

My money's on Clinton "laws of libel" Casey, although Big Jack's making a late bid with his impending playing comeback at Old Carey.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Gotta be a tie between the presidents of West Coast and Fremantle - they never make stupid comments in public, they don't bore other people to tears with their one eyed views while in other roles, and don't feel the need to drag the club to the brink of chaos to fuel their own egos...


Oh, that's right, we don't HAVE presidents, do we? Explains why they do such a stellar bloody job


(No, we've got the WAFC instead. They only do stupid things as a collective...)
