That's kind of what I was getting at. You suggested Winterlong was out of his depth, based only on his CV. But JB would have appeared even more out of his depth, and yet he turned out well. So to allow one and not allow the other to even face a vote seems odd.
Before JB became a board member and chairman he had been a professional sportsman, was one of Australia’s preeminent media broadcasters, had a large public profile and had connections with many people across professional sport and in the AFL proper.
Haven’t seen anything to suggest Winterlong has anything similar so far.
And I say that as someone who wasn’t a huge fan of JB.
