NMFC Board Elections

[King Corey]

gokangas will probably think twice before he reaches out to a fellow North member about posting here...

Don't be crude.

Edit: apologies misread how eager GK was the first time

Reach arounds are still ok!

This thread is off it's head. One lesson learnt though, do not come on here when running for a position in the board.

FWIW, as a member I want the board to deliver premierships and 11 home games in Melbourne with crowds resembling that of the Boomer 427 game.

Or if you do, don’t try to intimidate someone questioning you rather then answer their question. People might think that’s nothing but I found it both petulant and a breach of trust. I wouldn’t trust someone like that to keep their mouth shut and not run to the media if they weren’t getting their way.

Try and imagine how nuts this thread would have become if Sonja Hood actually showed up and people decided to ask her some curly questions, the likes of which FC has encountered. The double standards applied around here would be clear off the charts.

Sonja's posse: YOU CAN'T ASK THAT YOU MISOGYNIST PIG!

Chad would have a nervous breakdown.

Of course there would have been that reaction.

Another truth - you would not have given Sonja the same leniency that you have shown towards Crapper. That's a fact. So while it is important to point out the ridiculous actions of one, it's also important to realise your own.

Not only are they OK, they're encouraged, just like initiations (hazing). King Corey

I'm impressed that Paul keeps coming back on and answering questions.

Yep. A week later and 20 pages in and still responding.
Regardless of his pitch it does stand out and I know many who would have logged off and disappeared ages ago. Remains to be seen if he does stick around long term but as the last club official took his bat and ball and went home I gotta give some little props for that.

Marsh mallow shapes.

Can't wait.

I fully understand where you are coming from and I agree.

It will take time for me to get my head around the status quo, but it is an area I want to represent members on. With a focus on developing our base and ensuring NMFC’s long term, sustainable and self sufficient future as a Melbourne club.

First it will be important to examine plans, agreements and planning permits in place with the MCC and what conditions are attached to those. For all we know, there may be some conditions of what NMFC can and can’t do.

I will work with the CEO and Board members to assist in the regard, whether as a Board member or someone the Board feel they could use to assist them.

Good one, cheers.

Still here and still listening.

Are you attending the season launch?

 

[King Corey]

Are you attending the season launch?

The PM function is there for a reason.

Primarily romantic approaches of this nature.

 

[Paul Crapper]

Are you attending the season launch?

I have registered to but still stuck in the office.

 

[The Anvil]

You know that Buckley was also involved in the extension given to Brads and Arch was heavily involved in the removal of Brads? :stern look

Buckley has scalped enough heads this season to earn a redemption.

I’m not bothered either way, but isn’t Snake_Baker an alt account? Mario Lothario Teffy?

They could also be here because they love the football club and come out of hibernation when the club is in trouble.

Which is a good thing.

Or NMFC Facebook groups have gone quiet...

North fans I urge you to stand with JeanLucGoddard and not vote for Paul.

Why?

Due to things potentially uncovered whilst talking about issues completely unrelated to the North Melbourne FC?

Due to being salty because the first letter of a real name was mentioned?

I dunno. After attending the season launch I have to say I like the direction the club has been taking lately but a part of me wants to vote for Paul anyway.

They're not unrelated - you can't spruik your credentials as a reason to vote and then get upset when people apply a stress test to them.

And he still didn't answer my questions either.

Archer and Buckley are seeking re-election at this month’s annual general meeting , along with another casual board selection, Dr Sonja Hood, and independent candidate Paul Crapper.

De Rauch said the club’s decision to allow Crapper to nominate was another significant sign.

“The reason the former North Melbourne shareholders gave up their shares was to return the club’s ownership to the members and, by doing so, the members had the opportunity to have a say in its direction,” de Rauch said.

“Now at last an independent candidate has been allowed to nominate. He is a lifetime member of our club and highly experienced as a board member with numerous government contacts.”

De Rauch surrendered more than $1 million worth of club shares in 2007 and served on the board for almost two decades.

Have you voted for the independent GR?

Have you voted for the independent GR?

Yes I have.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Yes I have.

got a call yesterday in relation to Paul, to ask me and pass around to give 1 and only vote to Paul so the nmfc can at least have an independent person on the board

I’ve had a call too suggesting same thing - just vote for Paul, no others. Vote counts for more that way. Certainly a bit of lobbying.

 

[GreatBradScott]

If De Rauch is backing Paul, then I think that should be made transparent in the interest of probity.
