Roast Olsen and the board.

I have nothing against Grant Stevens , in fact i think he’s been an excellent police commissioner, but it’s really hard to understand the skills matrix strategy that AFC have for their Board composition.

I get that Balme is really the Roo replacement which makes sense but what value do we get in having 2 police commissioners on the board? How does there skill set vary enough to warrant that?

Well, why do you think they’ve done it? They must have valid reasons, even if a few of you can’t see it. Is it because of his connections? Because of his experience leading a police force? His general life experiences? His popularity with the public after Covid?

What skills should a Crows Board member exhibit?

Gallagher is having a fair bit of input into the football side as well given his previous role at St Kilda

Formerly being on the board of a successful sporting organisation, at or close to the elite level would be nice.

Absolutely. I think the football side is covered. Still don’t see why we need 2 people with police commissioner experience though. I think the board is too big . 10 is ridiculous

I think that 10 is too many . Skills should be able to be covered from 6- 8 people. Still don’t get why we need 3 people with police commissioner background.

Balme was additional as a replacement for roo so we went to 10 board members. Why are we now replacing roo again?

Feels like a mates things

It’s nothing other than his profile. He brings nothing that doesn’t already exist and reality is he brings nothing relevant. And it doesn’t look like he’s that good at his actual job anyway.

My general life experience is suffering through a club that hasn't won a flag in nearly 30 years.
 
This might come in handy if any of our players get caught in a public place with a bag of white powder. No more need to recruit good blokes from good families either. Finally we can get some bastard with a neck tattoo.
Wouldn't they be more likely to oppose the recruitment of said neck-tat player though?

Maybe when visiting teams come to town they can arrest their better players on trumped up charges then release them after the game.

Can you please name one thing that he's done anything wrong in your opinion?

Having enough 'non-football' people on a board allows those with footy experience to maintain control. It's a classic Roo tactic.

I think he is there for his profile and maybe media management but his skillset is actually fairly limited. He may have been useful with the Thebarton negotiation but that's all done

He is allowed to have interests outside of work but surprised given the current state of SAPOL that all his energy isn't going into that.
 
Steven may have been appointed to clean up the corruption at the AFC.;)😂

More likely that our police checks will be more through...

No wonder we showed no interest in Hollands.
