I started this thread because it has been mentioned that there is no thread into which supporters can post comments about the PAFC Board. It seems a little unfair to post general comments about the Board into a thread which is intended to relate to an individual Board Member. If there is a thread somewhere in the system the moderators should feel free to resurrect, merge or scrap this one.
 
I've heard several players and coaches talk about what a strong part she played in the establishment of our AFLW team. It sounded like she had a lot of personal involvement with everyone and seems to be very well regarded.
Excellent, so hope that's correct. We need board members who work hard, are genuine & have a strong desire plus the ability to improve the performance of our club.

What was your favourite bit? Mine was the dancing with Richard Branson.

The splicing in of any mildly complimentary words spoken about her was a particular highlight. Some were clearly removed from their original context and almost comically edited.

Did she talk about how to setup a better forward structure?
lol

On a serious note she says "disband this idea that we have to wait til the magical point at which we get the authority to drive change"

Pretty much the exact polar opposite of the board's approach of total stability, no change ever, don't push the envelope and hopefully one day the AFL will be nice to us or we'll get lucky in a season.

She probably read it on a fortune cookie

For a supposed 'disruptor', it's surprising that Holly has stuck around so long on such a moribund, risk averse board, although the AFLW project probably kept her interest.

Those are...um...some...words...?

Management speak is a curse we seem forced to endure.

If she brought that up at a Board meeting, Kochie would spend 45 minutes berating her and bombarding everyone in the room with inconsequential statistics and rhetoric, designed to torpedo such risk saturated thinking, whilst extolling the virtues of stability (to the point of becomic stale, and rooted in a mire of doing the same thing over and over again whilst praying for a different result).

That "normalisation" process would have had the effect of marmalising her brain cells to the point of stumbling in abject capitulation to his mesmeric dominance, and in exasperation, she would complicitly fall in with the other sheep.

What Holly says, vs what she actually does probably has a vast gap. Typical in people with little experience. Know theoretically what works, but in actuality don't really know how to put it into practice.

Yes yes yes. Those ****ing bullshit artists who profess to know exactly what it takes to be super super successful in this field or that, absolute experts that have that magic elixir for success, yet don't actually do it themselves. I've been to lots of conferences and business coaching sessions where these charlatans, get up and tell you how to do it. Always walk away thinking "if its so bloody easy, why aren't you doing it?" Holly seems quite good and asking the right questions and defenitely has very good sense of the zeitgeist, but what is she actually creating outside Brand Holly?

Can she provide evidence to where she actually put what she says into work, with demonstrated results?

She does a lot of "this is how you should do it" rather than "This is how I did it to get X and Y result"
