You're right about mathies/dunne, and whilst I agree that they have followed everything to a t,it would have looked better if the few members who voted had th opportunity for the free and Rex seats, instead they are looking at replacing two?Dunne replaced Matthies, who resigned long before Free did. As such he was never replacing free. Also if free was replaced prior to the agm it would not have gone to a vote, as his seat is up for election in 2017.
Again, rexs seat could not have been up for election in 2016, it would have been voted on in 2018.
Ryan, oneal, and Matthies/dunne was the ONLY seats due for a vote this cycle (with oneal made the board preselect). If you wanted rex and frees seats voted on, you would need a full spill via an egm
Free and Rex? Or is that wrong? If so then surely one of the losing candidates gets a gurnsey.
The protection of oneall from a vote was optically a poor look.
It's obviously an issue because it's been argued/discussed on the three forums, by different posters.
Again it's about the optics, and for a club that went backwards both on and off field in 2016 then the optics become important.
