Running For The Board; I REALLY need your help

[DSL64]

Good luck Greg. Like most others on this board, I'd love to have the club back in the hands of the members.
Failing that, what's your thoughts on term-limits?
Personally, 6 to 8 year term for mine.

 

[b0ydman Jr]

You are a member. Send the club an e-mail for clarification. AO members should do it, too. How is it possible to be a member, but not having voting rights?

have done. Will post their reply in the AGM thread (for anyone else seeking clarity)

 

[Papa G]

Vote 1 for Greg.

 

[Steve Dore]

Good luck Greg. ....

I'm certainly voting for Greg, mainly because he's not Tom.

 

[Powerade 08]

You are starting at max bigfooty votes and every time Chewy posts you can only lose votes.

Don't need his endorsement, don't need him asking the hard questions of some random accountant in other threads.

do it on other platforms

Good luck Greg

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I'm going to get called Greg forever now aren't I...

I am happy to take support and feedback from all members. I also welcome hard questions for me and any other nominee.

The club needs more accountability less IMO and I certainly don't exclude myself from that.

We could always call you Roller.

 

[Contested Marx]

Would get my vote if I were still eligible to vote but I'm not frankly due to the incumbents on the board

So something you'll hopefully be working at changing hey Greg

 

[FishingRick04]

Im not a member anymore, decided AO membership this year so good luck. If you get top 2 remember thats an amazing effort because getting majority vote against the boards choice is mission impossible IMO.

Thanks mate. Hopefully at the very least I get a big chunk of the votes which will send a message to the club anyway given my platform.

Vote 1 for Greg.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

If you guys get confused when going to vote because you've been calling me Greg I won't be happy!

 

[Papa G]

Been on the piss too much. Didnt want this to decend into idiocy.... which i have kind of facilitated... Brett seems lile a stand up dude, his black and white stuff has always been on point, geezer is worth voting for.

When I get my voting slip, if there's no Greg on there I'll be on the phone to Kochie furiously demanding an enquiry.

We'll do our best

 

[Cosmicwinduptoy24]

Please push the agenda on a majority member elected board. Koch needs to hear that and running for the board is a great platform.

I’m philosophically in favour of a member-elected board, right up until I read some of the opinions posted on this board.

This is always the way with democracy though. It is still the best system we have.

 

[Lockhart Road]

Well bowled, Brett!

There's a wide range of members opinions but the majority who bother to vote aren't from the lunatic fringe.

You're far more likely to get a competent board member with the club's best interests at heart via a member election than one hand picked by David Koch.

1 of the last 20 flags has been won by a club that is AFL controlled. For a club that Exists To Win Premierships that should be all we need to know.

The Facts About Member Control - The Black And White Noise

David Koch likes to say that he “deals in facts” and “relies on data”. Well, when it comes to AFL controlled clubs, the data is in, and it is irrefutable. Only one of the clubs that The Governance Institute of Australia defined as “AFL owned clubs” has won a premiership since 2005. With Sydney...

Under David Koch we exist to chase carbon neutrality and make finals half the time.

If you do, you should get an invite to some other role

Didn't kill us pre AFL

Didn't kill us pre AFL

For over 100 years when we were the most successful club in Australia.

I think the last 20 years of AFL premiers is more relevant though. It shows that it is not the relic from the past that some would make it out to be.
