Opinion Running for the board

[Portwrld]

Does anyone know how the 50+1 rule works in the Bundesliga? Would it work for the AFL?

50 + 1 would work if AFL clubs were privatised; however, since 1992, the AFL hasn‘t been privatised.

No

My guess it would be exceptionally difficult to get the votes now, they know who to put up to squash any new comers

Good. We dont need another bloody accountant on the board

I agree with you Rick. I also think we need to start working together to put forward candidates regardless of the likelihood of winning. While I'm not the right person to be in the hot seat, I'm certainly the right person to sit behind the scenes and help craft a campaign strategy.

If REH, or anyone else for that matter, was willing to put their hand up, I would back that in with help getting things together to present a strategy for the common goal; back to member control.

Hi

I've had a few people ask about running for the board. So instead of sending the same message privately, here is the information.

Surprisingly the club sends out notification to run, you fill it out. They cant stop you.

When i ran i met KO and KT after putting in a small CV.

Obviously they are there to gauge your professionalism and experience, what you would contribute. They knew about the podcast etc I had active board experience which assisted with a NFP.

Applicants go into a same pages selection process, so I didnt find marketing that pages being to beneficial.as its marketing all runners.

Obviously bogfoot support, the podcast followers really supported me, forever greatful. I got 22% of the votes. THEILE got 45 i think, but my skew was enough to have them impressed or worried. I suspect like alotmof boards the members would do the calling to influence their member contacts who to vote for.

As my % of vote was significant They offered me a spot on the marketing committee with some other external advisors with employees and 2 board members. Cardone ended up shutting it down, shame.

Running against a former player would be tough IMO as they would be the shiny toy to a kid. Around 3,000 members voted in mine, I think last year got 10k.

All the best and good luck

Sorry not wearing my glasses and you guys can work it out

Sharpen up your spelling and grammar or get off the turps !

I don't know how long the average PAFC board meeting goes for, but I reckon REH could turn them into marathons and have the kokmeister squirming in his chair!

Charts and Spreadsheets off the Woohoo Scale !

Expat should run because he would blend in nicely with the current group of assorted vegetables.

I can wear mine that I bought from George at West Lakes circa 1994.

It's more of a vest nowadays though.

It's OK, Tom Jonas has put his hand up.

 

[Ljc_86]

Yuck another Yes man who won’t challenge opinions and will settle for mediocrity.

We need ownership of the club back asap

 

[Visenfest]

It's OK, Tom Jonas has put his hand up.

Will look good on his CV. Won't be of any benefit to the club though.

Well thank god for that. We were really in danger of having another pointless Koch plant.

Oh.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Anyone else running for a seat is gonna get bashed by Jonas

 

[bomberclifford]

There will be other options. Jonas is an ok guy but not sure he’s right for the board.

Just like the last guy...

Nah, he is only good at snipping.

Domenic Cassisi and Bruce Abernathy wont run against Jonas apparently.

Is this from a reliable source?
