Opinion Running for the board

[Tibbs]

I have no issue with Jonas supporting club decisions, and his coach. Career suicide not too. But let's face it, he went beyond that! He actively and gleefully joined in the gaslighting of the "white noise" supporters, and rather than just supporting his coach, he aligned himself with the Sect of Hinkley.

Major contributor to the division that still exists in the club ... He gets no support and sympathy from me.

Exactly. That’s why he won’t be getting my vote.

Does anyone have that link to Jonas skiing with the “living my best life” or whatever bullshit he posted?

 

[PowerLil]

Nobody who spent the majority of their career under Hinkley should be on our board right now.

This.

 

[Schulzenfest]

This will cost us a generation.

Good. It's not a generation we want hanging around.

That was less than a month before the co-captaincy announcement, and 4.5 years since we'd won a final.

I'm not really sure this is the gotcha we think it is. Hot take players should be able to do shit during the off season. Even "risky" activities like skiing or mountain biking. If they get injured ultimately they're the ones shortening their careers and earning potential. I'd rather they rock up in good spirits than be miserable.

Nah. Miserable? Too bad, too sad. If you sign a contract, you play to your ability/potential, particularly when signing a long term contract. Risky leisure activities can be done when retired.

Nah that's a boomer take these days. Craig mcrae won a flag on a relatively mediocre list based on vibes.
Our problem wasn't players being allowed to do stuff, it was more the mentality kerny installed that finals are scary and hard and it doesn't matter if you lose.

Boomer take or not the more money that comes the more stipulations will start appearing in contracts re activities away from the club.

You know, Ollie's injury didnt worry me too much ... Young player having fun in the off-season with his mates. Goes too far. Lesson learned, and cops the critism on the chin.

I have even less issues with Jonas going skiing ... Grief! I go skiing every year, and have never had an injury yet, besides a bent ego from time to time!

What is a major issue is that pic & post by Jonas, and the timing of it. He was giving a big middle-finger to everyone that dare question their commitment to football and the club

Right back then we could clearly see what kind of a person he was.

Dennis Rodman was on a squillion a year and they still couldn't stop him flying to Vegas and snorting coke off a strippers ****

Then you had Rodman and Malone doing WWE stuff while on 10mill plus a year

Yeah maybe we shouldn't be basing our expectations for player behaviour off of Kim Jong-Un's best mate and a literal paedophile.

We could have Bevan Spencer Von Eminem and the snowtown fellas in the forward line if it meant we won a flag

joking.. a little bit

Dennis Rodman 5 rings
Tim Jonas zero cups

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

What has Jonas done post footy that is board worthy though?

I know someone mentioned he had a law degree but has he actually been a lawyer?

Rodman was/is bat shit crazy, but when it time came to put everything on the line to win he did. Jordan was a harder taskmaster than the coaches. You look at how he treated Longley from not understanding his personality, rather than Longley actually not giving all. If he'd thought Rodman wasn't all in, he'd have busted his arse.

Who can honestly say they think Jonas was serious about a premiership? Rodman 'earned' the right to be crazy, Jonas didn't do anything to justify 'living his best life'.

Tim Jonas zero cups

Hot tip. Don't google "two captains, no cups" unless you're into seeing people being exploited to perform degrading acts.
