Roast Sack Ricciuto

[MRB37]

Isn't Roo's term up next Feb 2025 and I stand corrected but isn't it a maximum of 10 years term. I thought he was appointed around 2014 (hoping anyhow)

That is what Silvers said on Friday.

The thing that sh*ts me with Ricciuto is the ARROGANCE.

Arrogantly tells fans to be 'patient' and 'stick with us'

Arrogantly thinks fans are dunce's and unaware of the litany of failings at the club. Giving us the full mushroom treatment.

Arrogantly thinks fans will fall for the 'injury' excuse.

Arrogantly thinks he has all the right people in all the footy roles.

Arrogantly gets on Fox Footy at our games and talks up Laird and Crouch as "getting it done in the midfield all year".

His tentacles are all through the football department at the club (whether directly or indirectly) and he needs to go ASAP.

It's not indirectly, he chairs the list management and football strategy committees. The other people on those committees;

Tim Silvers
CFO
Adam Kelly
Matthew Nicks
Hamish Ogilvie
Justin Reid

Where's the sharpness? It's just a bunch of duds getting together determining our overarching football strategy and the players required to deliver it. We've got no hope.

Arrogance, performes a "whole of club review" that conveniently doesn't include itself.

Just like Silvers "we hold each other accountable as a list management committee" comments on Friday.

If I hold myself accountable not to eat all the ice cream on Friday night I wake up Saturday morning with no ice cream in the freezer.

Arrogance, performes a "whole of club review" that conveniently doesn't include itself.

The best bit about that was when Chappy told us all that the reviewers considered him an "elite chairman". What a snivelling little coward that guy was.

 

[1970crow]

No, he can only serve maximum of 12 if he has also been an elected member and given he came on board in 2014 he can’t exceed 2026 and as term limits are 3 years he can’t be reappointed in 2025 as his term limit would be 2028 , 14 years which is a no no.

How do you know that you can't serve 4 terms as elected and 4 terms as appointed? Is there reference to that in the new constitution?

 

[1970crow]

He is an appointed director so the maximum term is 12 years however as he joined the board in 2014 he can’t be appointed for another 3 years otherwise he would have served 14 years (term would finish in 2028) which would be a clear breach of our Constitution. In saying that I wouldn’t put it past him to do a shonky deal with the AFL.

Elected directors like Goodings have maximum of 8 years and if an appointed and elected director then it is 12 years.

Now here is food for thought and wouldn’t put it past this club. Roo could become Chairman inn2027 after Olsens term concludes and Roo could be Chairman for 3 years and you can serve as Appointed Director and Chairman for a total of 15 years.

Refer Clause 23 (page 19).

thanks for the link, I see it does deal with it.

Arrogance, with nothing to back it up.

That is what Silvers said on Friday.

Yeah was appointed in 2014, so should mean this is is final term.

Arrogance, with nothing to back it up.

I’ve said a few times the club doesn’t care about its members, but it actually is worse than that: they are actively hostile toward members.

They see members as a nuisance, a necessary ($$$) evil.

I was an inaugural member and stopped this year. I bought a $35 membership to get 30% discount off games and I’m still counted as an inaugural member. What a joke.

Bought Sydney game a few weeks ago which I’m spewing about, last game of the year for me.

You think that's funny, I'm flying to Brisbane for the Gabba game....

Honestly I wouldn’t go, go to the strippers instead

 

[Pugsley]

I can't believe I once started a thread pleading for him to get involved with the club. FFS.

It's all your fault

My son will be there yelling at Rory Laird to learn how to kick.
