Don't know many of the present board members' backgrounds very well.

Question, who is the best candidate for Pres? Any ideas and why?
 
Democracy at work. The members have spoken, blame has been apportioned, now we move forward with the elected board. IMO, Greg Lee should be encouraged to stand for the presidency & hopefully elected with a unanimous vote. The new board has a good cross section of experience, although I'm not sure what an ex-political adviser can offer to a football club board. Now lets hope we can see some unity from the board & we can stay out of the papers, other than articles about our up & coming stars. With one particular person gone, we hopefully won't see anymore leaks in the future (other than when those disgusting toilets in the Pratt Stand back up).

Three weeks until the NAB Cup, eight weeks until the home & away season. I look forward to reading about football, football & more football.
 
Consider this.

Our finance officer warned that unless carlton did something drastic, or, the proposed redevelopment goes through we face losing carlton. The redevelopment was Smorgans baby, along with his business partners. With him gone so is the redevelopment. This leaves us in a situation where our only chance of survival may rest on a massive donation from the Pratts of this world or a miracle.

Not saying I wanted Smorgan in there, don't really care. The point is, with him gone, we now face extinction.

Smorgon and Rose can still sit on the investment board, for the sake of the club at least.

Carlton Football Club.

Killed by its own supporters.

Kind of ironic really.

G'day guys,

What a interesting evening. The members have voted and gees where do we go to from here? We needed another fresh start and we got it. We need a figure head leading our club and to be honest I can't see someone in that group standing out. Maybe it's my lack of knowledge of the candidates.

There has been enough talking the talk it's time to walk the walk, there has been stories of backers coming and saving the club, the members have skittled the board that have brought shame to our proud club over the past 4 years. What we need now is a strong powerful figure head to lead our mighty club.

The board resembles a boat without a sail, we need a strong leader who will not take crap from the AFL and stand up to them (the like of Eddie and Jack)

It’s time for the powerbrokers to come out of the woodworks and support the club as have the humble supporter and members. Whatever happens there is a new era down at Princess Park, and we as supporters & members etc. must be fully behind these guys because in a couple of years we’ll be kicking some heads in and it will be payback time.

Car’n the MIGHTY BLUE

Are you happy with the outcome MS?
I detect a bit of sarcasm in your post.
 
I heard once Smorgan goes, up to 1/2 a dozen wealthy supporters and prominent businessmen are prepared "assist" where they can.
I don't know which member of the new board is the best candidate for President at this stage. Sounds like Greg Lee is the most popular, but what is his background?Does anybody know of other board members'backgrounds?
I would imagine that the new board would come from various business backgrounds, with plenty of experience and business acumen to get us out of this mess.
By the way, does this mean we still have Malouf as the CEO?

Unfortunately Malouf stays. But considering he is Smogon's mate, who knows how long he will last. Good riddance to both of them I say. Time for a fresh start!!!

Not necessarily.

Think about it. We have a fresh start. Anything can happen from here. One thing that won't happen is, we will not fold or merge or relocate.

Can't see him lasting for much longer BG. He'd be on borrowed time I reckon.
