Re: Dees01...
If the MFC membership is becoming so working class, then how come Joe got thrashed? Wasn't he meant to appeal to the common man? I would have hated Greg Sword to be on the board and no doubt this would have swayed alot of people away from MF.
What I meant was people would be guaranteed a more united board under TV. Things have been to unstable with Joe during his time.
Name the players that supported Joe. If they did surely this would have been publicised.
As for your angst against 3AW. John Burns, Neil Mitchell and Dr Turf are all supporters of the footy club and are allowed to have opinions, even if they are different to yours. As for David Hookes, Gutnick called him a racist, anti-seminist. How is he meant to feel about him?
Sponsors have their own minds you know. What a load of garbage to have that as an excuse.
Guest and other directors are allowed to support who they like and if they put their money where their mouth is, good on them.
Trust me Stormette, I have seen the light and it is not on Joe.
Robert Flower is a grown man. He is old enough to make his own decisions. Obviously you can not accept that Mr Flower did not like Joe's management style. It has nothing to do with Bill Guest. As for your comment that he would work with Joe, well surely that would be good although I would doubt it would work.Originally posted by Ms.Storm
You can't ever say I sometimes don't agree with you
1. MF couldn't do anything else, but support Robbie via their ticket. They didn't actually nominate him!! But you are right, he was TV's trump card, but unfortunately little Mr. Guest got in his ear...I actually felt sorry for Robbie in this issue as he really did not want to jump on board, but was persuaded, and even in the foyer on the night of the election, said to a girlfriend of mine he would work with Gutnick if he was elected. (I swear this is the truth Dees01..he actually did say it....and I am even more confused with his changing of his mind 3 times now)!!
2, Greg Sword....he's fantastic. and would have been great for the club if he was elected .. and you are probably right, perhaps the majority of Melb. supporters vote Liberal at this stage, but its becoming more and more a working class/middle class class membership base.
3. Sorry could not understand what you meant on this one.
4. Myself, I don't believe ex-players should be on a board unless they have exceptional qualities and qualify for a particular role, what the club needs is a good footy dept. and coach.
But concede that most supporters would not agree with me.
I know you think I know everything, but I speak the truth, there were some players (ex) who almost jumped on board with Joe, but pressure to bear by peoplesmade it practically impossible for them to join Joe.
He did have some support from ex-Reserves and U/19's players who actually came and spoke for him at his Kimberley Gardens get together.
The dirty campaign by TV and the media (e.g. 3aw and Dr. Turf and Hookes) to discredit Joe didn't help his cause.
Sponsor proxies played a huge role as well...if not for them it would have been neck and neck and had the elction been held mid-year Joe would have romped it in....
Why did Guest and ex-directors who wanted us to merge with Hawks fund TV's campaign??????????????????????
Divisive.........isn't that the tune TV played all during the campaign.
I feel sorry for Joe so much and I am embarrassed as to how he was treated by some of our so called members and ex\board members......what's the saying????
What goes around, comes around.???
One day I will get you to see the light Dees01, but it won't be
via this BB, its too long and intense an issue to debate here, but when we do, I bet you anything on this earth, you will eventually see that I am right
Cheers

which means some of your comments on Joe are absolutely wrong...and vice=versa.
