This hopefully is a joke but from 'Hoof Hearted' on BF....
Apparantly, word has it that at the close of nominations on Tuesday afternoon, there was one nomination to stand against the current three incumbents who are up for re-election. He is a 75 year old.
So all the members will get a ballot with the four names on it and from which three will be elected. I think this is the case
He( the 75 yo) would want to make a good case for mine as this is costing the club some 55k to run the election.

I don't think that $ number is correct
An EGM vote maybe, but not for a regular vote at an AGM

Sorry Infamy, that number would be about right.
First cost is returning officers which would come from the Club's auditors (Price Waterhouse IIRC - they aint cheap). Included in their fee would be the cost for the mail out to all members with voting rights - this includes all adult non-ticketed members....
Trust me they cost about $50k to run :thumbsup
-
What are they giving away bottles of grange for each vote or something ? :santa
-
To drown our sorrow Owl? ;D
So is there even is fraction of truth to this rumour as it sounds complete garbage? Maybe the old bloke thinks 55k is small change compared to the millions we've spent on dud players/coaches' contracts over the years lol.

If the contents don't work we could always wallop ourselves with the bottle.

I think that the club needs to respect the democratic process. The nonsense of the previous years especially during the casey miller years where people where discouraged to stand was a disgrace. If he has decent ideas and its better than the other candidates then I will vote for him. Give Richmond back to the people!

From the original poster of this on Big Footy.
Anyone else get their ballot papers today, as predicted by the hoof last week?
Can anyone here enlighten us a bit more on this?
-
I believe Hoof Hearted is the previously know clown called Sausage Roll who enjoys amking up these rumours with no substance.
-
It's actually true.
Rex Chadwick is the challenging candidate. I'll post all 4 candidates spiels shortly when I scanned them in.

Rob Dalton
Having served as director for five years - as Chairman of the Club's Audit and Risk Committee and, currently, as Treasurer - I seek your support for Board re-election.
For over 15 years, I have been a Senior Partner at Ernst & Young. I am a life-long Tiger and an inaugural "Richmond Executive" member.
I am proud of the Club's financial turnaround, resulting in record profits.
This has enabled us to build $20million elite training facilities and ensured long-term security.
To achieve sustained success, the Club needs a stable Board and strong financial expertise.
I look forward to your support.

Anthony Mithen
I have served Richmond for six years concentrating my efforts on media, I fundraising, membership, sponsorship and representing the common sense Richmond fan.
With a strong background in media, both television and radio, I feel we have made strong change for the better to now be viewed as a united, professional club on the rise, with strong profits and a football plan that is dynamic and modern.
With finances and club facilities now assured, our club needs stability and a consistency to ensure this regime finishes the job by demanding we return to a playing field powerhouse through honest, transparent processes.

Maurice O'Shannassy
When I was elected to the Club's Board in 2004 our finances were in a very precarious position.
Today, as Club vice-president and member of the finance committee, I look back with pride at our achievements these past five years:
* Substantial profits
* Increased football department spending
* Embarked upon the $20million Punt Road redevelopment.
* Key personnel and structural changes, which will set us up for sustained success.
With 25 years of business and financial experience, including as the CEO of BlackRock Investment Management, I seek your support to continue using those skills and experience on the Board.

Mithen- Out
Chadwick- In
Its time for some change and I think that O'Shannessy and Dalton should stay.

Fancy anyone from the media purporting to represent common sense! :wallywink :help

With his marketing background it would seem Mithen's responsibilities would be the best fit for Chadwick.
-
Chadwick is probably a year early if he wants to get on the Board. If March steps down next year then the Club will need a replacement.

I would be surprised if March stands down at the end of 2010 now - Benny Gale has commented that he's asked March to stay on
About the "election"....
Actually this is now interestng for me at least as I know Rex. Good bloke.
-
Mithen - Out
Rex - In
But we must be careful not to lose Maurice or Dalton

LOL chadwick merchandising is next door to where I work

After reading the voting papers today that arrived in the mail.
I aint very enthused about the people who are standing for election.
The candidate statement hardly excites me I am afraid.
They all want to hang there hat on the $20 Million Redevelopment. ::) How much are the government putting in ???
They dare not mention the mess the current footy side of the business is, with the worst list in league
They dont mention they had the clown and his circus running the footy side of things for the past 5 years :banghead
As for Anthony Mithen, :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
He is laughable, he says he represents the common sense Richmond Fan, :thatsgold :chuck ( is there such a thing )? LOL
We need hard hitters on the board, we need decision makers, not fence sitters.
No good having money boys if you cant get a kick on the field. ::)
-
I have no problem with Dalton or O'Shannassey on the board and hope they stay.
Mithen I don't think does too much or have much credibility, if there is a worthy candidate to take his place then I have no problem voting him out.
-
It makes it hard to vote when there's little detail of what a candidate brings to the table in the pamphlet provided. Will a change bring in new money, new sponsors, new resources, new/better ideas, etc? It may very well but you can't tell from the spiel provided. Will this sort of info be provided and organised by the candidate himself as was done in 2004? It's not as though idiot Pratt or some well known wealthy businessman with deep pockets and a strong knowledge of running a football club has walked through the door.
-
Mithen has very little credibility. Even his appointment was kind of shoddy. Didn't it happen the night of Rich v Coll in rd 1 2004 and Casey summoned him to the Pres dinner from the stands where he was sitting with his family. They had to find a tie for him to wear as well.
I think we all have our reservations on the media part of his characteristic.
-
I contacted Rex Chadwick by email to seek more info about him and he has kindly allowed his reply to be posted on OER.
Dear MT,
I have attached a brief bio of my involvement with the Tigers.
I hope some of your web site readers will find it interesting.
I believe it is time to introduce some new blood on the Tiger Board.
Cheers,
Rex
Rex Chadwick
Rex is one of only 144 Yellow & Black members of the Richmond Football Club. He has been a member of Jack’s Club for the past six years and has been a member of The President’s Club and The Coterie.
He has been and is currently a major donor to the Jack Dyer Foundation which helps fund the building of facilities at Punt Road. To complete the association with the famous Jack Dyer, Rex owns the car number plates RFC 17 – the number proudly worn by Jack in 317 games for the tigers.
Apart from always being ready to strongly support the Tigers in fund raising Rex has been a major donor of equipment and fittings at Tigerland. Almost every office and meeting room in the football department and administration area has a white board – Rex donated most of them. He donated and arranged fitting of all of the mirrors in the gymnasium; he supplied furniture for the player’s recreation room and a few years ago, was a major contributor to the player’s trip to London. He sponsors a player at our affiliate club – Coburg Tigers and last year sponsored the Best Individual Performance of the Century, awarded to Kevin Bartlett as one of The Top Ten Tiger Treasures of the Century. Rex is a foundation member of the Tommy Hafey Club and a major contributor toward our rookie draft
Rex has been a dedicated Tiger all of his life. Recent re-organisation of his business work-load enables him to commit to the hours he believes that are necessary to make a worthwhile contribution to lift the Tigers back to our rightful place as a power house in the AFL.
Rex has a strong advertising/marketing background working with some of the largest international companies both here and overseas. He is the director of his own successful merchandising company and will work tirelessly for renewed success.
“We are (for a short while) custodians of this famous club and must strive to leave it a better place than the one we found.”
