Hi OER community.
As the title suggest, I have nominated to run for one of the vacancies on the Board. Election notices will no doubt be in mailboxes (electronic or otherwise) soon, so please be sure to watch out for them.
If you want to read up about me, please visit my website:
www.tiger-land.com.au
I look forward to any questions, comments, suggestions or just a plain gd'day.
The website will be updated periodically, so please check back occasionally.
While I hope that you will vote for me, it is important that all members make sure their opinion is heard. Your vote will send a message to the club - keep going, or more change is necessary.
Cheers

I hope you're not related to Clinton! ;D
Thanks for giving it a go!

I'm pleased to report not. :)

Now that the election is formally open, I encourage all members to voice their opinions and vote, either for the status quo, of for change.
Ideally I would like to see two changes at the Board level, as a reflection of how the members truly feel about the performance both on-field and more generally at the Board level off-field.
Check out my action plan at http://www.tiger-land.com.au/action-plan. The down-loadable version should be available tomorrow (22 Nov)

The board chose O'Neal.
The board chose Ryan.
The board chose Dunne.
The board chose Gale.
The board will choose Free's replacement.
In the current situation the members only get to choose two of those five directors.
Take back some of the power and vote for Casey and Wallace.

Hmm, let a calm considered board decide replacements or let crazy, self entitled, rat skin cape wearing, screaming, loons choose...choices choices...

Can you sack 1 or 2 from the footy dept once you get on the board?

I would like to see Peter Casey and Simon Wallace elected to the board by the members.
Let the board make the decision between Ryan and Dunne with their little internal board election in the new year, let them take the responsibility for either toasting a past player or a woman (god forbid in this day and age).

Can see it happening, the 2 incumbents not getting re-elected that is
That makes board's decision to not use the Free resignation as a way for people to elect 3 directors thereby guaranteeing at least 1 incumbent bring re-elected and giving members a greater voice all the more...well idiotic

Don't they expect for Dunne and Ryan to get re elected and then they will appoint someone from the Malvern group to replace Free?

Yep that's what they are expecting it seems

Am I being too harsh or does that smell suspiciously like a bribe or payoff to stifle dissent.
"He brings a particularly strong skill set in areas such as ethical leadership, culture and capability, integrity and security" O'Neal said of Dunne.

No, you're on the money.
I laugh at the politics of running a stupid football club.
Where does self interest take over ?
When the people start to question their contributions.
Well, Peter, professionally speaking, they're a questionable lot and if you have half their intelligence,
you can bring the egocentric, unqualified "corporate hole club" (board) to an embarassing end.
Remember, it's not enough to win - people have to lose.
-
"I'ts not enough to win" that could be your next power ballad man
-
Sounds like your way more inspired than me.
It's yours.
-
LOL fair play. I got my korg out knockin some melodies out now, power fisting through the chorus
-
Just a heads up - I have asked the Returning Office to forward a copy of my Action Plan/Prospectus to all member. Apologies to those who have already voted or detest an avalanche of emails, or have no interest in the material.
Simon may also seek an access pathway to members so that all candidates have the ability to reach members via an RFC channel.
Cheers

To what level/extent do you think a board should be involved in on field matters?
-
Week to week, not. Year to year yes, as part of the reviewing, approving the football strategy.
There would need to be a few key touch points, but the FD would need to report monthly to the Board on execution of strategies and plans.
-
It would be like the real estate agents and the bank telling the carpenters how to build the house
-
and what a fine job the carpenters are doing at present.

So you get better carpenters, that is what has happened, I think you guys want the builder, he is still under contract.

Kerry Ryan is a lifelong Richmond supporter, passionate about delivering members the ultimate on-field success. As a first-term Board member, Kerry is seeking re-election for another term as a Richmond director.
Like all members, Kerry felt the disappointment of the Club’s on-field performance last season. She – and the entire Board – recognised change was needed and that change has subsequently been made.
Kerry played an important role as part of the Board, working with management, to oversee and implement strategic change, designed to improve all aspects of the Club's football operations. This included the appointment of highly-experienced football manager Neil Balme, the restructuring of the Football Department and the recruitment of new assistant coaches among other changes.
So Peter Casey, are you someone that will see through the above smoke screen and actually speak up and ask the hard hitting questions of this board.
i.e. as is stated in Kerry's campaign line, "Like all members, Kerry felt the disappointment of the Club’s on-field performance last season. She – and the entire Board – recognised change was needed and that change has subsequently been made.'
I direct you to the part where it states, "felt the disappointment of the Club’s on-field performance last season. She – and the entire Board – recognised change was needed"
Now, i ask this, the board actually needed the wake up call of the past season to wake up? Like really? They thought everything was hunky dory and only because of this year, they thought change needed to be made?
And these people suggest they are the can do people to take us forward? People that react instead of pro act? They hired Neli Balme on the back of a lucky break and moved a few others around and got rid of a couple of replacable cheap resources. The rest are still there is some kind of capacity, especially the coach who the people that saw change needed to be made, couldnt change because they thought everything was sweet and rosy when they handed him the 2 year extension. :banghead

We need the carpenters so we can be on top of the world....

Actually that statement is a lie, if it were true, she and the board would have acted 2 years ago. In fact it wasn't until they felt the pressure from the membership that they actually did anything.
You can quite adequately describe our current management as reactionary management not proactive management.
This has to be one of your points of difference Peter Casey and Simon Wallace, I hope you both get up.

No.
Citing the source allows readers to go check it out for themselves rather than posters only having selected sections, probably out of context.

Just received the email re: the Casey Ticket
Was it also on the clubs website?
If so at least they are inconsistent or was it a reaction to all certain emails?

Reaction from the other candidates.
Casey has already mentioned it here.
And NO, it is NOT on the club website like the two current directors.
Just a heads up - I have asked the Returning Office to forward a copy of my Action Plan/Prospectus to all member. Apologies to those who have already voted or detest an avalanche of emails, or have no interest in the material.
Simon may also seek an access pathway to members so that all candidates have the ability to reach members via an RFC channel.
We await Simon's email AND the article from both on the club website.

Simon's is in progress, but I am not so confident about the web.

And these current directors are valuable because of their attributes in Ethics and governance.
Richmond president Peggy O’Neal said of Dunne, “He brings a particularly strong skill set in areas such as ethical leadership, culture and capability, integrity and security – areas of paramount importance in the modern game.” http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2016-08-18/emmett-dunne-to-join-richmond-board
Said Richmond president Peggy O’Neal of Ryan, “She has a great understanding of corporate governance, risk management and compliance, through other boards she has served on, and corporate reviews and analysis she has undertaken.” http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2013-10-07/kerry-ryan-joins-richmond-board
It is a demonstration of their ethics and governance that they accept this unfair election process in their favour.
IF they were ETHICAL, as soon as they were aware of their PR pieces on the club website and emails they should have asked the question; "Where are the other candidates pieces?"
When the answer was that there were none planned for the two challengers, then an ETHICAL candidate would say: "Well you better take mine down until ALL candidates have the same level of support".
By comparison, on another fan forum, Simon Wallace even went to the trouble of posting a link to Kerry Ryan's website. That's ethics in action, above and beyond.
Don't just accept what the PR is, judge them on their action NOW, as current directors of the Richmond Football Club.
It's also worth noting that Dunne says of Ryan: "She has also had significant involvement with membership organisations and understands the membership ethic." http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2016-11-30/not-dunne-yet-at-tigerland
They are so understanding of the membership ethic (sic) that Dunne doesn't even mention the members in his PR piece, while on her website Ryan has NO links allowing members to communicate with her.
As can be seen by the quote from Bigtigercasey above, not only do the two challengers have websites with links via stuff and twitter but both engage on at least two fan forums that I know.
Judge them all on their actions, not what they say.
judge the Administration of the club on their actions, not what they say.

Where is the "like" button?
Well said Redan. I have had some interesting and circular conversation abut access to the RFC website. It is an interesting story, but one which I cannot elaborate in the run up to elections. If I am not successful, I will happily share the stories.
I am pleased to say, however, there is much room for improvement!
Cheers

Voted Casey and Wallace.
If anything we need robust discussion at the board level and I hate how the club has all these yes people that are always "endorsed". Being on the same page is one thing but if that page is the wrong page nobody is there to argue that point.

Me too, voted for Wallace and Casey. I don't like the look of the way the president and the current Board appear to favouring their candidates. To me it speaks of a disregard of the membership.

The attitude of the whole club in this campaign further highlights why they have lost the plot
