A message from the President
6:33 PM Thu 12 June, 2008
A message from the Richmond FC President, Gary March:
I am pleased to announce the appointment of former captain and dual club best and fairest winner, Tony Free, to the Richmond Board.
Tony was a talented, tough, extremely competitive on-baller, with enormous courage. He worked his way through the ranks at Richmond – from under 19’s to seniors- all in one year (1987). Tony’s outstanding leadership qualities were recognised when he was appointed the Tigers’ senior captain in 1994 and he retained the captaincy until his premature retirement due to severe knee problems at the start of 1997.
Tony will be a tremendous asset as the club continues to grow and move forward. The board has been searching for some time for a contemporary player who will help the club build its young list. At only 38 years of age, Tony possesses both the youth and experience required. He brings to the role a track record as a successful businessman as the owner and operator of a small business. Tony also spent time working in sports management with Advantage International. His football acumen combined with his business experience will be a fresh and exciting addition to our club.
Tony will fill the casual vacancy created by the recent retirement of Greg Miller. I join my fellow board members in paying tribute to the continued tireless service of Greg Miller. Greg joined the board at a very difficult time in our history almost four years ago.
Greg’s appointment helped create stability and he was instrumental in developing planning processes that are still in place today. With Tony now stepping up to the board, Greg will be able to concentrate on his role as General Manager of Football Operations. As we continue to expand and grow our football department, Greg’s experience and knowledge in this area will be vital.
Gary March

Tony Free has joined the board, Miller gone!

On a side note Browny on the Footy Show Panel tonight also towing the party line.
-
thats a different story to the rumour that i heard. and the rumour pertains to something else that may happen at the club shortly.
for what its worth
ive been just 1 of many people who have been calling for Miller to quit the board.
An EXCELLENT and PROPER DECISION by the club to Appoint FREE and retire GREG Miller from the board.
-
He's still involved in Football operations though :banghead
-
Miller said ages ago he would likely step down from the board rather nominate again when due this year. :sleep
Great to have Tony Free back at the club. :thumbsup
Ramps, if your rumour is CS he has to stand out for 6 months. Still a while to go (if that rumour has legs).
-

It is great that Tony Free is back, hopefully we can get people like Neil Balme back as well, that could change the mentality of the joint.
As for CS - I think I know who your referring to but im not sure, Its another rumour.
RFC - the club where there are millions of rumours lol ;D
-
He's still involved in Football operations though :banghead
thats what i was thinking HT..I dont want to see this guy at all...he has done enough damage..
freezer though coming back is great news.
first ex tiger to come back is that right..
-
Is CS Cameron Schwab?
I hope not :help
-
Freezer coming back is sensational news for the footy club.
When Freezer was cut down by injury he was captain of the footy club so hopefully he can entice Richmond people of solid character like his from his era as well as others to come back to the footy club in some sort of capacity.
Yeah I'm with you Daniel the guy is a self righteous fraud and the sooner his services are withdrawn from the club the better.
-
Is CS Cameron Schwab?
I hope not :help
I have bad memories of what our football club was like when he was a young ceo. it wasnt his fault, but its fair to say we have never really gotten ourselves out of the malaise that we seem to be in. Im not a big fan either, I agree with Moi.
-
When I worked at the club as a volunteer, it was during his era.
The perception around the club then, from what I can gather, everyone hated him.
His 2IC Vickers was an even bigger C than apparently CS was.
He was always nice to me, I have to say that, but staff morale appeared to be zero.
-
I can just see Caro madly typing away for her editorial tomorrow :whistle :-\ ;D
Whoa - earth shattering stuff this
:cheers
-
Hopefully at seasons end, Greg leaves the club on good terms and we can get someone like Neil Balme to come back and head football operations.

yeah i agree, no chance of balme coming to punt road.
he wouldn't be that stupid to go from the pies, then to geelong then to the tigers...
i hope freezer helps makes a stand and ofload miller at season's end.
what the hell has he done really??
-
its just the start ;)
-
WTF Is Tony Free gonna do?
Tell me?
WTF has he done in the last 15 years?
What are his qualifications at board level.
This is just another case of giving the unqualified a chance to make some money
GMAFB !!! :banghead
Tell me -WTF Is he going to do?
Sprinkle Fary dust because he's an ex player ?
PLEEEASE. :P

na mate its good news seeing him back at the club.
im not sure we ever had a ex player jump on the board so its a big plus.
freezer was our captain dont forget and barring injury would have been a 250 game player.
i am more than happy with his inclusion
-
Jeff Hogg was our captain too.
Your point?
IMO He gives as much of a stuff about us as Hoggy and is not as qualified.
-
im not sure we ever had a ex player jump on the board so its a big plus.
Peter Welsh, Tony Jewell, Neville Crowe, and I'm sure there are many others.
-
Corporate qualifications ?
Anybody ??
-
lol so much for the "breaking news story".
lyon: So hutchy how did you come across this exclusive story?
hutchy: I found it on richmondfc.com.au at 630pm...
how funny i just read this...hutchy is struggling at the minute with his breaking news crap..
-
Yeah, absolutely earth shattering newsflash this. Miller did what he said he intended at the start of the season and we have a new board member who is an ex-player. Wouldn't create a ripple at most other clubs but watch the Chicken Little's on here carry on as though it's Armageddon.
-
The past 4 years is probably the only time the club hasn't had an ex-player on the board, Danno.
-
What's Free's qualifications to put him in this role?
I agree with Ox if he has none.
Favourite son sure, but stuff up the footy department because that's his only qualificiation that he played for us, God help us.
And from reading his comments on Y&B, for memory, he doesn't like Wallace.
So where to now?
He's more than welcome to tell me I'm wrong on Wallace, but for memory that's what I read.
-
Is CS Cameron Schwab?

agree wholeheartly, had an interesting convo with a certain person from the Fremantle football club, something along the lines of money from sponsorship for a 4/5 year period has been frittered away within a couple of years...he tends to leave some mess where ever he has been. :whistle

nail on the head.
-
I don't know what qualifications he's got other than what's in the press release.
What is he supposed to have?
If he's been selected by the current board and management then that's good enough for me.
-
Miller's conflict of interest is now resolved and club governance is able to operate without conjecture.
Welcome back Tony, if your son gets a Father-Son opportuity, the Francis Bourke principle should not apply because you are not on the match selection commitee.
-
If he's been selected by the current board and management then that's good enough for me.
Why? After knowing how he feels about Wallace, you have no questions?
You're smarter than that I know, so why are you happy with it?
Is the board agreeing to it because others were going to cause disruption if Tony wasn't appointed?
Was there some underlying threats made to the current board to get them to agree?
There's certainly been rumblings to the effect around here for 2 years, I have no doubt this is the case that people are exerting influence on the board in one form or another. I know, I've seen emails.
It stinks. They weren't elected to the board yet they have this influence.
I only see disaster here with two egos and "hot heads" coming together.
Heaven help us :help
-
This is a terrible decision, we now have a board member who has an agenda
It's only going to create instability at the club when we've been so strong off field for the past 3 years
No problem with Miller stepping down as he said he would, but I feel this is just going back to our bad old days of infighting
This club is screwed up
-
I hope I'm not meant to answer the conspiracy theory questions because I can't. I can answer the first two.
Yeah, I know his opinion of Wallace. It's just an opinion. I also know he's a mad tiger fan. Maybe I'm gullible but I trust people. I trust Tony to do the right thing by the club.
That probably answers the 2nd question. I trust the judgement of the people who have selected him. I also trust that they selected him because he's the best person and for no other reason.
That's just me.
Will anyone answer my question?
What qualifications should he have?
An agenda, hey Infamy? How so?
Where has he stated what he'll do?
-

If he's in charge of list management, some list management experience.
If he's in charge of the football department, being in charge of a football department before wouldn't go astray.
It's more his open stance against the current regime which I am highly suspicious of. Can only lead to no good and I'm surprised people who I thought would at least question this aren't.
-
Pathetic.
Heart-on-sleeve media stunt.
You can't have it both ways boys. If you want the club to be professional then you can't put a rank amateur on the board.
-
If he's in charge of list management, some list management experience.
If he's in charge of the football department, being in charge of a football department before wouldn't go astray.
It's a casual position on the board. It doesn't say in the press release what his role will be.
I can't question what I don't know.
-

You do know he doesn't like Wallace though.
No questions?
Nothing at all?
No qualms, everything will be okay?
Gee, I wish I was that confident.
-
Yes, I know that. I understand your concern.
I've also answered it from my perspective.
I don't understand the other things, particularly how anyone can say he's not qualified without knowing if he is or what the actual qualifications are.
-
Well, when we find out about his qualifications, we can question them then.
Until then, Miller is off the hook.
Everything that happens now is on Free and he is responsible
I hope he can hack it!
-
The past 4 years is probably the only time the club hasn't had an ex-player on the board, Danno.
Technically Miller was an ex-player at Richmond too (ressies IIRC) to answer Daniel's question.
Anyway it must be a slow news day if this is Hutchy's breaking story even though it was on the RFC website first lol. Browny taking off a Eurovision look-a-like was more interesting ;D.
Freezer will be on the footy subcommittee if he's replacing Miller. In essence he'll have the job of overseeing the selection of the senior coach and football department that will take the current youngsters into their prime years. That's a massive responsibility.
The appointment does appease the likes of Caro who wanted more "Richmond people" and ex-players on the board.

That adds weight to Moi's concern, if that is his role.
As I already said, I have faith that he's professional enough to do what is best for the club.
He has said previously that if his son is drafted he would temper his opinion of Wallace in the best interest of all concerned. Can't see why he wouldn't do the same now.
-

And haven't we learnt that the hard way :P.
I've tried doing a google search on Freezer but apart from his footy history get zip.
Here's the company he apparently worked for in sports management.

-
I'm with the 5% fish man. This is Tony Free and as I've not tracked his every move since RFC how are we to know what his experiences now are. ::)
I have enough faith in the current RFC board that they've made the right decision and that Free will be a valuable member in directing RFC to a successful future and be responsible in the recommendations and opinions he gives at the table.
While MT can tell us pretty well the role by what Miller has left we also dont know his authority delegated/allocated to Free as a board member (unless MT has inside info of this) and maybe someone else on the board has take some of this authority moved to them, it's an unknown. Of course as a board member and going by his posts, if he is put in a role which MT says he is, he's going to be a strong advocate for the kids at the match committee, right on on Freeza. :thumbsup
It's all speculation. but of course, the sky is falling. :rollin It has been for 25 years if you haven't noticed. ;)
-
As I already said, I have faith that he's professional enough to do what is best for the club.
But based on what? Because he posted on a footy forum.
Good luck to Freezer, I hope his appointment is a success and for the best interests of the club.

That's me surmising FF but if he is taking over Miller's position on the board and is there as "a contemporary player who will help the club build its young list" then he must be taking a position on the football committee and which will have the responsibilities I've mentioned.
I guess Ramps' first question to Freezer will be does he want a Natanui plus a Rich or Hurley and is he willing to support a tank lol.
-
Where's he been?
Has he been @ board level at any smaller league clubs?
Is he still an alco?
Is he still an egomaniac?
Does he have an (ulterior) agenda?
I know what ur saying Froars...the first of the 7 signs :shh
-
But based on what? Because he posted on a footy forum.
Geez, talk about build me up and then knock me down. ;D
You tell me I'm smart early on then hit me with that. :(
I actually really trust the board and their judgement. I'm only repeating what I've already said.
I said early on I'm probably gullible because I trust people and their motives. Well, most of the time.
I can't help that and I can't change.

The football subcommittee as it stood was Miller, Dalton and March (who sits on all subcommittees). The other directors belong to other non-football subcommittees. Miller of course will still retain the football manager role so yes Freezer won't have the day to day responsibilities that Miller did. However he must though as a board member oversee and be responsible for who and what happens in the footy department from now on.
Here's the board and the respective subcommittees:

If there's one thing Freezer could do it's send Miller away on holidays during trade week lol. Leave the recruiting to Francis Jackson and co. in the drafts.

It's about your own conscience, Fish
When someone says they don't like a person and then they will be in charge of them, me, I have to question his motives.
I would question them if they were a mate of mine.
Just something i have to do.
If you trust them, knowing what you know, then good luck to you.
Me, I think it stinks personally,but what can I do other than speak my mind.

Yeah, we'll be encroaching on one-eyed's loitering hours at this rate. :P

there is no story in this story.
It has been mooted for 3 years, thata as soon as practical GM would be off the board.
I agree with Tony Free, people forget he was Ash Prescotts manager when he shafted the tigers and went to freo for free :whistle
Free left the club on bad terms, his knee was frucked but he wouldnt accept it, ended up doin a pre-season with collingwood before he broke down again.
Long term Gm could not be his own boss, March has done well here. Lets hope free's legendary toughness transpires from the football field to the board room

Miller quits Richmond board
Michael Gleeson | Age | June 13, 2008
RICHMOND director Greg Miller has quit the Tigers board after four years, but will stay on at the club as the head of the struggling team's football department.
He will be replaced on the board next week by former captain Tony Free, who will head up the club's football sub-committee.
Free, 38, a former captain and best and fairest winner, will formally join the board at next week's meeting.
Former North Melbourne chief executive Miller, who is still a North shareholder, had been under pressure over the conflicts between his board position and role as football manager, while also retaining his shares in a rival club.
The ultimate decision to quit was Miller's.
It comes after his job was altered last year with the football duties narrowed to remove recruiting from his broad job description.
Craig Cameron was brought into the club from Melbourne in the pre-season to take over recruiting.
"Greg felt he had served his purpose on the board, which was to put in a structure for the football department and oversee the restructure of the club.
"He felt that having done that it was time for him to go," Richmond president Gary March said.
Miller was the man entrusted with overseeing the rebuilding of the team and overseeing all aspects of the football department.
The five-year appointment of Terry Wallace was a further step towards seeking to introduce a long-term fix for the ailing team.
Off the field the club is in good health, having recorded consecutive million-dollar profits in the past two years and appears likely to do the same again this year.

Unfortunately no.
But I'll spot a conspiracy of some kind if Free's son miraculously gets on our list, don't you worry about that ;D
-
some people are never happy
we should be happy, greg miller , as i understand can now be sacked! he know longer has this conflict of interest
and why does tony free need business credentials to be on the board? there are plenty of businessmen on the board, and now finally we have a footy man on the board!
this is just the beginning, first miller, wallace next!
march has been very silent this year, but what he said at the start of the season was loud and clear, no excuses , improve or you are finished. terry knows he has lost the boards confidence, they no longer believe his gospel
-
some people are never happy
. terry knows he has lost the boards confidence, they no longer believe his gospel
What matters is if wallet looses the players
The next 5 weeks will shed some light on this.
2-3 wins will help confirm wallets vision that the club is headed in the right direction

Sounds like a lot of people here on OER ;)

I'm just surprised that those people here "in the know" (and I'm not just referring to one person here) hadn't previously broadcast this bit of information. Not so much about Miller leaving either, as we all knew that would happen sooner or later.

Lol I did by Private Message. ;)
Now Tony Frees creditionals.( doesnt look good )
Coached Prahran in the C -Grade Ammos and got the flick, couldnt win a game and finished bottom. ( was suspended for abusing umpires and had to coach from the boundary line )
Then coached Yarraville in the Footscray District and got the flick.
Now ends up on the board of the AFL club he played for after screwing the club as Blaisee mnetioned with Ash Prescott which the club said dont come back here .
This could be Marchs attempt to please "" the masses"" as there is something coming around the corner.

A very sad day for the Richmond Football Club >:(
-
the issue of whether Josh Free ends up on our list has nothing to do with his old man being on our board. Josh Free is constantly in his teams Bests in the TAC Cup. It also seems that he could be an option to play on opposition small forwards, we need to find a player to develop for this role. If Josh Free is good enough he should come to Richmond, if he isnt then thats bad luck for the kid, whether his old man is on the board is irrelevant.

Well exactly, Ramps.
If he's good enough he should be on the list if he wants to be on the list
Wait and see!
-
Stepping out in his first official appointment as an official Board Member of the Richmond Football Club, Tony Free has done his knee...
:D
couldn't resist, for those that cannot tell, this is a joke :santa
-
Draft wise Shaun McKernan comes right into the frame for Richmond if we end up with a pick around 4 or 5. Tony Free rates him highly according to what he has written on Y&B.

If Josh Free is good enough he should come to Richmond, if he isnt then thats bad luck for the kid, whether his old man is on the board is irrelevant.
Mind you, why anyone would want their son to play for us with all the slagging the players get needs their head read.
Hope he's as tough as his dad on the field and putting up with crap supporters.

Smaks of tokenism to me, hope I'm wrong.
Just pray for the day we can get it all together on the field.
Melbourne this week will prove nothing at all :help

Posting on web sites you dislike the coach and then joining the board.
A touch unprofessional IMO :lol
But everyone seems happy about that which I find amusing.
Anyway, we'll see what happens under Tony :thumbsup

where does freezer post, and so what if he does. he loves rfc, terry does not. many are all bagging tony for not having credentials
let me see, past rfc captain, person who really loves the club and has fire in his belly. good enough for this lady.
so what if tony dislikes terry, every single tiger fan with half a brain dislikes terry.
not sure who you are moi, but are you in bed with terry? what makes you think that terry has been so good for us?

I'm just surprised that those people here "in the know" (and I'm not just referring to one person here) hadn't previously broadcast this bit of information. Not so much about Miller leaving either, as we all knew that would happen sooner or later.
Lol I did by Private Message. ;)
Now Tony Frees creditionals.( doesnt look good )
Coached Prahran in the C -Grade Ammos and got the flick, couldnt win a game and finished bottom. ( was suspended for abusing umpires and had to coach from the boundary line )
Then coached Yarraville in the Footscray District and got the flick.
Now ends up on the board of the AFL club he played for after screwing the club as Blaisee mnetioned with Ash Prescott which the club said dont come back here .
This could be Marchs attempt to please "" the masses"" as there is something coming around the corner.
Great credentials, Jack.
Seems like you've got what you wished for - your mates to screw up the club.
:clapping
whats all this got to do with me MOI?
I will run my own race. lol
If we lose the next 3 weeks, we will have a new coach. Thats my opinion! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Tigermonk ,you are right.
Free screwed us BIG TIME with the Ashley Prescott situation.
Cameron Schwab,( CS) oh please.
Most people involved at RFC are in it for there own benefit, not the clubs, that INCLUDES Terry WALLET.
The RFC needs a massive cleanout.
Just maybe the ""alternative ticket"" 4 years ago was right after all.
Tony Free ::) Thats as bad as recruiting Jordy ::)
Moi, Both Wallace and Miller have to be shown the door.
What Wallace said about Richo in the paper was a disgrace to guy who bleeds yellow and black
-
Jack, you're the one that said there weren't enough former players around the club.
When you get one you trash him.
Mind you, what's gone on at that web site, maybe we don't need someone like him.
But is really hard to work out what you want.
-
So how sure are people that it was Freezer on Yellow and Black.
I have never looked at that site so dont really know much about it. Just had a quick look before and there is a statement about him not being involved.
Basically what did he say?
-
I'm playing Boz Scaggs,"Lowdown" - makes all this pale into significance

all is not what it seems with this little episode.
where there is smoke there is fire when it comes to this football club, personally someone is pulling rank, and now they are trying to cover their ass.
oh well you reap what you sow.
-
He made out he was him.
I've only read a couple of posts of his - others will know more - but he was fairly convincing talking about his playing days.
You would like what he said, he talked about his dislike of Wallace ::)
So it was not surprising the thread disappeared, but what really got to me was that only a couple of people questioned his dislike of Wallace and how that could pose a problem with him being on the board.
They were so rapt that a player was on their site they lost all perspective.
Sad really they could get so easily conned and we've seen it on here with certain posters falling for it as well.
They're just people folks, they're no better or worse than you or me.
I can understand kids getting caught up and thinking it was cool, but adults lol
FFS

I think I'll join Ox. What this clown did was very impressive :rollin and I think others are taking it way too seriously.
The main thing is the real Freezer does the job well he's been asked to do. That's what I'll judge him by. We've had plenty of "business people" who have CVs as long as their arm run our club who have known sweet bugger all about running a football club.
-
I don't think future board members getting on web sites bagging the coach is really a path we want to go down. There was a way of proving if it was him or not but neither Tony or the admin of that site were prepared to do that. So the scepticism remains.

Simply someone was posting cleverly fooling everyone pretending to be Tony Free.
Turns out the imposter was posting on Y&B at precisely the same time as the real Tony Free was at the Tom Hafey club function, as witnessed by a club official.

Don't believe a word of it.

After being told I wasn't worthy of joining their secret little forum where they used to bag Rosy and everyone else I suspect, hard not to imagine why you wouldn't want to be associated with the site.
I tried to get over it, but always in the back of my mind that they could still have their little forums and who wants that. Not I.

I'm certainly not trying to start that Infamy, I just think as Moi has been (I assume) IP blocked from the site since Moi cant even read the forum it was valid to show the final post directed directly at the member but they cant see it to be able to read it.
There was no intended bitterness in my post towards Y&B, I enjoy both sites and their cultures. :thumbsup

I reckon OER has a secret forum, I wanna know why I havent got my invite ;D

Tigers welcome 'baggage-less' Free
Michael Gleeson | June 14, 2008
GREG Miller's decision to step down from the Richmond board brings to an end the era of self-assessment of the Tigers' football department.
The club has acknowledged that while there were benefits to off-field stability from Miller's decision to take a position on the board, ultimately it was an untenable situation.
The club agreed that the head of the football department should not be the football director on the board assessing the performance of the football department.
That Miller also remains a shareholder of a rival club, North Melbourne, only compounded the situation.
Former captain and best-and-fairest Tony Free arrives as a board member well-credentialled in football terms but also importantly, according to president Gary March, carrying no baggage.
"We have been looking for some time for a more contemporary player to join the board given we have a young list and we wanted someone who is independent," March said.
"He was a straight shooter as a player and captain and that is what we wanted. He will be good for us, he is not aligned with anyone and he just tells it how it is. We wanted an independent, uncompromising person with good football background and he has impeccable credentials as a former captain and best-and-fairest winner."
Despite his football pedigree, Free arrives in the position having been little more than an interested observer in recent years and consequently arrives without predisposition.
Regardless of that, or as a consequence, he believes that the second half of the season is crucial for the team in establishing what strides have been taken in its redevelopment over the past few years.
Having endured a difficult draw in the first half of the season, Richmond now confronts a run home including five games against sides currently below them on the ladder. Another is against the side sitting only one place above them.
"From an outsider's perspective, I think we have a talented young crew, a few stars in the middle-to-latter stages of their career. It is an exciting time for our list but it is critical we get things right and develop this talented young list into a consistently competitive team. I think that is the bottom line really," Free said yesterday.
"It is more a matter for Greg and (coach) Terry (Wallace) to assess but from an outsider's perspective I guess to me it is critically important the next six months and how the players develop together and the list develops.
"I think Terry and Greg would like to see some strong performances and good wins as the year goes on.
"I think the footy club would be looking to consistent competitive performances for the remainder of the year. It's an important six months for sure.
"Just from watching games as a supporter the performances to date have been inconsistent haven't they? They have had good strong performances and they have dropped off against some better teams and this is throughout games not just game by game. It is a developing group how long that takes I don't know but the club would be looking for those performances to be more consistent throughout games and game after game."
As a player, Free helped Richmond out of the grim days of the late 1980s and into a period of relative success in the mid-90s before he was forced by injury into early retirement at 27, while club captain.

Shannon, I didn't answer you because I don't have to when ordered to ;D
I suggest you go through my posts over the last three years and there's plenty for you to read to get an understanding of why I support my club and Wallace.
To repeat what I've been saying for the last three years is boring to a lot of people, so I'll leave them at peace.

Just getting back to Freezer and a potential conflict of interest regarding Josh, there's no guarantee his son will be drafted let alone go as F/S at 174cm, 72kg even though he is regularly named in the bests for North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup. Josh could be another Fort Caruso and be too small for AFL despite starring in junior footy. Freezer though might come in handy with us picking up Lambert's son if he is any good when he reaches draft age. Sheep's kid is eligible to go as F/S to both Richmond and Brisbane.
-
Draft wise Shaun McKernan comes right into the frame for Richmond if we end up with a pick around 4 or 5. Tony Free rates him highly according to what he has written on Y&B.
Im not saying it was or it wasn't him. But whoever he is, i wonder if he made his judgements based on Shauns similarities with our very own Royce Hart ?
Kicking style/ Running style and even his marking technique is consistant with Royce's IMO. The link below is his highlights package. See if you agree.

Royce was a rover when he started in footy and he was very good at ground level as well as the kicking and aerials. Hard to tell with this footage.

And I have no doubt if it was Tony Free on that site.
You only have to know by how quick I was banned from the site after some questioning.
Worse than Rosy lol
And some terrible language by the owner 0f the site against me
He should visit his dental hygienist more regularly ;) and get that mouth of his cleaned out :lol

He should visit his dental hygienist more regularly ;) and get that mouth of his cleaned out :lol
Nobody is worse than Rosy.

And I have no doubt if it was Tony Free on that site.
You only have to know by how quick I was banned from the site after some questioning.

WTF Is Tony Free gonna do?
Tell me?
WTF has he done in the last 15 years?
What are his qualifications at board level.
This is just another case of giving the unqualified a chance to make some money
GMAFB !!! :banghead
Tell me -WTF Is he going to do?
Sprinkle Fary dust because he's an ex player ?
PLEEEASE. :P
Considering what was passed at the recent AGM, interesting as T.Free hasnt the qualifications that would qualify.
Really, running an ice cream shop/juice bar ::)
-
How's the view from way up there Jacko?.
But it is an interesting point, though. would he get a gig now with selection panel or whatever they call it?
One of the rationale behind being able to appoint board members is to get duly credentialed people rather simply popular ex players on the board.

I will say that he would contribute little.
Really, he coached C-grade Ammos( Prahran) to a wooden spoon-relegation
and then couldnt coach for several weeks during the year,as he was banned for abuse.
Coached from the sidelines ::)
,Lets dont let truth get in the way of a good story though.

are you really suggesting that being a good coach is a prerequisite to being a competent board member?

No it's not, but it's no more an argument against him than an argument for him.
-

mate, he is a bit of a nit wit .
How he conducted himself was a disgrace, lets hope he has changed his ways, otherwise his contribution at board level will be little
-
Ill take that as a yes, you are indeed suggesting that
