Bernie Finn running for the Board?!

[one-eyed]

BY THE TAIL: Bernie boosted to bring Tigers back from brink of extinction
By VEXNEWS ⋅ September 29, 2009

Prominent Liberal upper house Victorian MP Bernie Finn is set to be drafted to the board of the Richmond Football Club by members fed up with the poor on-field performance of the once powerful club.

Finn’s move has grown from the grassroots of the club, with supporters urging Finn to step forward to save the club he loves:

Bernie, can you get rid of the faceles rich on the board ASAP please? We were alays a working mans/womans club. We were never the toffs. We need passionate RICHMOND people. keep Freezer but the rst can follow the sun tan kid off into the glare of his setting solarium!

Bustling Bernie has declined to speculate on his board plans other than acknowledge the groundswell of popular support.

The potential board member and master strategist has indicated to the left-wing press this morning that he regards the appointment of former Essendon champ and hard-man Damien Hardwick as a step in the right direction.

Those wishing to urge Bernie Finn to become Richmond’s new driving force should sign up to the “Bernie for the Board” facebook group - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=89801650641

LOL - Can see this heading the same way as the butchers curtains thread.

I knew him when he was a radio tech at 3aw. Always a mad keen tiger supporter but also very opinionated and outspoken.
Definitely loose canon material.

... unlike your normal mad keen tiger supporter.

Quite true 65, quite true!  I guess there are a plethora of adjectives we can associate with the phrase "mad keen tiger supporter"

Bernie is a nice bloke.  Has right-wing views, but that's his prerogative
Mad Tiger supporter, opinionated, loose cannon more than likely, but if he wants to stand, good on him.
Keeping the bastards honest would be what he's thinking.
I don't think he will stand but you never know.
Whether he would be any good, I have my doubts just like everyone else
But I've also heard a lot of bagging from people on here about how this club is run, and as soon as someone puts their hand up they're shot straight down
Bernie may or may not run, may or may not get voted in anyway, but like many of you, he is fed up with what's happening at the club
If you don't like him, don't vote for him.

Is there anybody you don't know?

I would think as a current sitting politician (even one for the non-govenring party of the day) he could not stand as he would have a major conflict of interest

Exactly.  Someone made a fun Facebook page on him just as a joke and someone seems to have run with it and made it legit, which I doubt it is.

Hope you're right.
We have enough loose cannons.
