Tigers' Board under attack (Age)

[jackstar is back again]

These faceless & nameless back room "power brokers" have had the same MO for years.

Have not seen it work to the betterment of the club yet.

Put up or shut up & then let the member decide.

Members did decide and I voted the wrong way.
Should never of voted for the Casey Ticket.
Current board members are lightweights with no balls
As was evident in the circus of events last year

[Gigantor]

just out of interest if the football gods smiled upon us and we won 5 in a row would this backbiting go away?
is it our on field problems driving this ,or is it much more deep seated?

jack is right about one thing though the cousins/wallace episodes were indeed comical..sadly

[Fishfinger]

Members did decide and I voted the wrong way.
Should never of voted for the Casey Ticket.

You'll never know one way or the other because the Macek/Schwab ticket didn't get the gig.

If a ticket is put together it would likely be a waste of time, club's money for an election and effort as well as being nothing more than disruptive. The last challenge failed on the back of a $2.4m loss on top of on-field failure. Extremely unlikely one would succeed now.

[Gigantor]

i hope i'm wrong ,but this off field sniggering does nothing to help the boys in Adelaide..God know what Hardwicke and lade think after reading the papers today

[Ramps]

So the question is who are the perpertrators putting up as a potential new president?

[Gigantor]

Good question ramps.
Now from purely a politics side of thing ...Do you announce impending challenge to the board ,thereby hoping to destabilise the joint,or are these people that concerned with the state of affairs that they feel theres no point waiting

[Ramps]

I bet these guys dont even have a big name for a President "in waiting" Its just disgraceful! These guys need to say who they are putting up for President!

[Francois Jackson]

Oh great, ex-players getting involved and causing the same problems that has caused us to be crap for 30 years.
Here we go again, talk about de ja vu

 

Hate to tell you this, today is the 9th May 2010, and as of today we are no better off ( or even worse) than we have been for 30 years.
Do you want this to continue ?
I dont .
Currently, there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
Did you also watch Dave Rodan yesterday,? We delisted him( didnt even trade him) but as of 4 months ago, we signed up Luke McGaune at $450,000 a year for 3 years.
If you think the current management at our club are doing a good job, your on drugs.
We recruit the wrong players ( Dustin Martin an expection ) and then we sign up average players on 3 year contracts.-McGaune.
We also bring in hacks like Hislop , McMahon etc etc
Francis Jackson and Craig Cameron have little idea in what is required.
I feel sorry for Hardwick ,nice bloke, but we NEED a leader/coach who is GOING TO BANG SOME HEADS.

its those decisions that send us backwards. Mcguane should never have been given a contract, full stop but for 3 years at 450k. what an absolute joke. cameron should be shot in the head that effin loser. he can take jackson with him for recruiting for infesting this club with a bunch of crap.

IF WE WANT TO BE SERIOUS AND I MEAN REAL SERIOUS WE NEED TO CLEAN THE PLACE OUT WITH THE LIKES OF CAMERON AND JACKSON WHO HAVE PUT US IN THE MESS WE ARE IN NOW.

for the life of me i dont know why we didnt move heaven and earth for Balme. He has a soft spot for the Tigers and when he comments is generally interested in what we are all about. Unlike that fact farq Brown balme is a legend and would've ensured we are heading in the right direction. He is a Richmond man through and through

gale was the best thing the club could've done, but gee we cant go on till the whole place starts again and it must start from a new president.

Laidley would've been an absolute gem alongside Dimma. These left field decisions are what makes a club but time and time again we look for safer options which turn out to the wrong decisions.

when you have the calibre of Laidley, Balkme and Sheeds to an extent, these are quality people who should never have been dismissed to head up the footy department, instead we waste 450k on Mcguane

Correct.
In what do the RFC do instead,
Go with a coach who has to learn the caper

[Ramps]

coach is doing exactly what he was contracted to do- start again and rebuild the club. Hes got 10 out 10 for how he has gone about it so far!

got no issue with Dimma.   

100% correct he is doing what he said he would im happy with him.

Its Jackson, foremost and cameron who need to go. We are heading in a new era now and why on earth are they still on the books.

[Ramps]

Jackson may get the arse but Cameron will stay coz he managed to get himself a long term contract.

Paul Gough (journo and Tiger supporter) wants the current Board given the stuff......


Tigers board must go

Those frustrated Richmond fans looking for someone to blame for the Tigers' dreadful predicament should focus their attention on the club's board of directors.

... it is certainly not the fault of new coach Damien Hardwick or other key personnel such as newly-appointed CEO Brendon Gale and recently-appointed head of football operations Craig Cameron.

Instead they are left to clean up the mess left behind by former coach Terry Wallace and former football operations manager Greg Miller, who failed to do the necessary team-building that Hardwick is now bravely implementing.

However the men responsible for the disastrous appointment of Wallace and offering him an initial five-year deal, as well as paying him so much that precious little was left to set up a proper recruiting network, are still involved at the club.

And that is the club's ineffectual board led by president Gary March, who has been there since 2002 and who has led the board since November 2005.

While it was former president Clinton Casey who appointed Wallace to succeed Danny Frawley at the end of 2004, March was the club's vice-president at the time and agreed to the decision as did fellow current board members Maurice O'Shannassy, Garry Cameron, Don Lord, John Matthies and Robert Dalton - who all remain on the club's board having also been part of the decision to appoint Wallace.

I agree with FF but Gough has made some valid points, March was VP when Casey was President and hes been there a long time as have some other board members.
