Does anyone really think the alternative would get rid of Miller if they got in?

They are not that stupid..

Plus they have made statements that seem to indicate this would not happen..

Yes, but would Miller stay?  After hearing him this morning, I wouldn't be too sure that he would.

Possibly not , but why?

Would it be a simple case of not thinking the alternative are up to it??

Theres no reason why he couldn't at least stay a year with them and after that time if  he felt he could
not work under them then leave...

After hearing both Greg Miller & Charles Macek on Sport927 this moring then my answer to your questions HarryB are:

Yes and yes in that order ;D

As I posted somewhere else I will attempt to post the links to the interviews as soon as the are available because there were 2 things said by Charles that were deeply concerning. And I will be interested in people's views

1/ He referred to the independant election officers (in this case from the offices of our Auditors PWC) as not being independant :o

2/ He was also complaining that the CLub would not allow his ticket to send out their brochure to members. The constitution is very specific and it allows for each nominee to send 1 A4 sized flyer each - if their brochure is in breach of this then his complaints are misleading aren't they?

In his interview HarryB, Greg Miller made reference to some information/rumours (which I have heard myself) that have been made about him regarding his links to Casey - which he strongly denied. It would make it hard for him to work with the alternatives.

Charles was asked about it and he said he couldn't comment because he wasn't aware of it - didn't say it wasn't true just he didn't know

My opinion is that members will mix and match. I get the feeling we may end up with a totally split board. My view is that Clinton Casey may not get elected to the board, I also have a similar feeling about Brendon Schwab, Infact my thinking is that RFC members will probably punish any person who has previously been on the board in any capacity at any time over the last 10 years.

Thinking they’re not up to it?  He wouldn’t be thinking that, he would know they’re not up to it.

Greg Miller is trying to change the whole culture of this footy Club.  The Alternative group is going about this in the very way that he is trying to change.

This ticket has grown legs because of influential coterie groups encouraging them to form this ticket.

Now it’s these influential supporter groups that have helped cause a whole lot of the mess we’ve been in for a lot longer than since Casey has been at this Club.  Problems that have been caused because previous administrations were too ready willing and able to cave in to the wishes of these influential supporter groups (read sack the coach) time and again.

This ticket is doing exactly what we’re trying to get away from, but instead, they are listening to the demands of these groups.  They are not doing this in the interests of all Richmond members, but the same select few who always seem to have more of a say than the resut of us.

If anyone thinks that Miller could work with such a backward thinking and spineless lot, and continue to get this Club moving in the direction we seem to be heading in now then you best think again.  I don’t think so.

Well whatever faults the alternative may have in make up and execution are
more than made up by Casey and now Miller

Bottom line he is a paid employee should keep out of it...

When Steve Wright came he gave a directive to all employees to stay out of the political stuff
so Greg has clearly broken this.


Whatever you think of the alternative it is clearly miller and casey who have made things messier than they needed to be...

You are probably right , has anyone heard any rumours about what independants may be running???
I just want all this over one way or the other

With due respect to you Harry, C-R-A-P!

It wasn't Clinton and Miller who have held this club to ransom for the last six months threatening EGMs and asking for the whole board to stand down when it wasn't warranted.  Listening to Welsh last night, it is clear he really only has a problem with the Casey "dictatorial" style.  There was absolutely no need whatsoever for the total board to go, and there was absolutely no need to have ex-players now coming in and causing a divide down the middle of this club - which i really hope is not longlasting.

Warranted? given our position on and off the field some would beg to differ..

And the point is an EGM didn't eventuate and we have reached what
i think is a fair compromise , ie a full board election where we get to
decide who runs the club.

Other clubs have finished last before and made big losses - i don't remember the last time a whole board was kicked out.
Yep, totally unwarranted IMO
