Richmond Board Nomination

[PhilipAnderson]

Hello everyone,

I thought that I would introduce myself.

My name is Philip Anderson and I would like to announce my nomination for the Richmond Football Club board.

Below you will see a link to my Blog page which will show you further detail on me personally and why you should vote for me in the upcoming election.

I understand that voting is optional and that you also have a choice.

I would, however, appreciate it if you gave some consideration to voting for me.

Go tigers! Let's make a difference.

I see nothing in there about why I should vote for you. There is absolutely nothing about your qualifications, and on what you could contribute to the board. All I see is a lot of things you want, which are the same things everyone wants. It is big on tub-thumping populism, and bereft of substance or detail. Very disappointing.

Hi Philip and welcome to OER.

My suggestion is the Members will want to know more about the HOW behind the honourable sentitments that we all want.....

Q1. How do you plan to eliminate our debt? What is the action plan you suggest?

Q2. What ways do you have planned to deliver further income to the Club? Such as the ability to attract more/better sponsors or non-footy related income/businesses, etc...?

Q3. When you say we must further invest the savings into the footy department beit recruiting, player development or sports science, where will these savings come from - additional revenue (ie. Q1 & Q2) and/or from cuts in non-football areas of the Club?

I have a question and its this, if I vote for you.... who on the current board should I not vote for and why?

Hello Phillip

I read your blog and I must say that there is nothing in your blog in terms of the points of improvement that you want to see at the club that is not already happening or is well in progress, in fact just on one point, the communication between the club and its supporters has never been stronger. If you had of made yourself known 18 months to 2 years ago (When we were a mess in some areas) you would have had a much better chance of impinging on your audience than you do right now. Please do not take this comment as an invalidation of your abilities because you could in fact be a very able individual but i can't find a current board member that should loose his position so that you can get in there to do the very things these guys are ALREADY implementing.

Philip could only replace one of the three board members running for re-election - March, Matthies or Haines.

Yep so what I am asking is which one of those 3 shouldn't I vote for and the reasons why. In effect, I'd like him to tell us how he can do a better job than any of the 3 up for election.

There's also the cost factor of holding an Board election.

There was talk a year or so ago about March stepping down at the end of his term but IIRC he's said this year that he wants to continue on as Prez.

I've had a look and thorough read of Mr Anderson's website.

I think a number of other psoters have covered how I feel

I always find it interesting (bordering on amusing actually) that people when they decide to do this have no hesitation in saying what's wrong and what the Club should be doing but sadly never actually come up with a plan on how they are going to fix the problems.

We need to increase spend in the footy department is the cry - YEP we do but my question is how do you intend to increase revenues to achieve that? Going to pull a 6 or 7 figure sponsor out of the sky?

Further the website tells us he is running but not why? Sorry but to me the "I want the Tigers to be the most successful club" doesn't cut it. Bottomo line is we all want that; so again it comes back to how do you intend to make that happen

Ramps makes a really important point - who is it that you want off the board exactly and why?

Fact is I wnat to know what you have to offer and unfortunately your web-site doesn't tell me. And because of that it really doesn't give me one reason why I should vote for you



And one final PS: I really have an issue with the cost of running and election like this because by extension it takes away money from the footy dept ....

Would one of the revenue streams be investment be in a hotel with pokies - close to Punt Road.

Tell us about the skills you would bring to the board and why you will be a better replacement than the board member you would replace?

Do you think the current board is on track?

Do you know why havnt we got a major sponsor  yet?

I like your style though - putting yourself out there by posting on OE.

Phil, i have seen your post on more than one website now and the same questions are coming up.  Don't treat us like mugs, mate.  Answer the questions.

[Carvels Ring]

Just read yr wordpress page again and I think the questions raised are valid.

Also, you might want to do a bit of editing.  There are some pretty silly mistakes, both in spelling and expression which make it look a bit amateurish.

And another thing; pendulums don't turn.

[Hellenic Tiger]

To me its just another coterie group member on the board who wants to run things their way in much the same way we have seen for the most part in my time as an RFC supporter or member.  It's just the cynical part of me that just is really apprehensive when board elections come around.

Yep I fall into that 30+ year old supporter who is frustrated at the lack of success but telling me that aint going to fix the problem it merely strikes a chord in my psyche and unfortunantely that doesn't guarantee success.

Now Phil please answer the posters aforementioned questions for this RFC footy and social club member.

i want to know will your wife have a say on which flower arrangments  are on the tables at the Presidents Lunches.
As the other board members wifes have a say, will yours.
