Curious post though Powelly, for you are one who complains everytime somebody stands for the board because they are imposing the costs of an election upon the club. Interesting change of tune.

I have always been in favour of the "democratic" process DCrane as long as those standing were actually bringing something of substance to the table.

Elections that are for the betterment of the club are needed. Elections bought on by those just wanting to stir up trouble for the sake of it are a waste of money IMHO

Last year for example we had people who put their hands (which I have no problem with) but they failed to give us the members anything concrete with regard to what they would bring to the table. For memory they told us what was wrong, sooked about the club but not what they could do to improve things. Eg one said we needed to start keeping sponsors but refused to answer how they would do it or what sponsors if any they could entice to the club....

People standing just for the sake of it who come to the table with no actual plan other than complaining is what i have a problem with and yes in those case an election to me is a waste of money and not in the best interest of the Club

However in this case my issue is this. What happens if there were more than these 2 candidates? Shouldn't we at least know about it?

I have no problem with a committee speaking to candidates because to brutually honest I doubt some people would really understand what's involved in being a company director let alone a director of a footy club and that information should be spelled out and that's where the comittee is a good thing. But do have reservations that a committee maybe recommending people withut us even knowing at a minimum who any other candidates might be and therby taking away our right to make a choice
Yep it's all about there being accountability. We don't want to go back to a situation pre-2004 where we didn't have a board election in years.

well have a good look, easy to work out.
Anyone can be a director of a company.
We need influential movers and shakers on the board.
Look at Collingwoods board,

No Election: Free, Speed, Walsh Returned Unopposed (RFC)
« Reply #58 on: November 23, 2011, 06:24:32 PM »
The Richmond Football Club also announced it will not hold a board election this year, with football director Tony Free and casual appointments Carl Walsh and Malcolm Speed being returned unopposed.

“Carl and Malcolm were recommended by the Club’s nominations committee after it had interviewed a number of high-quality candidates and they will add greatly to the skill set of our board,” March said.

“We have been able to reinvigorate and refresh our board in line with good governance practices, and it provides great stability in supporting CEO Brendon Gale, management, staff and players, as they strive to deliver us what we all want - a highly-successful football club, both on and off the field.”
