Board Election 2015 / Chadwick & O’Shannassy re-elected [update]

[Francois Jackson]

Rover, flea like last I heard.

His the man to take us to the promised land nothing is more certain

[Penelope]

youve gotta stop meeting up with BoJo in those dark alleys, or at least ignoring he's pillow talk

[tdy]

I think Russos implied claim is he give the board exposure to the property development business where they can offer players investment opportunities to increase their wealth without it being under the salary cap thus attracting players we might at the moment be missing. Like the guy who went to Collingwood over us,treloar wasnt it.  He has a point,clearly other clubs do it. Cameron Ling alluded to it early on in  his TV career as one way players get looked after.

That aside for this to come out in public is terribly destabilising and bad for the club. Caro has a valid point there,no club needs this us least of all. I think she is trying to ward off Russo with this article as someone who has lived through it I think she's seen it all before and knows it doesn't end well.  The way I read it she sees this play as an ego trip by Russo. Probably it is.

The last guy to do that at Richmond was Casey. That turned out to be a disaster. There are also salary cap laws now that include other jobs and post football earnings from sponsors or major club contributors.

[Yeahright]

But and people won't like reading this; we has members need to take some responsilibity for part of situation we find ourselves in. People allowed the constitutional changes to go through. We are now reaping to a point what was sown by apathy

So it's not the board, Dimma or the players but in fact the members. I like it. Probably mainly those members that sulk a lot about nothing happening and how starved of success they are.

[🏅Dooks]

At least if it really turns to shyte we can always fall back on blaming the members.

Got to hold them accountable 

[Yeahright]

They could have controlled the board thus having control over everything. Too bad most are lazy peanuts who rather sook

[Petey]

Gotta get big Speedo the leadership

[Francois Jackson]

come on WP. Explain how russo is any better or worse than the current appointed clowns on there.

half a million dollars spent on their kolo. Still ranked 8th on footy club spend. Most clubs dont win a flag in that position so what are we missing?

Russo for mine  the joint needs some fresh ideas and a finals win FFS:thumbsup

Actually you've just highlighted what has concerns re Russo.

You've just said the "joint needs fresh idea" but as I've said all along Russo hasn't put forward one. He's played on people's emotions, frustrations call it what you want.

Give me some ideas, so idea of what you intend to bring to the table and I'll listen. He refuses to do that? But if change for the sake of it for no goner reason is what's important to your decision making process - go for it

And just on the other "clowns" as you call them, are they all clowns or just a selected few?

still waiting on the answer to my first question William? Adding to that did the current board members outline their vision before they were appointed.

Great to see another appointed members vision for the club . At least this ones not your typical legal flog like most of the others

[Diocletian]

Stability's great - as long as it doesn't become stagnation...

I agree. Members, you should have known the board couldn't help but act like assess.

Was talking about the board instructed now, nothing to with the off field obviously

Angus, a bit hypocritical of you to mention I've not answered one of your questions, you do it constantly.   

Board appointed directors don't have to outline their vision to the members. just like people who stand but we don't have an election because the number of candidates equals the number of vacancies. On that case they are elected unopposed

Of the current mob who got elected onto the board via  members voting, the most recent was Rex Chadwick (by a massive margin I might add) and his "vision" was clearly explained and obviously embraced by the members.

Agree WP.
is it correct we actually made a loss this year?

Nope,been through the numbers, we made a profit

Cheers for that.
I'm sure I have heard Russo state the opposite.
