External consultants involved in Richmond's footy dept. review: Ch 7

[Penelope]

Think you will find dan just runs with the first idea that pops into his head as if it is a well researched, though out and informed

[camboon]

From my recollection there were two factions within the board with 4 votes each ,President Peggy was appointed as a circuit breaker / compromise brokered by Gary March as acceptable to both side. Our financial and operational side of the club is solid, so I'm not sure why the focus on the board.
I agree the real issue is Richmond culture, recruiting seconds players and soft outside players whilst keeping list cloggers. We need to go back to Greme Richmonds approach without the self destructive traits.
Every one take a deep breath and hope Richmond make decisions for the long term and not the short term to appease the noise.

It's only solid because they stole everyone's membership moneys

Whoopee Doo.

WP you may have overlooked my post on the last page.

Could you please inform us as to who proposed and seconded the motion that you voted against.

The motion was out forward by the board and communicated to the members prior to the AGM. IIRC the motion on the night was raised by March. Not sure who seconded it.

End of the day the board makes up 9.

That's 9 yes votes.

They had no control over the other 45k odd votes.  The motion could have easily been defeated if people had taken the time to vote or more to the point shown some interestinwhat was going on

Not sure what post your reading but it's not mine

Who said members elected her back then?? I said some voted for her eg the board back then on the basis of being a peace keeper between Speed and Maurice.

I also whacked all of them when I said they must all go, except speed. Tell me how long had speed been on the board when this vote occurred?? Give him the top job like he should have got it back then.

One thing members voted was not to have Russo join the the old and stale board that mostly had been around since Wallace. Some handpicked by Gregory Miller.
How has that working for you now. 

before you spit out the usual he supported dimwit party line, well guess what Einstein  they all plead support  before they are removed. The only time I've ever believed a coach is safe as my time following the AFL, is now under Gale and his side kick Peggy.

As always you cannot discuss anything without throwing in some insults for good measure when people disagree or challenge you.

But seriously what relevance does Speeds tenure on the board have to do with anything? If He honestly believed he was the best person for the role why didnt he challenge? What stopped him?

And why should he be excused from your wanting them all gone? Why does he stay and not the others?

He is part of the board who agreed to the extension.so he is much to blame as any other board member.

exactly who stopped him? I wonder.

so you voted against russo joining the board so my question was how is that working for you? stop deflecting the question and answer it.

Yep i did and i fine with it, works fine for me

Glad he isn't on the board. He offered nothing of substance at the time and therefore didnt get my vote.

So ive answered it

And perhaps in the future you can actually do what you demand of others and that's answer questions when you're asked rather than deflecting and potting people

Did he want to pee off Dimma?

Sounds substances like to me

Another joke to throw into the tiger repertoire

[Diocletian]

Hackson thinks we should draft Ernst but Hartley's right into Young.....

No more port players please.....

True.  But Dalton is one of a number of Board members.  PricewaterhouseCoopers are the club's auditors so its not unusual for consulting work to be awarded to one of the other large professional services firms.  I looked earlier, this job is only one of two that EY has done for RFC since 2014.  Not that significant.
