Off-field coup brewing: Barrett

[one-eyed]

30 "influential" Richmond people met last Wednesday at Malvern Hotel.

Discussed the merits of an EGM. Some were for it while others weren't keen on it.

Some of the attendees:
Steve? Mandy (son of David) .... only attended. Won't be involved in any coup.
Jason Dowd .... failed election candidate last year
Joe Russo .... failed election candidate last year.

Grievance over the make-up of the board and the tenure of directors. 6 of the 9 current directors have been there for 6+ years. A couple for over 10 years.

Caro disagreed that a board upheaval would solve Richmond's problems. She did agreed that some directors that had been there a long time should go.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Pretty much spot on......

[Diocletian]

Vote 1 Malvern Stars...

Think Caro's on the money there. It won't instantly solve our problems imo.

Keeping the current lot will compound our current problems.

Bring on the Special General Meeting.

Yep if the current board don't want a smooth transition then hopefully we go to an EGM.

the more things change the more they stay the same

30 "influential" people... wonder what makes them supposedly "influential" . ..their collective bank balances? Any members who hold a 11 game membership get invited? Are they not influential too???

Jacks club members $ arent anymore important than Your dollars or mone or the person who ricks  each week and sits up on level 4 because thats all they can afford

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I think my dollars ARE more important quite simply because I could spend it elsewhere

I think I can add some clarity to all this cloak and dagger stuff.

I was at a certain pub the other night with a fair few mates, I can't remember if there were thirty but we were under the influence.  We were also talking about footy quite a lot, well until these really hot pair of girls walked in anyway.

There were also some non tiger supporters in the group as well but they still were vocal on the subject of the Tigers.

Will keep you all updated on developments if they aren't too top secret
