Emmett Dunne to Join RFC Board

[WilliamPowell]

Depends on how you interpret the phrase "elected to the board".

Agree

You say in your post that "they have served their terms, faced re-election".
Your point is that the directors were RE-ELECTED to the board after they were initially APPOINTED to the board.
The very same point I made which you claim was incorrect.
In any election there is a huge advantage to incumbency. You ignore this.

Also agree with your comment on incumbency. That is the nature of things especially at footy clubs

But my view is and this is obviously where we don't agree is this:

You are correct regarding how they first got on the board. That is not in dispute as it is very much fact. But once that initial term is over then any term after that IMESHO is they become "elected" or "re-elected" directors and that was my point

There is also the minor point that these directors as you say "served their terms" but in many of the cases as referred to in my previous post these terms were only the monthly remains of the directors they replaced. For example Dunne will replace Matthies from September till the AGM in December and face RE-ELECTION in December, the 3 months remaining of a 3 year term.

Yep and if the pub crew have the courage to nominate rather than wanting to just get on the board via some brokered deal then we will all get a say

And hopefully this time unlike previous occasions people will actually bother to vote, rather than sook that they never get a say

Was referring to voting against the constitution changes put forward at the AGM.  No doubt this was changed to give more power to the incumbents. As members we need to change this as we need more say in the goings on at our club.

Ok gotcha

But still think no matter how supposedly intimidated people felt /feel to use that as excuse not to vote is wrong.

 Seriously what can the club do if everyone puts their collective hands to say No? Nothing

And again my view but the last vote on constitutional changes and the result had absolutely nothing to do with intimidation but everythomg to do wth complacency and not caring enough to vote

U know what Willy,
 I love YA but you're too by the book.

Sometimes you just Gotta say "stuff this and stuff them"

[Harry]

Sorry WP, I was probably at the black sea in my speedos at the time so you're probably right I didn’t give a stuff.  The board probably realised they could pull a swifty for their own advantage and no one would care enough to oppose it.  "Hey we did everything above board, what ya complaining about" lol.

Dunne is a good appointment. Premiership player, successful career. Everything Tiny Free is not.

But Peggy's quote on his appointment speaks volumes to me.....

"He brings a particularly strong skill set in areas such as ethical leadership, culture and capability, integrity and security"

She and Gale have destroyed the culture of this footy club. We will never be successful until we go back to being ruthless and hated. Its what bred success at our club. We were haters and everyone hated us. Hopefully Dunne remembers that because that other interfering prick Michael Green sure as hell has.

“He brings a particularly strong skill set in areas such as ethical leadership, culture and capability, integrity and security – areas of paramount importance in the modern game.”

Missed this the first time round. 

Is she referring to ball security?

32 years later and he's still the best ruckman at the club.
