"We encourage any of our 70,000 members"

Yeh right, bitch. Sure you do.

Well yes, but you missed the important bit "through our nominations process".
She and Kerry Ryan (and Rob Dalton) look forward to vetting you personally through the Nominations Committee before deciding whether to approve you as suitable to take their jobs.

I'm not sure that other clubs do specify exact sponsorship revenue. Just had a quick look at Collingwood & Hawks AR's from last year, and they report similarly to us. I can think of at least one good reason why clubs might want to be coy about being too specific — I'm sure you can too if you think about it.

The Club has reported an operating profit of $458,586 for the year ended 31 October 2015 (2014: $1,329,530). Considering the continued difficult economic environment for the Club and AFL industry generally, this financial result reinforces the Club’s robust financial standing.

Yes, the AFL Industry is such a hard nut to crack
More crap.

They want you all to believe it's sooooo hard to do.

From the President's report. Big claim to make if it isn't true.

Can you provide details?

From the 2015 AR:

The Club has reported a net profit of $458,586 for the financial year ended 31 October. This is the Club’s 11th consecutive profit – an outstanding result given we operate in such a competitive market. The Club achieved this result off a revenue base of $46.7 million, an increase of $2.3 million year-on- year.
Pleasingly the Club now has cash reserves in excess of $2 million. This represents a turnaround of almost $7 million based on our debt position five years ago. At the same time the Club has significantly increased its investment in football. In 2015, for example, the Club invested $8 million more in football that in did in 2010.
The Club’s net asset position increased over the year to $24.2 million. 2015 Highlights
• Home and away attendances of 1.05 million which ranked us number one in the AFL.
• TV audiences of 16 million, representing an increase of 13%.
• Record sponsorship revenue.
• Record corporate and coterie revenue.
• Record membership of 71,339.

Just wondering why you left out the last "point of success"
Regarding gender equality.

Yes, this is a key factor in being a successful football club and even more Important when being governed by a woman.

I was only quoting the bit that was relevant to my sponsorship conversation with Harry. Sorry to disappoint you.

It would be in our clubs best interests if all clubs disclosed it, that way when negotiating new deals we could use our supporters base and audience vs other clubs to put ourselves into a position of strength. As someone with an extensive sales and marketing background, its always stumped me that we havent been able to  spruik our potential audience vs other hack clubs into better commercial deals.

I'm interested, how would that disappoint me?

Or was that just a passive way of suggesting I'm a "MYSOGINIST"   Lmao

Have a look at note 4 for hawthorn and note 3 for collingwood.  More disclosure than us especially hawthorn.

Our sponsorship and marketing amont of 24m does not make sense and it appears they are including membetship and other revenue in there.

Sure, but our commercial partners may not want their expenditure publicised in this way, and of course, such exposure may limit future deals.

Our reporting isn't hugely different from those two. "Commercial activity" "Marketing Income". However you look at it or report it, we aren't massively different to those two clubs who would have far more leverage in the market than us you would think. Doesn't mean we can't do better, of course, but this board has been pretty good on the off field. And as difficult as it is to acknowledge, on field they have been more successful than probably any other board in the last 30 years. Once again, nobody is satisfied with that, but we are much better off building on this base than tearing it all down in anger and frustration and starting again.

So, who judges Peggy's worth?

Lol. What a pack of nepotistic crooks.

[(•))(©™]

Lmao at judging on the motivation of the applicant

[Harry]

Hawthorn has 9 clear revenue categories and you can clearly see what revenue is supporter and member dependant, whereas ours has 4 (interest income of 100k is also disclosed) and it's hard to decipher what is supporter driven and what is board driven via sponsors etc.  As a comparison we have disclosed 24m sponsorship/marketing/commercial activities whereas hawthorn have 15 and collingwood 17.

Where did you get that image from?
That's the first I've seen of it and it looks as if it's that latest version with those four members.

This is the original but please note, I've tried to get to the original as credited but can't raise it now.

Note that the rules I've highlighted in yellow are not in the latest version posted.
The wombats must not realize that there are other internet sources out there so you can't just scrub and forget what you post previously.
May be a good basis for a question at the AGM.
"Why have you changed the rules of the Nominations Committee, specifically about the chairmanship and serving in a re-election year?"
