I reckon that if I bang my head on this wall for long enough that, pretty soon, I'll be totally numb to the pain.
Why should any of us become members?
What does it give us? Apart from burning a dirty great hole in our pockets, it gives us nothing.
In terms of it saving me money, as a 17 game, reserve seat member, I’d be better off just paying at the gate each week.
In terms of access to Grand Final tickets, it guarantees nothing.
In terms of ensuring that the history and traditions of the Club are maintained, it gives me nothing. Not when we have dictators at AFL headquarters telling us how to run our Club, in areas that should have nothing to do with them.
And in terms of giving me a say in how the Club is run, again, it gives me nothing.
Not while people like Schwab, Macek and Slade are running around making up our minds for us.
Well, I tell you what. How about all us members forget membership and let all you people with money support RFC financially, on behalf of us members, seeing as you seem to be the only ones who regularly get to have a say.
No more you morons. I want my say, coz me and every other Richmond member deserves to have their say.
If in fact members don’t want Casey as President then we can vote him and all the other Directors out at the next AGM, because they have all put themselves up for re-election.
We don’t need past players, presidents, coterie members and anyone else telling us what we want. We know what we want. We want our say and we don’t want others saying it for us.
What is the problem here? The entire Board has put itself up for re-election this AGM, we can all have our say then. Why do we have minority groups having their say on behalf of the majority? Who and what gives them the right to speak for all members?
Why won’t Macek, Schwab and any others put themselves up for election? Because they know they won’t get elected?
