I have a feeling that when he comes back he will no longer be the president for much longer. In my opinion this is very poor timing for an overseas trip, everyone will be meeting behind his back now and by the time he comes back he will have no other choice but to stand down. He has lost a lot of support lately also.

Clinton, its time to go.

It seems influential people were allegedly talking behind Casey's back anyway and he's stuck to his guns so far. I'd guess going away kills time between now and trade week away from the media and adversaries for him. If we do well in trading then he'll return with supporters happy about the Club's direction.

Clinton maybe gone and not many will care one way or the other - but i don't like the words coming out like "smooth takeover".  What does that mean?

"smooth takeover/handover" = no election = stuff what the members think AGAIN! >:(

I can't see how some people complain about Casey never having faced an election under a challenge yet support the alternative ticket being handed control of the Club gift-wrapped. Seems contradictory IMV. IMHO neither side has and never will have credibility until they come before the whole membership at an election. Until then neither side can claim they have the support of the majority of Richmond supporters.

There will be an election and the members will have their say!

That’s exactly what it means MT.  >:( >:( >:(

Whatever anyone thinks of Don Scott, he and his group are at least giving Hawthorn members the opportunity to decide who should lead their Club, by having an election.

Which is unlike the people who want to “take over” Richmond.  They must think people are completely mindless or something. :help

They can blow as much hot air as they like about doing this ‘in the best of interests of the Club’ and ‘it’s what the members want’.  But if they’re not just in this for themselves then they are obligated to let the members decide, rather than tell members what they want and decide on behalf of members what is in Richmond’s best interests. >:(  >:(  >:(  >:(

That would be just following the usual procedures for AGM elections from the RFC constitution. Casey has offered to put himself up for re-election a year earlier than required so that would make it at least 4 up for election. The remaining 5 would need to do the same as Casey if we are to have a full board election.

Isn't the board still running short of the full nine positions?

I agree mightytiges - my understanding is that it is not that simple to change an AGM to an EGM.

If it's an AGM only 3 members will be up for re-election. If the new group want an EGM they have to go through the process - and that will involve the club spending extra dollars, mostly presumably on mail and printing  :(.
