Casey gone

[Jackstar]

Ummmmmmmm The plot thickens
It was cost approx $60,000 as well
I dont think he can put himself up for re-election before time.
The board is currently 2 short ? And there is one offically up re election you will find !

[mightytiges]

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

Yep sorry about that fwoy, you're correct.

The current board is short by one I thought unless I've forgotten that someone else has decided to leave (Casey wants Turner and Matthies out as well). It was mentioned in the Australian that Casey is going to appoint a new member soon.  

1. Clinton Casey (End of 2005 he's required to face re-election but said he'll contest it this year)
2. Garry Cameron (?)
3. Robert Turner (?)
4. Don Lord (?)
5. Gary March (2006 - re-elected at last AGM)
6. John Matthies (2006 - elected at the last AGM ahead of TJ)
7. Anthony Mithin*
8. Alan Nicklos*
9. (not filled)

At least one of Cameron, Turner and Lord should be coming up for re-election although it could be two of them as I'm not sure about the empty 9th position's term.

*One of Mithin or Nicklos replaced Schwab so takes over his remaining term which would have finished end of this year I believe. The other would go to the end of 2006 as he replaced Welsh who was re-elected at the last AGM but resigned a month later.

I do beleive the article in the Australian is now in the hands of the legal people
Beleive that Turner will stay

Beleive that Turner will stay

Well no one can force him out just as no one can force Casey out unless either is in breach of the constitution.

[Cain]

Those that have previously been on the board and have been tarnished by the wide brush of failure should stay away. We don't need to continue with bad habits. EGO'S OF BYGONE ERAS WILL NOT HELP OUR CLUB PROGRESS

[Jackstar]

I actually agree with you Cain, thus my mouthfull to Macek and best and fairest night.

[froars]

And if others who were nominating had been there at the night, i'm guessing they would have got a mouthful too hey, Jack
But nowhere to be seen 
I don't get where they're coming from - they had their chances, they blew it - go away!

[Jackstar]

Hey froars, a few people copped a spray that night
I just wonder where Ben Holland will play next season, I hope its local footy.lol

[froars]

I still haven't rang them up to see if they've recovered.
Not going to either for another six months

Can anyone that is a member of the club remember voting Anthony Mitten onto the board?

I remember driving to the Collingwood game and hearing the announcement...does that help?

To be fair the board is allowed to appoint people. The new person serves out the remainder of the term of the person they replaced.

[Jackstar]

Example being if person say (jackstar) gets elected and resigns after one day, then the board can replace him with whoever they want for the remaining period!

Well there you go then. The current board already makes appointments without putting them before the members. Not exactly democrats themselves are they.

Fair enough that we want a members vote on Casey VS Macek. And Casey should stop putting up duds like Mitten to the board   

[Jackstar]

Would nearly beleive that the Rob Slade/Clinton Casey spatt is personal
