Sh*t - so who did I lend $50 to?

No problems, we usually stash them in a draw under one of the 6 premiership cups won during my lifetime. And whaddya know, they're next to the 10 won before I was even born. Wow, 16 premierships, that's quite a lot. It's amazing how hard it is to win one when you have to play by the same rules as e...

It's good to know that winning a flag is as easy as having a board with a vision..looking forward to our flag in 2008!! So presumably you believe that a group who is focussed on the footy side of our footy club, who has identified shortcomings and feels so strongly about them that they want to fix ...

not much hypothetical there one party- football focussed blah blah the other - continued dissent blah blah think its a statement Well it's a statement of how I see it, yes. But I'd be interested to hear from anyone that sees it differently. Or are we to assume that even the pro-Butterss posters all...

I know, I know, another thread - but I think this is worth a bit of hypothetical debate on its own. Let's say we've got 2 possible outcomes - either the new ticket gets up or it doesn't. How do these outcomes affect the players? Personally I think that a new, football-focussed management would be a ...

I'm not saying RB hasn't done a brilliant job. The club is debt free and that's a good thing, but I want on-field success too and that seems to be lacking. Again, past success in clearing debt does not mean future success on the field. In fact, there's evidence to suggest that the current board don'...

will rule.... Where those his words???? I think those were his words, but I could be wrong. I think it was more in relation to board issues, in as much as he would not be autocratic but would defer to the consensus of the board. Sounds like he will not make any compromise with existing board (espec...

Yep it was an interesting question wasn't it - 'would you work with Butterss if it came to it' - said he would be led by consensus but that it was 'past all that' and 'time for a change'.

GW: no comment re Butterss 'outrage' and impending legal action

Claims RB cherry-picked results from last 6 months, not convinced

New ticket will be member's decision not AFL's

Meeting unlikely, still set for November EGM

'Supremely confident' of winning

Group will rule by consensus

Will not meet with Butterss

May meet with AFL

Will not meet with Butterss

May meet with AFL

Westaway on SEN now

Second lowest since the break.

Noted.


RB claimed we are in a very strong position for premiership next year - 'the only thing that would harm that is 2 months of disruption'...

Sounds a lot like blackmail to me...

On spending:

Increased spend this yr by $1.4m, all profits go to paying off debt and investing in football

Spend similar amount in recruitment as Geelong

Second lowest soft tissue injuries this year

I think this is a uniquely Autralian issue. In other sports in other countries players can behave like bad rock stars and nobody really cares. Australians revere sportsmen. They are not just faces on trading cards but they are national heroes that cut ribbons, dine with the PM and sell us breakfast ...

So if the new ticket is superior Rod is gawn?

How soon?

November EGM no longer relevant?

What was the quote I heard on Vega news a minute ago, about Rod offering to step down if (something something something)?

Was it if the AFL approves of the new ticket he'll step aside?!

Butterss will be on SEN at about 11.30

Can anyone point to any links between Westaway and Fox?

I would have thought they were competitors in the same industry, and unlikely to be close buddies.

5. Outline strategies to improve St Kilda's revenue streams

This is what concerns me. If clearing our debt was the sole (or at least key) priority of the current board then why weren't these issues addressed years ago?

I tend to agree with you rodgerfox. All is not well in paradise, and I don't think simply showing loyalty to RB et al will fix it. The club is OK financially, and that is appreciated. Some say that we've just got to that point and we should now give Butterss a chance to invest in the areas you menti...
