Saintsational Fan Forum - A passionate community of St Kilda Football Club fans discussing news, history, players, trade rumours, results, AFL stats and more.
Was browsing through the club website - I actually opened it before I went to bed last night and it had finished loading this morning - and noticed the list of board members at the club:
President:
Greg Westaway
Board Members:
Andrew Thompson
John Gdanski
Michael Nettlefold
Nathan Burke
Ross Levin
Simon Grant
No listing of the lady who had been on the FF ticket and on their website.
However, Michael Nettlefold seems to be back as a director/board member in some capacity.
The AGM will be interesting to see exactly what happens.
They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

Dana is not eligible to be a director if one of the proposed ammendment to constitution is voted in at the AGM, whereby you have to be a member of St.Kilda (adult member that is!) for at least a year to become a director....

Was she really a posibility anyway??
Therefore the current board are putting forward amendment.....
Would they have done this if Dana was proceeding to get on board??
I suppose clarifies that you must be a member (entitled to vote) for at least 12 months.... (director qualifications) a new article 10.3 inserted into constitution.

I think when we voted we gave our proxy to Westaway or Burkie.....for them to vote for us.....isn't that how it works

for their ticket which included Nelson and Brant
Nelson was sprouted as fixing our bottom line at Club functions etc
and corporate packages etc
bottom line at recent functions vey poor....... ie Bangers testimonial etc.
I do recall that there was always some doubt about Dana Nelson as she was not a Member nor even a Saints supporter. When approached, she expressed a strong interest in joining the Board if she were eligible - appears as though she is not eligible.

At time apparently eligible.....
if the resolution is passed at the AGM she would then apparently be ineligible.
I asked a director at the game last night , who said briefly that Dana Nelson just started on maternity leave from her CEO job at Delaware north, and so I suspect that has something to do with it. He said that the CEO at Transurban where Chris Brant works as CFO is resigning, and Brant is in the running , and in the best interests of the club Brant said he cant give the time needed to be a director , but nettlefold was sounded out and he reckons he will be a great addition to the board.

Ta.....but giving proxies to FF was well after 9 months ago.....though perhaps the reality set in late????
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
I'm happy with this board. Personally, I doubt there has been much conspiracy. I reckon it's got a nice mix of managerial and footy. So far, so good. The fact that someone like Dana Nelson had other matters arrive does not mean she cannot be playing a part in repairing issues within her sphere of capability.
I don't reckon we need to spend time worrying about problems that don't exist. Relax, enjoy the on field progress.

Agreed, but one of the issues against the previous Board was their 'backroom deals' and one of the 'planks' of FF was 'openness'.
They were not shy in trumpeting the achievements of their individual members and I reckon they should have advised the membership if the Board we were asked to give our proxies to was not the same Board they were eventually running with.
I for one would have found nothing wrong with a 'mention' that one of the prospective Board Memebrs, Dana Nelson, was not proceding because she was pregnant.
The fact that they chose not to mention it to the membership and proceded to just replace her smacks of similar arrogance that most found unacceptable from the previous Board.
