As for that IDIOT Archie Fraser, thanks for nothing turd.
What a complete joke. No indoor pool! I mean, FFS why did they EVER bother with this Seaford bullshyte if it was second rate to start with?
And FFS why couldn't a foundation fund be set up with directors?
What the Faark was wrong with our board?
Stinks to high heaven that they were spineless and had no business acumen.
No wonder Baker got lynched at the tribunal. It's all part and parcel and crap administration that has forever killed our club.
We have plenty of wealthy supporters that surely would've chipped in some coin to build Moorabbin.
WHY couldn't we get the AFL to tell Kingston council to F. Off and let us redevelop our REAL home?
Once GT left at the end of 2006, the AFL had no longer a reason to hate us.
/rant just beginning....over to you Barks. I hope this thread goes for 20 pages.
Aside from Archie Fraser whose vision and master plan it was to begin with all those responsible are the present and current board!Enrico_Misso wrote:How much money have we wasted on this doomed ridiculous bid to relocate to some cesspit on the outer edge of Boganville.
I've never been down there and see no reason to ever go there.
Moorabbin is our home.
We should never have left.
The Board members past and present responsible for this catastrophic mismanagement should be named and shamed in an "Honour Roll of Incompetancy".

They are like a slum with the street scaping, shopping strips, development and modernising. The place looks like it was built in the 50s and hasn't had a cent spent since. All the councils around it move forward while kingston looks like it belongs in the Latrobe Valley. The are seriously s*** because they must get the same kind of money as other councils but where is it? Glen Eira are so corrupt the can't leave anything unlocked but they still have plenty to spend why not Kingston?Eastern wrote:I think the REAL STORY lies with the incompetence, stupidity and pigheadedness of those elected to the Kingston Council. They steadfastly refused to be involved, financially or otherwise in the proposed re-development of Moorabbin and are now trying to reverse this decision. Lets remember that just prior to the St Kilda decision to leave Moorabbin one of the councillors on the Kingston Council would spend his weekends planting trees in the car park, meaning that 2 council employees (including the son of a former saints player) would spend each and every Monday pulling these these trees out so that the car park could be used as a car park. Archie Fraser might not have been the ideal person to be negotiating with this mob but I'm not sure that anyone else would have got any further with them !!
No argument about any of that Eastern. For me the issue though, is why didn't we either (A) find a way around those Kingston clowns or (B) wait them out???
