New Answers fromFootyFirst/Board Challenge Updates

[killa_gram]

Looks like Klim will take the pool sessions.

[ausfatcat]

Their Website is a DUD...not one solution....

All we know from it is that they are passionate.....

Not good enough.

I hope that their press conference has some substance to it.


TIP to the alternate board.

PULL your finger out and actually put some solutions up if you expect to get the majority of votes.

Agree I want to hear some plans if only broad/general ones at this stage saying that I am interested and they do seem to have a good mix but will reserve my decision until I hear some plans.

[saintsRrising]

Of the group...
Dana is the only one that on initial reading that impresses me...


With her background I can see added value.

Dana Nelson

Enterprise • Managing Director, Delaware North Australia Ltd
• Runs $165 million business in NZ and Australia
• Manages over 3500 employees at venues including Telstra
Dome, Southern Cross Station, Rod Laver Arena, a portfolio
of airports & transport hubs & many others • Functions, events and Stadium matters
• Coteries
• St Kilda and the Community
• Sponsorship

[Joffa Burns]

Impressive Line up.

Could be the real deal here!

[ausfatcat]

well there not a dream team but comparing them to the current board they well and truely stack up. I am too imprerssed with Dana. Also didn't know tommo was a investment advisor.

[joffaboy]

I am interested in how the alternate ticket will raise our base revenue.

This is my concern with the new ticket, with "Footy First" the name of the game - how much focus will be put on revenue and long term sustained off field success.

Yes, we dont want to go from one extreme to the other.

Anyway good to see the alternate group has finally broken cover.

Lets hope we dont just get motherhood statements.

[stinger]

....after a cursory glance......and first blush.......they look okay to me.......no snake oil salesmen there........

[saintsRrising]

The group as oulined is not a high powered group.....cpable yes....but not MAJOR players...


Therefore to gain support they need to be very focussed on solutions.




At the moment the only thing I have heard is that they will spend more on the football department.....however we alreday know that the Club has committed to spend more on the football department this coming season and specifically on recruiting and the medical/training area.

[ausfatcat]

oh also noticed Mordy Bromberg is involved now he is impressive will be good to have him work on tribunal stuff.

[saintsRrising]

....after a cursory glance......and first blush.......they look okay to me.......no snake oil salesmen there........

I agree...they look ok.... but not outstanding.

[ausfatcat]

Well after thinking about it a little I expected one huge name and burke and the rest nuff nuff's. This alternative seems very ballanced but I still awaitsome plans from them.

[saintsRrising]

This is all well and good....

get that link off osama there people here they will hate him for life and will always bag him for righting something like that.......


I love him thou.

[saintsRrising]

. Also didn't know tommo was a investment advisor.

err there are investment advisors and investment advisors...

Most are just glorified commission salesman....rather than people actually knowledgable and independent with proper investment advice.



Just look at the thousands of auastralians who have had there lives ruined by being recommended to put ALL their money into high risk products that paid larhe commission to the "investment Advisors".

[saintsRrising]

No offence to Thommo and Burkey......but I think that you only really need one ex player ona Board (where they are on primarly due to that reason as opposed to someone that has MAJOR credibility ina business area) ...and that the other place would be better served with another high powered business person.



Having said that...the current Board can also be said to not have enough mix of skills and the mix of skill is perhaps more varied.

The Alternate Board does lack perhaps good connections to really BIG end of town (apart from Dana)...and hence access to those companies that spend really big $$$ on Sponsorship.

[ausfatcat]

but when compared to the surrent board?

let's see b4e rip into Mordy over his ideology!

[saintsRrising]

but when compared to the surrent board?

I am just trying to look at the pros and cons of the alternates....


The current Board is by now means perfect.

I must also for purely selfish reasons admit feelinga bit let down that there are no really high profile people involved....ones of the calibre that would have supplied immediate extra grunt.



The new group will instead have to demonstrate imagination and a vision as to why they would be better than the incumbents are their CVs alone are ceratainly nota reason to vote them in. Their Cs are also not a resaon to not vote for them either.




I just "hope" that the election process will be more than a "popularity" contest.

[saintsRrising]

To paraphrase a sporting movie...



SHOW ME THE POLICIES!!!!

i'm so jealous richmond have anthony mithen on their board

who were you thinking?

keith mcgowan?

daryl cotton?

[bungiton]

THe policies would be kept close to the chest until a general meeting to elect either board.

Why lay out a detailed list of ideas just to have the current admin say we were just about to do that anyway.

Nah Bungiton,
They surely would have to enunciate their ideas well before any vote ao that we , the voters, would have reason to support them/reject incumbents?

Otherwise what are you voting for?
Incumbents vs Unknowns

[JeffDunne]

You have discredited her and now she is your source

Source?

You really are a strange one. If Caro's prepared to write in an article that the board have been leaking information and you're not prepared to accept that on face value, I hardly see how me posting pointless anecdotes is going to convince you.

All I ask is you to validate your statements.

Why?

Or should I say why do you care so much?

I'm happy for events to backup/discredit my opinions.

[kaos theory]

This is all well and good....

SR - Its not in their interest to show in detail what they will do to address this. That will come out later.

The reason for this is that the current board can just copy them and say, 'oh yes, we have the same plan, or have that already covered'

The onus is just as much on the current board to show a clear vision forward, but all I see is they are floundering...
