[Oh When the Saints]

I agree with you partially saintsRrising, BUT:

1. Someone said above that Dana bought a Carlton membership at a Visy fundraiser a few months ago ... she may have been in a position where that was the correct thing to do.

2. In becoming a board member, she is putting her professional reputation on the line to an extent ... whilst it is not her career, she doesn't want to be associated with a bad board or a failure.

On 1. GEEZE... I said in my first post on this that people can have genuine reasons for having bought a membership at another club. Let me repeat for the umpteeth time... IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH ME.


What I am interested in is NOT that irrelevant issue....but the very RELEAVANT iss ue of WHT she wants to be on the Board IF it is the case that she is not actuallya saints supporter.

That is not a reason to go on the Board....

IF she is not passionate about the Saints as the FFS websites state she is......then why is she seeking to be on the Board??? What is her real reason.


If she is in fact a passionate Saints fan..then all well and good.

[Oh When the Saints]

Sorry sRr ... I missed your first post about buying membership at another club.

[saintsRrising]

OWTS.....I think Dana is one of the most impressive people, if not the most impressive on the ticket.


but If she is not reallya saints person then I for one will discount her worth and there will bea ? next her.

I was at a function at the Halosrecently and this topic came up in an anti Rod discussion with a former club exec or board member (not sure)- He said that Rod Butterss had barracked for Richmond, and only joined stkilda as a member for the first time in the year he joined the board with GT. Glen Casey barracked for Hawks and and only joined stkilda as a member for the first time in the year he joined the board, after the Hawks knocked him back when he approached them for a board position. Mark Kellett played 55 games for us but was never a member and only joined stkilda as a member for the first time in the year he joined the board. So none of the "footy subcommittee" as described in the SFF Pack even barracked for the Saints!!!!!!!!!!

Glen Casey was a Saints supporter but was doing sponsorship some work for the Hawks. I believe and I am pretty sure Rod Butterss has always been a Saints supporter.

WOM has Kellet at 155 games....and I think RB played u19s for the Saints at the same time as GT

I think that is when the 3 first met???

[Oh When the Saints]

Kellet played 155 games for THREE clubs ...

4 years at St Kilda, 5 years at Footscray and 4 years at Sydney.


Butterss played U/19's before he took up running, but has always been a Saints man.

[4theluvoftheclub]

From our club's website on Board members link: "Represented St Kilda Football Club in 55 games. Also represented the Sydney Football Club and Footscray Football Club for a total of 155 VFL games."

Ah another new poster....well if playing games does not count...who did NB, AT and Mordi barrack for as kids???

Personally I would have thought that their playing for saints may be more important.

[Bernard Shakey]

Do you really think who you played for counts in this day and age?

Sheedy played for Richmond, but has always been a Bombers man.

You play for the team that gives you a game, not the team you supported as a kid.

[4theluvoftheclub]

So is kellett a saints man, a doggies man or a sydney man?

[saintsRrising]

So is kellett a saints man, a doggies man or a sydney man?

What do you think...which Board did he go for and then serve many years on???

AT also hada bit of experience with the Dogs....so does that make hima Dogs man??


All of this is just a distraction though.....we KNOW that AT, NB and MK are all Saints...

The question IS however is Dana a Saints lady or not???

And Harves barracked for the Bombers as a kid.
And David Neitz barracked for the Saints as a kid.

Also Mordi Bromberg played for the Saints around that time also - late 70s, early 80s.

[Mr Magic]

RB is gone!

Patrick Smith is defending him and his regime strongly, as I type this.

Might be true MM

but in this instance a lot of points that smith is making is on the money.

Westaway comments re drugs grog etc ....the way it was done

was a disgrace.

Chook23, you're losing the battle here.

The fact that it is Smith making these points will ensure that most who are posting on this topic run in the other direction. He has absolutely no credibility with them and so anything he says will be discounted.

Like so much of the discussion on here the last few days, any word from SFF is greeted with adulation and any mention of anything positive from RB's Board is met with derision.

As has been stated previously, the Board challenge, IMO, is a fait acompli.

Hopefully it will be a good thing for our Club.

[Filling]

I assume Dana has worked closely with one of the FFS ticket before and is very interested in the challenge. Thats how Boards are normally formed.

Once she joins her professional reputation will be on the line ... volunteer or not.

Its a big commitment and I am sure she would not have taken her decision to join lightly.

I think you will find that she has worked with Ross Leven.

I am not even worried or it is not about losing the battle MM but

over the top emotion is just clouding so many.......

yes I am emotional about my club but am listening to both sides............

to say a journo convinces you... but their call

[saintsRrising]

Ah Ross...has not "officially" swapped camps but is the only one apart from Gdanski that the FF resolution is not seeking to remove.

[saintsRrising]

King is chairing (and normally chairs Board Meetings)
Basset is an apology due to observinga Jewish Holiday

[saintsRrising]

Rod is to read a prepared statement...with questions after.

[saintsRrising]
