lets give the bloke a chance.

Dont worry he will get a chance.
He has that much confidence in himself that he has appointed TWO vice presidents.. one of which is a club icon to protect him.
Over and above that he will claim the credit on a couple of things that are about to happen that he has NO RIGHT to.
One will be announced July1 and is a Mathieson initiative finded privately by Mathieson that will net the club 1 million a year or thereabouts.
The other is Collos redevelopment plan.. The only thing still needed is the handing over of the lease to the AFL and the compensation as well as making sure the club does it as safely as possible.

Has no right to the credit of any of these things.

Youre a bitter man Synbad who has no idea about the amount of work Smorgon has put in..
Beginning to wonder if you have ulterior motives in your constant denigration of the man..

I know what smorgon has done..... he has been riding the coat tails of Collo for three years.
Tell me this Josh... would he even be there if it wasnt for collo??

You obviously think i dont know whats going on behind the scenes????

Politics is about opportunity.
Opportunity was taken... !!!

It doesnt mean theyre going to be a viable alternative for what we need.

And im not bitter at all...Bitter would suggest i missed out on the Presidency.. im just a VERY CONCERNED MEMBER!!!.. VERY VERY CONCERNED!!!

We have Smorgon with deputies John (I won by seven votes )Valmorbida.. and Sticks (I used to be a Jack man )Kernahan...
Actually Sticks wasnt going to do it and it was going to be another VP... but in the end .. Sticks toook it and someone else was left behind...id say that someone else might be bitter this morning not me...

And youll find out what Mathieson has done for the club in a couple of months... even as he has been living in Brisbane and has little time in a couple of months to set it up for the future... and throw in Dan Murphies...

I wanna know what the 'chewers of the fat' have done for the club!!!.. maybe youd like to help me Josh????

Im not bitter.. youre just biased.!!!

I want doers not babykissers and handshakers!!!

yes you can be president of your own appreciation group.

Now move along...

didn't answer my question

didn't answer my question

If you brought $1m to the club, and can demonstrate the ability to run the club in all its facets, there's no reason you wouldn't be considered for a position. If you simply gave $1m, there's nothing to support any claim of a presidency.

You said Synbad didn't answer your question, but the question has to be framed in all seriousness to warrant a serious response.

There is no reason to be concerned Synners. All I'm saying is that your fiery calls for revolution will absolutely dismantle the club right when it seems we are taking some positive steps forward.

Board challengers have an adverse effect on on-field performance- see wooden spooners Richmond, Hawthorn, Melbourne etc all the subject of poor seasons when there are board challengers. Do we need to endure the turmoil of all this again?

I just think it is extremely rich on your part to endorse a challenging ticket to Smorgon before he has even begun his reign as President. The eagerness of your cronies on this forum to follow you is equally as distressing.
You keep mentioning $ figures as an indication of how much one has contributed to the football club- you will be extremely humbled to know just how much Graeme and his father Sam have pledged to Carlton over the years.

If, at the end of the season your concerns are still not addressed, then perhaps there is reason for questioning the current board.

But now? 15 hours into Smorgons presidency?
I dont know about you-- but I smell a rat..

na that's no rat Josh that's just the stench from Atlas's armpits, it takes a bit of energy (and therefore sweat) to hold the whole world on your shoulders.

I've got the whole world in my hand....

Sorry Josh youre bringing in Sam Smorgon into this.. Sam did do some work for Carlton.
Sam made Graeme a rich boy...

This isnt about Sam its about Graeme .. our new president.!!!

What has he done???

See i dont give a @#$%&! about a president who wont come on the radio.. i think whats rich is an 8 man board with 2 vice presidents.. which means they control nearly 50% of the board..

That to me is shoring up his power...

WEAK!
the only answers he has are the ones already laid out on a platter by others...

shoring up power is what they all do. The point is , will he be any good? Time will tell not past but future time. Others have been pridicated to fall and yet have stood tall. Hell who knows, he may be brilliant now he is the Fearless Leader, let's just give him a year (less?) and see.

Im just fuming dannyboy...

They did a Brutus...

I know Collo wasnt the right bloke to take us forward... but they all chewed off his fat for three years.`...

I definitely know Smorgon Sticks and Val morbid arent either.
