I've created this as a new topic on the off-chance that at least one director of the Carlton Football Club is clued-up enough to scan supporter sites to gauge the reaction to the revelations regarding Lorraine 'My Dad Played for Carlton' Diggins.
I figured that this mythical director wouldn't bother to open topics, but just scan their titles.
But if said director DID bother to open this message, then here's the deal:
This club, or any organisation for that matter, can't afford naive self-serving idiots to be on the board. People who are only there to feel a part of the action and to stroke their own considerable ego, USED to fill up football club boards in the bad old days before professionalism caught up with AFL clubs.
I'm not just basing this on a single leaked report. I defy Diggins or any of her supporters (if she has any) to tell us exactly what she's brought to the club in the position of Director. Apart from being related to an ex-player and being female.
Diggins - get the hell out your director's position. You've relinquished all rights to that privileged position.
Absolutely galling to think that she's sitting there, and a person like Marcus Clarke isn't.
Lorraine is a passionate Carlton supporter, you shouldn't personally denigrate people because that's one of the conditions of this site or do the rules only apply when they suit you?
If being a passionate Carlton supporter is the only pre-requisite to being a positive member of the board, then there will be thousands.
Being on the board is more than that Game. Lorraine has added nothing with her tenure there, so either she puts up or pisses off and makes room for someone who will bring new things to the club.
If validly calling into question someones ability on a pubic board is "denegration" then God help the CFC. No one has put forward a cohearant argument as to her value on the board. No one.
