Eventually yes. When there's a suitable option who aren't running around whispering about doing something but are actually willing to put up I'll assess them and vote accordingly. That doesn't mean Kernahan's appropriate as a board member. What have you seen that I haven't that makes you think he's in any way visionary or competent? If it was up to Kernahan we'd still have Camporeale running around half-back.



So Collo and Hunter are bad because they tried to redress the past by ousting Elliott and Sticks is good because he's never done so? I think your username might be interfering with your brain on this one.



Yep he can but he doesn't need to be on the board to do so.



There are a large number of people around the club. Sticks is just one of many people a player could approach if he had a problem. He's an ex-captain not an agony aunt.

Didn't know that as director of football he tried to keep Campo, enlighten us more GWS or are you just hypothesising? You would think that the director of football would have had a say in letting Campo go. You would also think that the director of football would have to be on the board, you know, as a director?

But I guess we could just get a businessman with no footy experience to fulfill that role, it can't be that important, can it?

Re names - I think you are just upset that we didn't get wells, or is that he has shown to be a little on the overrated side?

Nice post BV-
Agree completely
Good to know people are at least giving Graham more of a chance now- considering how he was virtually hung by some on here on his first day as President.

I am happy for Smorgan to stay on at the moment, I'm not happy with some of the things he's done but there are no other alternatives. You can't force someone into the role if they don't want it, it's an unpaid position, and I dont' see anyone of note putting their hand up.

If we win another game and we miss out on a vital draft pick he has failed his first big test miserably.

What does that have to do with Smorgan he doesnt play for the CFC.

such a stupid comment by Carlton Clod

Yeah, fair enough and well put.

Guess I'll cancel the membership next year and just contribute through the tax deductible Foundation Fund; after all, it's better for me and the Club still gets they money. Or is there a minimum contribution?

Kernahan wanted Campo to stay. Campo walked. No hypothesis.

Wells is overrated? By whom? You? Daniel Wells is a young kid who's shown that he's going to be a star. Is he inconsistent? Yes - he's a kid. Is he a super talent. Yes.

You still haven't answered what it is that you think makes Kernahan a visionary, innovative and highly competent board member.

When someone can show me how he fulfills that criteria I'll vote for him.

He's worth 30 million+ and all he can come up with is "six figures". Tightarse.

See what they do to you around here for making fun of well known posters... I'd thought I'd shown everyone that.

More to the point ... he has no obligation to put in any cash at all.

No he doesnt.
but he does have an obligation to steer the ship away from being a basketcase...

There are no initiatives under his leadership.

He will say AFL... Collo wasnt a fan of going to the AFL until all other avenues were exhausted...but it was his contacts with the AFL that made it happen..
The redevelopment??? Collo.

Just waiting on a single major Smorgon initiative.

and yes youre right Heady.. he is under no obligation...

But then youre average rank and file members isnt either.. but we all do...

How does anyone know it was done begrudgingly? I take offence at the new title of the thread - it has a political slant to it that may or may not be true.

As Headplant has said, he didnt have to do anything but has, so who is to say what actually made him contribute?

If it was to head-off a move on his position or quell unrest at the Board, or for the peasants like us, then that doesn't make it begrudging. That makes it well-timed, or political, or macchiavellian, or just one thing a sitting Leader can do (similar to a political ploy when in Government... the power of incumbency) to maintain power.

i reckon its important for members to begin voting and stop allowing the club to just roll along aimlessly.. you dont have to vote for change... but you should care enough to vote

Was it 9 votes or so for that Clarke guy?

i think he went down to the vice president valmorbida on single digits..

then they brought in people from outside of the elections as invitees onto the board... people who wont rock the boat.

Clark should have been invited on first.. seeing he threw his hat into the ring in an election and went down to the VP by nine votes...
