Ahhhh, so YOU told Hughesy to draft JR

I've gone off the idea of "tickets" being formed.
Why do we need 8 or 10 people who present themsleves as a group.
I prefer if we can choose 10 individuals who sell themselves as individuals.
We got stuck with a few board members tacked to Collo's list without knowing much about them and it has been a disaster.
Greg Lee was a good candidate on his own. He didnt need to piggy back onto someoen elses list.
Let people nominate as individuals and we can pick the 10 or 12 or 8 best

Further, I'd have thought the lessons of Marcus Clarke have told us all to be very careful with our votes

What happened in respect of Clarke, Molsey?

And one you might not want to answer on a public forum: who do you think could make way for fresh faces?

No news on the grapevine where I am...other than a few interesting snippets about phone conversations that have occured between a few famous Carlton ex-players

Not naming names so here goes....

A man who laid a great tackle in the '99 Prelim on Dean Wallis wants to keep the ball rolling and is after some mates to join the cause...has approached all his old mates that include a former backman who can cure your dog, a midfielder who won 2 b&f's while wearing contact lenses, a south australian who was also a handy cricketer, a man who owns Tammy Wynettes greatest hits and a little rover / financier who employed Kouta.

...Ok - I'll stop being so cryptic...Sticks has also been doing the phone calls and just telling people in the deepest voice possible - "The last thing we need now is for blood to be spilt - I know where you're coming from - but now isn't the right time"...or so the story goes.

But the 'Dog' might have a couple of names already - a premiership wingman who wanted to be on the board a couple of years ago (who incidently has the smarts and is a great bloke)... a Carlton person who is involved in the media...a bloke who can fix your back and he might yet approach the current AFL Football Administration Manager.

I will reiterate that this is just a few men in suits in a city cafe having a yarn over a latte and a biscotti...but my gut feeling is that if anything is to happen - it won't happen until November and it won't happen unless Daniel Grollo comes to the party.

Kernahan is useless. Someone like Rob Walls should be on the board to deal with the footballing side of things.
