Agree 100%
I dont reckon Smorgon has a plan, and i dont reckon smorgon has much of a clue. BUT did it ever occur to you Synbad, in your infinate wisdom, that the guys he's brought in MIGHT just have some ideas? That they MIGHT have a plan?
How about before you go and bag every single name that gets thrown up, you actually give them a chance to say something. And i know what you're thinking; why should we give these guys a chance when smorgon has failed us before?
The answer is simple. Just because Smorgon appointed these 4 guys, it DOES NOT necessarily mean that they want to align themselves with him. We all know that Smorgons up s**t creek without a paddle...he'll take any help he can get right now, even if it means the guys that he brings in eventually go on to screw him over.
I think you'll find that for harrison and moulton, joining the board now is a means to an end. They want top get their voices heard and get the ball rolling in order to eventually create change. Massive Change.
People like you, Synbad, who do have a genuine love of the footy club, HAVE to give these guys a chance to be heard! Then, and only then, can they be judged fairly.

Political post? Of course, as it is a political subject.

Blue Vain's post about 'democracy' is smart, as I didn't state my case too well, but I guess my point is that considering the short timeframe, I'm not too worried about the appointees.

As for being a stooge for Smorgon or anyone else, I'm not advocating him or anyone else, just putting some thoughts into perspective.

treating us all like the intelligent adults that we are.

[Of that's only if you are a stooge - if you're not then there's no need for you to be concerned hey?

One can't help but wonder where your perspective has been prior to this weeks events.

Anally expelling razor blades like everyone else over what's been in the paper, especially over the coaching issue.

That's why I want a stable committee, whether it be Smorgon's mob or another. Once there is a stable committee, which isn't split down the middle like the current version, then that's who I'll vote for.

By the way when i hear people saying "Smorgon might have a plan buit you dont know it".... i wanna laugh into their faces and tell them how thick they are.!

DNH geez youre like the bloke who found a pay envelope on the ground and upon looking in bitched and moaned the tax was taken out...

Just on holiday on Phi Phi Island and have got wind of the latest news..
Expect Harrison and Moulton from Smorgons current ticket to opt out and merge with the best from Elliotts ticket.

They both deny deals being done with Smorgon to avoid a blood-letting at board level.
