Well, well, well, the club after a decade is back to December AGMs, which was the norm before 2013! Got the email about 10 minutes ago

Why? Did last year's Director elections stir things up?? Do they want a shorter election period?

This means we will have to produce our accounts in December. Does the club now think its so profitable that it doesn't have to bury things until February? We are confident about analysing the past season at the AGM, not saying last season is behind us - we are moving forward type cliches because its February and most of pre season has been completed??

I think its a good move.

Rob Snowdon is up for election. He was on the Footy Committee that last August (2023) recommended Ken to be re-signed before the finals started. Make that of what you want to.

First time in a while it's not being held in the new year when the emotions have settled a bit.

I'll hopefully get to this.

I think i'm happy enough for Snowdon to continue, I think he's on our side generally by the sounds.

Wonder whether Koch will parachute in another more amenable former player to take the spot, like Cassisi.

December 2012 was the last December AGM.

I may dress as Santa and run again

I reckon a member running on a very simple 'Sack Ken - Sack Koch - Sack Richo' platform would almost get over the line...

But would they get past the nominations process??

Don't you just need to be a financial member, and then have 1 (financial) proposer + 5 (financial) seconders? Do they have the ability to block nominees?

 

[Kenny_Powers]

Would Abernathy run again? What was his actual stance on Ken and our underperformance?

Can't tell with Snowden

FishingRick04 can tell you the full story but they have a vetting process. How stringent it is he would be able to answer as he has been thru the process.

It’s not that hard. CEO and Osborne interviewed me, attempted to steer me away from running without telling me not to run. Sort of an interview or get to know you with a vested interest.

Fairly certain former players can only go through the member elected route, that’s why Tredrea had to wait a year. A stupid rule seeing as the players have the most name recognition with the fanbase, so naturally they’d end up being best placed to win the election. Something I’d like to see changed for sure.

Well from what I have read here Koch stance is he doesn’t want a board full of former footy players. To control this make them go via member elect process.

Also saves the club a hassle of some no name member like myself getting lucky and getting on the board because former player will surely win 99% of the time.

What Koch forgets out boards when fully member controlled were fantastic Port orientated boards focused on football achievements.

Yep, and what, 14 of the last 18 premiers have come from clubs with member elected boards. Koch is an arrogant ****head.

He was very much in the “Remember 2012? Who you gonna get?” camp.

He also put a lot of emphasis on nearly beating Hawthorn in the 2014 Prelim….10 whole years ago.

That is the route that Koch has determined. He wont appoint an ex player to the board but there is nothing constitution that says it has to be that way.
