I'd like think they all are genuine supporters, I know Klemich definitely is.
This might sound harsh, but the only appeal with Goodings is that he's a Channel 7 newsreader and is a favourite of the blue rinse brigade.
Maybe next year we can vote Keith Conlon onto the board too
Yep, except I think our supporters have had enough of lawyers and accountants after having Chapman run the show. Also having someone like Fagan as a CEO who was very corporate. I get your point though.

The only two to get more than 9% of the vote we’re Goodings and Jameson.
I think Goodings will be a legit member voice and won’t be afraid to rock the boat if need be.
Jameson, well we can try and out him again next year.

Rod will just jump online for some supoorter engagement the day before the vote and get in again on name recognition.
If we need coin, we can still “put it on the house” with Rod “sack the players” Jamo on the board.
Anne Wills for CEO!I'd like think they all are genuine supporters, I know Klemich definitely is.

As someone said on his Twitter account, funny how it became active again after six years when it was voting time.

The sad thing is that people just don't care that there's zero engagement from him, all they see is "JAMO" and blindly vote for him cos you know, it's JAMO !!!!
The big concern is that when Chapman left, he more or less admitted that after Robert Foord passed away there was a lack of future leadership on the board. Reappointing Jameson and voting in Goodings does little to address this as they were both voted for solely on name value rather than what they would bring to the table.

Did they announce what % each of the unsuccessful candidates got?
or total votes?

Nothing about total votes. I wonder if it was as little as 20% of the eligible member base.

The only positive I can see there is Goodings got the 2 years over Jameson, also that the club cares a lot more about diversity of thought than the members do...

Having multiple candidates will only help the recognised candidates, those that don't want to vote for someone like Jamo end up splitting their votes.

Which is why I hope next year is a much smaller field

Haha just goes to show how insignificant the members are that get on this Big Footy board are in te bigger picture.

I definitely agree, however even if there was only two other candidates we still would have gotten the same result.
If you look at the numbers and also knowing how a reasonable portion of our supporter base thinks, you can almost bank on the fact that 99% of the Jamo voters would have also voted for Goodings.
Therefore it's fairly safe to assume that around 60% of the votes would have been Jamo/Goodings votes so unfortunately it wouldn't have made a difference to the end result.

Eventually the majority of the member base are going to not know who Rod Jameson is. He last played in 1999 so probably only a few years to go.

Committed to what? The club, not your family?
Apparently
Or you’re fired… via the member elected third string board member.
