Prediction Dr Sonja Hood AM

[Horizons_00]

My view is that when someone with the qualities of Sheez commits long-term to the club that speaks volumes about the internal culture & Sonja is a large part of building it.

That's good point actually. I suppose we are retaining players. Maybe they're all been sold the dreammmmm

 

[CURVE]

Sonja brought in and supported to bring in Noble? Ben (CEO disaster), and now Clarko (if it becomes a bad decision). Everyone including Todd, Emma, Brady, all of em need to be reviewed. None of them should be safe.

And Sonja became our president.... 4 years ago or less?

• Under her helm or upon her arrival we have become the worst performing team in the history of AFL.
• Right under her nose, we have had 15 wins, with 5 bottom 2 finishes in a row (in 5 years)

Sure it isn't all her fault but i feel like this stat is to blame of everyone but the people at the top making these decisions. Unfortunately we have gone backwards with her being the president (including others of course). And if we are going to blame the players and or the coach then she has been involved in getting some of these coaches to coach us. So again, she's making these bad decisions with little to no good judgement.

Not saying lets go fire everyone, stability is good, but we've had stability for the past 4 years or so and it hasn't done shit. The only real change we had is when we did a review under Geoff (who wasn't even at our club lol). No one should be safe from a review, no more lollipops and rainbows, no more pointless emails to the members bullshit (especially someone like Brady)

Some harsh truths need to be made or will just coast onto mediocrity for years to come.

Sonja was appointed club President on March 15 2022, and before that, I think she had been on the board since 2018. So, she was on the board when a lot of the decisions regarding Ben Amarfio and Brady Rawlings were being made.

It would be interesting to know if all board decisions had to be unanimous, or if a majority or even 75% majority is required for a decision to pass. I heard of a few boards which require a 75% majority.

Sonja can be part of the problem or part of the solution. Simple really

The question is which is she thou?

Without being involved in the four walls it’s anyone’s guess.

What would be interesting to conduct a review of her tenure and influence. Now im not pointing my finger directly at her. I simply believe her culture she is creating is soft and weak. The presidents at the footy clubs I played at in my day were revered, courageous, legends and considered hard individuals.

Mate, I never heard of our president other than she posted on big footy once or twice. **** me dead. Get ****ing Ricky Ponting in ASAP. A ****ing Revered legend with connections coming out of his arse, also, Ricky stood down the pitch and cracked every ****ing bowler that pitched it at his head.


Oh Ricky’s only issue was to pick when Warne was Bowling. RICKY MADE THE ****ING RUNS.

She needs to go. Ponting in!

SOS Ponting.

Roo Lotto. **** off with that shit

Football clubs with Neanderthal's as Presidents don't survive in this era.

Pretty sure she played a part in the Roo-sistence fight to keep North South in late 2007, early 2008 and then she narrated a North documentary a few years later. I thought she was a well known North supporter. At least to those who support North.

Oh Ricky’s only issue was to pick when Warne was Bowling. RICKY MADE THE ****ING RUNS.

So did Hayden, Langer, Gilchrist, Clarke and a number of others.

Ponting was lucky he became the Australian Captain at the height of its powers after Border, Taylor and Waugh had done all the hard work building the team and culture over the previous 20 years. I wouldn't trust him to run a club and wouldn't trust him build or rebuild a club culture.

But he may be good after all the hard work has been done and we are cruising towards our fourth or fifth premiership.

Yeah and it ain’t looking to good at the minute..
if we continue on the current trajectory, it’ll be brutal mid year.

****ing BULLSHIT. Why is Brendan Gale taking over the new team after taking Richmond to the promise land. Brendan Gale is the biggest neanderthal going round. He is an intelligent Liberal neanderthal. Have a ****ing spell. He had a pair of big kahunas and isnt shy of telling campaigners to get ****ed.

You can ship off with ya ****ing piss ant president too

Ponting is one of the greatest Cricketers of our time. Go **** yourself.

 

[archereleven]

Talk about simplistic views on what a cricket captain has to take on...

Hitting the ball and picking bowlers is the least of their worries.

Never met an intelligent Neanderthal, I have met a few Neaderthal's, I've always found when they have nothing to say they get quite abusive, they lack the intelligence to have a respectful conversation.

 

[CURVE]

I'm not debating his greatness as a cricketer, but I am debating his ability to be a Club President with no experience whatsoever.

He made and impacted the Aus cricket team from being easy beats to a competitive team they are now. **** off. PUNTER FOR PRES

 

[DuckYeah]

Punter is the MAN! Punter is the right person for the job. PUNTER MUST be our president.

And it will happen. Mark my ****ing words.

Game over Sonja

 

[DuckYeah]

And when was the last time we heard from this campaigner? When she was crucified in the media? She has said nothing because she knows her time is up. Bring on PUNTER.

One ****ing sit down with the boys in pre season will have these boys up and about.

Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh never lost an Ashes series as Captain, Ponting lost two, so in fact Australian cricket went backward under Ponting.

I think we should have Steve Waugh as NMFC President instead of Ponting as he is a winner.

 

[DuckYeah]

We’ve got way way more problems than worrying about Sonia duck ….

Fish rots at the head

 

[RossHenshaw]

Fish rots at the head

Yep … starting with Clarko

 

[DuckYeah]

Yep … starting with Clarko

Rubbish. He’s had 1 year and he has been forced to be captain nice guy by our soft board that are unable to/weak as piss to press him.
